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.

Fashion Trends That I Don't Understand.

There are some fashion trends I love, some I hate, some that I'm just now embracing, and some that I don't understand. Well, theses are the ones I don't understand.

1. Maxi Skirts

A few years ago, I was a bridesmaid at my sisters' wedding. We had to wear these long black dresses and while everyone else looked normal, I looked longer and thinner than I really am, and people kept commenting on how tiny I was which pissed me off to oblivion.

I don't mind the hippy revival, in fact I was all into it at one point, but I am just not fond of long skirts- especially not on my tree-like figure. All I would have to do is wear a green maxi skirt, paint myself green, and get green liberty spikes and wham-o, I am now the statue of liberty.

2. Crop Tops

It's summertime in Georgia, and that means it's hot. So hot weather means summer clothing right? Not for everyone. I know that despite someone's body type they have to keep cool, but lets just say that not everything is flattering on everyone, there's just some parts of your body we don't want to see; in addition to being hot we don't want to be nauseous too.

I don't mind a crop top with a shirt on under it, but I wont be caught dead in a crop top, I just don't think it's appropriate to be wearing to wal-mart ffs. Every time I see a crop top I just picture those girls in the rap videos dancing next to a car parked by a pool or something like that, but I guess it's cute depending on how you wear it and how short it is. I guess IDK..

3. Neon Lipstick

Pink and purple and red is one thing, but green and yellow and all these other colors are just strange. I'm not sure I could pull this off because my lips are big enough, I don't want them to stand out any more, plus having blue lips brings back childhood memories of eating candy before school and walking around with blue lips for an hour. Like I said before, this is one of those trends that look good depending on how you wear it, mainly on BBC radio host Gemma Carney who is full of cool BTW.

4. Creepers

Legend has it that they were originally worn by WWII servicemen. When the servicemen would go to England, the English people caught onto the who idea or them or something like that. This trend is actually growing on me, I actually think it's pretty cute when worn the right way, but for me it would be really out of character to wear them. Whenever I see them, I think Tim Burton movie for some reason, they're just so silly and Willy Wonka-like. I haven't embraced them quite well, and I most likely wont be getting a pair any time soon, but they sure do beat those other shoes they used to sell at hot topic.

5. Feather Accessories

Feather earrings, necklaces, hair extentions, etc are a part of a collection I like to call "Native American Remorse Tribute". I think that people are so guilty of the treatment of Native Americans that they decide to use all of their trends and re-surface them, along with UGG boots and fringe stuff. I used to like this stuff when I lived in Arizona and it was everywhere, but now it's kind of played out, especially since Ke$ha got her hands on it.

6. Lace Clothing

 

 

I have no choice to embrace this trend since it's EVERYWHERE, but what's the deal? Madonna isn't wearing it, this isn't the Victorian era, why all the lace? Are we goth?

I'm pretty sure that there are more trends out there that are crossing over from "dislike" to "don't understand", but these are them for now. I'm scared to see what the future holds, and it looks like it's holding translucent nails.

Boys.

I like boys. Ok?

I am straight. I only like guys.

Unfortunately many people fail to realize it. Due to my non-existent love life I come off as a "confused" individual to some. My mom will even do this thing where she sees a guy on t.v. and goes "he's good looking..don't you think so?" like she's trying to get a certain response out of me, and for those who want to know, I just go,"mmmmmm"

I do have a boyish side, but again, that's because I have always been one of the guys, so I picked up some of their mannerisms that I use to this day, i.e. the overusage of the word "DUUUUUUUUDE!"

I don't really take myself too seriously; I never really put much effort into my appearance, I don't wear makeup, I'm just really low maintinence. The reason why I'm this way is because I used to put lots of effort into my appearance to appear attractive, and I thought that being attractive would make me happier with who I was. Once I turned 16, I had gotten the hint that no guys would like me no matter what, so I started to dress up how I wanted to dress and what would make me comfortable. My mom gets on me about this all the time, going "you're a young lady, you need to take care of yourself more" but the whole point of me doing what I do is because I knew that no one was looking at me.

I am literally invisible to guys, and because of my lack of love life, I just think it would be incredibly awkward for someone outside my family to tell me that they love me, I don't even like giving hugs for christ sakes.

But I've just never been the obvious type to show my attraction towards certain guys. I wasn't all loud and obnoxious like the rest of the girls were when they'd go "OMG HE'S SOOOO HAWT DFJSKDFJDNSFSNFD,NSFS,D!!!!!!!!!" I like guys too, I just don't show enough emotion to make it known.

Fashion Inspiration: I Miss The 90's

Back when I was a little kid and didn't have to worry about things like bills, money, and my future, I was happy and having fun and stress free. Back in the 90's when the sun shined all the time and I still stayed inside to play video games.

Songs

• So Much For The Afterglow by Everclear
• Volcano Girl by Veruca Salt
• Saying Goodbye by The Greenhornes
• Here Comes The Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze
• Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle by Nirvana
• some songs by the spice girls that I can't remember and don't feel like researching.

Notte: I didn't include pics of "clueless" because although we owned the VHS, I didn't actually watch it until 2004, and when I saw it, I was just like.."wow :S"

 

 

New Things.

Lately I had been having a hard time with some things. I had been having financial trouble, stressed with my school tuition, and upset with my job. I was about to give up and just drop everything.

I came to the conclusion that this was just life, but it wasn't rock bottom; I still had a job, I almost have enough for a car (despite helping my mom with the bills) and I was going to take a trip to my school's financial aid office to straighten things out.

Today was the day we were planning to go to the financial office originally. However, I received an email yesterday that my financial aid had been processed and I just had to accept my grant money. It took me since March 2010, 2 years ago, and 2 months before my high school graduation, to see ANY sign of my financial aid. And I have finally received it.

Today I got a call from a job that I was looking for through a temp agency. The pay and the hours are perfect, but they only called when they had positions open. Now, I was about to be extremely discouraged because I was really reliying on this new job. I hadn't heard any news and I told my mom that I wasn't going to call them back anymore, that I had just given up, but she kept saying "be patient..." but patience has never been my specialty. Today they finally called me with a position open.

So along with the financial aid kicking in AND there finally being a position open for me to accept, I'm very shocked because it's all happening so fast. Also, my mom was right, I need to learn to be more patient, which is something I'm not good at at ALL whatsover.

I am grateful to have doors opening for me this quick- it's a little overwhelming, things like this never happen to me, but as usual I'm just gonna take everything in stride and try not to get my hopes up...I need to be cool.

Worst And Best Case Scenario

Out of boredom, here is a random list of best and worst case scenarios and what I'd do.

What would you do if....

- The world ends in December 2012

I will party like no other, then take a large sleeping pill so I can't feel the effects

- Zombies start to roam the Earth

Find out whats spawning the zombies so I can become one myself, can't beat em, join em!

- You get fired from your job

Get some rest, then find another one.

- You (somehow) wake up one morning and find out you're pregnant

depends. I'd most likely put it up for adoption. Not ready for kids yet.

- Your body catches on fire, you survive, but you suffer from bad burns

live with it. I already know what it's like to be insecure, so...

- A riot breaks out in the city

head to Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, and pick out the most kick ass stuff.

-  You get stranded on a deserted island

Fish for food, build a house, write help on the sand, then die of isolation.

- You find love in a hopeless place

I don't know

- You hit the lottery for a million dollars

Put it all into my savings account, pay for college, get a car, a place to live, and still keep my job (I have a huge fear of running out of money)

-  You have any superpower in the world you want

Invisibility. Oh wait...I already have that.

- You could change everything about your body without plastic surgery

Don't get me started...

- You get your dream job, you rock at it, and you have really good pay

move to the best place for me, and start a good life. Plus I'd make it a priority to go to E3 and ComicCon every year.

- You had a lifetime supply of your favorite snack 

FUCK YEAH! Strawberry cheesecake and Peach cobbler flavored ice cream? PSSHH 

 So the MTV movie awards are probably the only awards show that's really tolerable. I watched it and watched it with all my might and here is what I thought of it.

•  God, Russel Brand...he's so British. His cock & fanny sense of humor is so awkwardly overwhelming for the people in the audience and my family, but being a watcher of lots of UK t.v. it didn't really stun me that much...but a lot of times I did just want to say "OMG STOP"

• Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattenson won best kiss for the 100th time in a row, and they usually do a kiss onstage, but Robert wasn't there. So instead of just walking away and saying thank you, she asked a few people to come up onstage and give her a kiss and I just facepalmed. Guess what happens after that? NOTHING! nobody wanted to give poor Krissy a kiss. Awwww I felt bad, been there- done that.

• JOHNNY FREAKIN' DEPP, man. One of the best actors ever rockin' out with one of the best bands ever, not to mention his speech didn't take forever? OHH love forever and always.

• Joel McHale's explanation on archery. Just like an explosion of diarrhea? Yes. That's exactly what it feels like. I know.

• If the hunger games wins another award I'm really just going to turn the channel. Oh thank God, it was Harry Potter. OK that's cool.

• They're playing a song from TRON:Legacy!!!!!!!! :0:)XD Channing Tatum and Matthew Machonohey (Can't spell) are freaking hilarious. 

• Why do people stand when someone is getting up to accept an award?

•  Go EMMA!!!

• "Oh WOW" in Cassie voice...I thought Magic Mike was one of the guys in LMFAO, that movie looks HAWT.
• Christian Bale crying over Heath Ledger is sweet.
• twilight was the movie of the year again. GOSH bridesmaids kicked ASS! WHAT.

Overall, it was decent. Hopefully in the future Twilight, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games will let the other movies win an award for once.
