Hipsters.

the Hipster is probably the counter-culture of this generation, or maybe cybergoth, IDK, but what people DON'T know is that there are many different types of hipsters:

(NOTE: These are just my observations)

The American hipster represent those young adults straight out of college (or in college) who give off the impression that they have no money, no food, and barely any central air conditioning, which is why they tend to dress in a very contradictory fashion: sweaters, sweatshirts, hoodies, with rolled up jeans, or crop-tops with winter ugg boots. Even though they give off the impression that they don't care, they really do care; they care about the trust fund money that they are currently spending on that one bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, the money they are spending on shirts of horses from urban outfitters, and the money that it takes to be ironic. Yes sir, the American hipster is all about irony: caring about looking like you don't care.

British hipsters have a sort of elegance about them. Due to the unfortunate geographical location, the weather is normally depicted as partly cloudy, partly cloudy, partly cloudy...so this hipster knows that they need to look stylish but stay at a reasonable body temperature as well, so most of these outfits consist of leggings under shorts, big blazers, throwbacks to the new wave subcultures, and a look reminiscent of a character from the nutcracker, this hipster, while successfully appearing stylish, also fails to match. This hipster is all about being quirky: cute, fun, and lacking the ability to match clothes like a 6 year old picking out their own outfits for the first time.

The Japanese hipsters' look is reminiscent of their favorite tv show, band, lifestyle, cartoon characters, etc. While this may not be the hipster look we are all used to, this look, for Japanese society, does give off the impression that they aren't putting forth that much effort into their appearances. This look is often heavily copied.

Due to the ridiculous temperature, (chilly in the morning, hot in the day, moist at night), this Georgia hipster is prepared to face any type of weather. The Georgia hipster is most likely an out-of-townee, coming here to attend art college and eat at local sandwich shops in newly gentrified neighborhoods. The Georgia hipster normally gets their clothing from unknown boutiques, attends many shows of local indie rockers, and has a disdain for college football. This hipster can be described as beatnik: the only reason they exist is because of the rising art scene.

Lets play a game: can you guess which is which??

Oh they're everywhere...

Nero: Welcome Reality

In the year 2808...darkness looms over Earth as worlds collide...two humans make a discovery that will ignite the war between the oppressed and the superior, and change the world forever......

I gotta say, that this is the first album that I actually downloaded each track, and loved it so much that I supported Nero and BOUGHT it.

Apparently this is a concept album. A concept album is meant to tell a story, or set in some sort of theme. Nero's Welcome Reality album is supposed to be based off of their love for apocalyptic films or something like that. Either way, this album is meant to make the listener feel as if they are watching a movie in their heads.

Well,  mission accomplished. This is the first album that I've ever been able to close my eyes and listen to every track in order and come up with a story. To me, this story would be based in a dystopic society in the future, kind of like Akira, or any of those anime films that came out in the 80's.  This album doesn't just have one sound, it has dubstep, it has house, drum n bass, electronic, ambient..etc.

Every song seems to have some sort of message, like Choices, which explains how humans are destroying the world that they live in by the result of the choices they make, and some songs sound like something that should be played in a futuristic space ship chase scene, like Me & You, or Must Be The Feeling.

Recommended for: anime lovers, sci-fi geeks who watch movies with explosions and robots and anything directed by Michael Bays or M. Knight Shamaylan.

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.
