| So yeah, I really haven't had a chance to update because I wanted to get some of my articles ready before starting the change. As you can see, I have Assassin's Creed 2 review up. I really would like a like of criticism on it. Anything too; mistakes, misspelling, grammar, or just being plain retard. Besides the new article, I got movies on the way and gadgets.
Life has been good and I am getting my fat ass back in the gym. I want to become the raging orc again, I want to be that badass in the green shirt making the funny ass work out faces. That was me and you will remember that face because he was so hardcore. Yeah, I really want that title back.
School applications are on the current get that shit down list with my cosplay costumes. I'm going to put my personal writing projects besides the blog on hold for a bit for college applications. I'm really just applying everywhere in Washington. Let's see what happens.

| So this is going to be my first official game review. I will try not to reveal any plot spoilers for those who haven't played the game. I will make some references to the first game and I WILL include spoilers from the 1st game.
So, picking up this 2nd game, I knew it was going to be better than the first one. One reason: The first one was repetitive. I was literally hooked on it because I was wondering if there was more after the second assassination. I wasn't stunned because of what a great game it was, I was stunned that I just did the same thing, but to a different guy at a different place. I loved the who free running, climb buildings and jump off of really high places into a hay stack, but that still didn't change the fact I just did the same thing. I honestly wasn't super disappointed with that either, but more along the lines of the story.
Anyways, when I started the game it basically picks up where you left off. Story continues, tells you why you are doing what your doing and then the introduction of Enzio, our new assassin and it even takes place in a bad ass place, Italy. As I played through and got to play the game for two hours, I already had a better experience than I did with the first. Story was more in-depth, the character showed more personality that you could like or relate to and the history lessons.
With a story that takes place in such a rich history at that time period how could you not tie in famous history with the story. If some of you already know the history of some of the stuff that happens, they alter and explain why this and that happened and how our hero had an effect on it. Random codecs and missions will also have a story behind them. The codec have fun little legends about mythical items through history that many explorors have searched for. Some missions might not have a direct effect on the story you are on, but some do have to do with stuff that did happen in history.
Game play was pretty much like the first one. I honestly believed it was one of the more positive things about the first game. Sometimes, I was doing things I didn't wanna do, but sometimes it was me being a retard. You also have less moving quest, but bigger playground with more creative designs and also remember, the maps were designed to be exactly like places you find in Italy. I really makes me want to go visit after all that free running.
Combat has more stealth involvement and more cool assassin gadgets. Not that you don't ever fight face to face; if anything there's a crap load of combat, but not only a lot more fighting but more weapons to fight with. All weapons don't just have a cosmetic function, but some will do more damage or give you more agility when you fight. I really don't want to talk about the gadgets because they do have to do with the story a lot.
The puzzles, can't forget them. I think this is one of the few games this year that had good challeging puzzles where I would sit there and say "WTF?" Puzzles weren't just game play either, but hints and facts about the ongoing story. I was pretty amazed how they fit the puzzles also into historical events.
Pretty much after the game was over, I was happy to say I want more. And I did get a bit more. Things I didn't finish like achievements and extra, I went back to do just because I really wanted to roam around and see more or what they did do for me. Some did give me extra items in game and made the game more interesting. Not only did the extras and achievements give me more to do, but extra download able content is due out for the game. It's a great things about the download able content will be that it has to do with the rest of the story. I think the only negative thing about that is that people without internet or not playing games online won't get to play it.
On my end note, I was really happy with the game. Honestly, like a 5 out of 5. Great overall improvement from the last game with the story, gameplay, and combat. They did a great job just doing what all sequels should do; improve and make better from the first. Only down side would be just that I will have to get the download able content to see what that is all about, but what game isn't doing patches and extras these days. If there is a single player game you want to play this year, make it Assassin's Creed 2.

| Anyways, I not sick anymore obviously because that was about a month ago. Anyways, I plan to start doing a daily update with video games, movies and food by popular demand. I will obviously still do life and adventure blogs on a normal, but when life is boring I got video games, movies and food to talk about. Currently, right now I really wanted to revamp my blog because I'm going to start going out less or to be more specific, see people a lot less. I wanna spend more time complete my work, getting projects done and working out more. So, I wanted to blog about my life more to let people know I'm fine and I'm doing well or for the people like me but have time to read, have something like an update to my life.
Currently, life right now is pretty good. I have somewhat of two jobs and always busy. I plan to go back to school just for one class at Bellevue College, Spanish 3. I still need to talk to one of my advisers before I sign up since I'm not sure if I can retake it having graduated from the school already. Besides that, I really just need to drag my ass into the gym like I use to. Start on my cosplay projects and get them done within a month at a time. I also have tournaments starting this week. Both Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead. Hopefully we can get the schedule we need to be able to play.

| So yeah, I don't have H1N1 or anything, but I got a really bad sore throat and an ear infection. I kinda haven't been doing anything but playing video games and reading. At least I'm doing something productive. I have recently completed Assassin's Creed and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune last week and picked up Borderlands recently. I currently getting better and WILL get better by the time I take my 2nd trip this year to California. Yeah, I'm going to California again.

| So, this will be pretty much the catch up blog and after that normal shit and whatever wonders my mind. Anyway, My birthday celebration here wasn't as crazy as LA's but it was pretty big. A lot of people. It was nice seeing people and the people who sang me songs and bought me shots. Thank you for not making me feel like I'm just turning another age, but thanks for acknowledging you guys love my existence.
Besides all the partying, I been trying to find a new job. I been running around applying at different places that does some type of sales. I turned down one pretty good job just because I didn't have the option to go back to school next year. I been looking at cell phone sales juts because I want to try something new. It's pretty much a really established market, just gotta know your knowledge. Hopefully, I get a job in the field.
Lately, since I have no job, I been a bum. I really haven't been productive with this blessed time. The only thing I been productive with is playing video games and sleeping a shit load more. It's funny because I'm not even partying or going out as much as I was before and now that I have all the time to do anything I want in the world, I'm wasting it. I think tomorrow I'm going to put myself on a strict schedule with a to do list and see how much I get done with it. I gotta bust out that MMO grinding mentality out. Seriously, MMO farmers get shit done.
