AC3 Prep

In a few days, I will start the Assassins Creed 3 prep. What's that? well it's when a game comes out, you play each sequel in order until you get to the last one, then right as you get to the ending, save it, and wait for the next installment in the series to come out. Once it comes out, you continue where you left off on the last game, and THEN start the new game.

Here's what I did last year:
in honor of Assassins Creed Revelations, I played and beat AC1 and AC2, played halfway through brotherhood and once I got near the ending I saved it, waited until ACR came out, then after I got home, I continued where I left off with Brotherhood, and once I got to the ending, I was able to pick up where I left off by starting revelations.

Well, this year Assassins Creed 3 is coming out, and again, I will be playing through AC 1, 2, Brotherhood, respectively. Once I get to Revelations, I will save the game near the ending, and once I get the game on October 30th, I will pick up where I left off on Revelations, and then start AC3. Best remedy for cliffhangers ever.

Mecca Of Crazy Dreams: Back to back

I keep having these weird dreams:

One night last week I had a dream about Thor X Skyrim. I had to get Thor's hammer to summon the lightning and kill a very powerful dragon. This dream is probably because I keep playing Skyrim and it was storming that night.

Then a few nights ago I had a dream about the revolutionary war:
the weirdest thing about this dream was that it wouldn't continue unless I imagined what would happen next, like writing a book
In the dream, there was this boy who witnessed the death of his parents at the hands of redcoat soldiers. He then decided to fight the battle himself. The little boy ran into a camp of redcoats and was severely outnumbered, but an old man came to his rescue. The little boy asked the old man what his purpose was for also fighting the war himself, and it changed to a flashback sequence.

This old man used to be the owner of a very large and proud plantation. His wife had a child, but the child was stillborn. They eventually bought a little slave toddler and named him Prometheus. Since the man and his wife had no children of their own, they raised Prometheus like he was their own child. Years later, the wife died and it was just the man and Prometheus together like father and son, but the other slaves did not approve of this relationship, so one day they barged into the man's home and threatened to revolt, starting by killing off the man. The man cried for Prometheus to come and save him, but one of the slaves went "Prometheus isn't here for you, now!" which devastated the man, letting the slaves burn down his house while he was still inside. After he came to consciousness, he questioned God why he spared his life in the fire, and he got up and set off to find Prometheus.
This dream probably has something to do with the fact that Assassins Creed 3 and Liberation is coming out and I'm STOKED.

Another dream I had today was about the Revolutionary war AGAIN: this time they were burying someone by a river and saying a eulogy. I have no idea.

Assassins Creed 3 Sneek Peek Review

I am sooooo stoked for Assassins Creed to be coming out in October. At E3 they showed previews of different elements of gameplay.

Assassins Creed Frontier Gamplay

This preview of the game shows Connor hunting a deer, selling the meat, talking to a guy about an assassination target, and getting to the base to murk him. I'm excited about this new part of the game, I might look forward to just playing in the woods instead of the actual cities. The scenery is wonderful, it reminds me of walking through Skyrim. For the first time I see an actual cutscene and hear Connor talk, and no one has an accent, which is unfamiliar in an AC game.

 Assassins Creed Naval Gameplay

One thing I know for sure is that I am going to fail this boat mission badly. For some reason this part of the game is in the carribbean and all of a sudden 2 British ships show up. You bomb one ship and it sinks, while you invade the next ship with your weapons drawn. 

Assassins Creed Boston Gameplay

Beantown looks so beautiful in this game. The developer man said that they have added new dynamic weather systems, like the weather will change, the seasons will change, it's very interesting to see. The crowd dynamics in AC games are always up to par as you hear their reactions while you climb buildings, there's even this freed slave lady I think telling you about the British and in that above screenshot she's yelling "hey redcoats, why don't you put yourself back across the pond!" so she can get his attention, while Connor assassinates him.

That's America.

I am so stoked to be playing this game and even more stoked to already have my pre-ordered copy at gamestop. TeeHee.
