Ok, so after much adieu I have finally beat Assassins Creed, and may I say it reminded me back of playing Cruisin USA for my N64, only in that I used every single fucking word there is to call belittle the cars that were on the screen. This game gave me much the same feelings. Now don't get me wrong this was a great game, and if your into RPGs and Twilight Princess you will be no stranger to doing the same thing over and over and over. The only thing that kept me going and doing every single mission in each city was the achievements, some came without trying and others I did because I knew it was how to recieve one. The story...well I have to be honest with you, I listened to podcast after podcast all through this game, I only paused them when I was at the buereu, masayf or a main assassination, other than that its all of the same noised and conversations. Again, itwas a fun game, the assassanations were fun, and the game was pretty failry normal as far as difficulty. The informer missions were ok at first then they got balls ass hard at the end, I am not a big fan of timed shit, and at time when I was going to assissinate someone I would do it and some dorky guard then look at me while I was blending in and say it was me and booom the mission was failed, and I had to do it again. Now that happened alot in the later memories, it pissed me off so much, and the mentally ill guys who walk around and push you, they caused me some missions as well, they pushed me into a guard. The other group that got to me towards the end was the begging women, now I know there was prostitution back there so they should have done that in my mind, I say support your single mothers, but only if they are on the pole. The ending was tedius, much of me cussing and screaming at altair only because his counter would punch a guy and not kill him, it was a toss up, sometimes you would kill him and most of the time you would punch him, it sucked because the fucking guy would get back up and you would have to fight him again, and let me tell you when you have 3 swords coming at you, there is no way to counter them all, I got my ass handed to me many of times, the final boss was not that difficult, I am not going to say who it was but the last person to assissinate before him was so much harder, maybe they put all their thoughts into that one and just said "fuck it" to the last boss and gave him novice skills. The game was beautiful, the cities were vast and with much detail, when I listened to the sound the sound FX was awesome, everything from his knives and sword jingling to the sound as you climbed a wall. All in all I would say play this game but play in sections, if you play it all in one sitting you will find the game extremely repetitive and boring, do a whole cities worth of missions, and then take a break for a little bit. At the end of the game stay for after the credits for one more achievement and the chance to read some emails on the computers, gain access to the conference room and read those emails...and thats about it, there was nothing else to search, the only thing you could do it go back to the animus and get what ever you needed, I still have a bunch of flags to get but maybe another day I will try those.

Umpire: Okay, let's go over the ground rules. You can't leave first until you chug a beer. Any man scoring has to chug a beer. You have to chug a beer at the top of all odd-numbered innings. Oh, and the fourth inning is the beer inning.

Its kinda like Christmas in March....

On Christmas Eve of last year I treated myself to numerous drinks, getting home at 3am with a strong buzz and having to get up at 6am for work at 7am was not the best of ideas, but it happened. Christmas was "fun" for the first couple of hours, pounding water and Gatorade, at the10am mark my headache went away and I was ok.
Last night I treated myself to 4 heffenwizens and a shot of patron, with no water chaser. That was around 8pm, I went back to my girlfriends house, because I went drinking with her brother, and left around 9:30pm. Oh the drive...no double vision, but I was fully aware of my surroundings. I made it home ok and proceeded to take a much deserved pee, I showered and went bed. I woke up promptly at 2am, 3 hours shy of my usual wake up time. I had a diet coke because for some reason that was what I was craving and went back to bed. Now I am not sure if you know this but, nothing is on at 2am. I watched infomercials and the weather channel. I tried to go to sleep but I couldn't, I looked at the clock and it was 3:15, I tossed and turned, and found a re-airing of an earlier Leno, I ended up falling asleep and waking up with a small but effective headache. I got dressed and came to work, on time mind you, and hit the bathroom for what I can expect to be the first of many beer shits. Now I am back at my desk drinking powerade and coffee and feeling a lot better, hopefully the lack of sleep I got last night will help me sleep like a baby tonight

Mission Accomplished
I finally beat F.E.A.R., well I beat it on Saturday, a day later than I expected but thats how it was with that game. I would get stuck at a place and not get past it, turn the game off and come back to it the next day or later that same day and totally own that level, only to get to a new part that I got stuck at. Friday I was stuck at this part that I could not pass, so finally on Saturday, while listening to some podcasts, I beat the level and eventually beat the game. The ending wasn't that much of a surprise, I knew what was going to happen because I played the F.E.A.R. 2 demo, and all the gaming podcasts were talking about it and talking about the end of part one, the one thing I did like it when they are in the helicopter and the girl climbs up, that I did not see coming. I am debating whether go to back to Assasins Creed or Gears of War, in Assasins Creed I am stuck at a part that is optional but I like completing the game 100%, in gears of war I am stuck at the gas station, I am not sure which one to choose.Friday, March 20, 2009

I Got Mine!!!!!
Another Friday the 13th
Another Friday the 13th has come, to all of you that believe in bad luck then just stay home and play a game or hang out online, don't leave your house or something bad will happen. For the rest of us, woo hoo its Friday break out the beers and lets party!!!Let me expand on whey I choose this picture...
I actually had this game, its pissed me off completely. If any of you has ever played the Goonies on NES then you know the concept and controls....I think it was the goonies, actually there were a lot of games that had a room with a door or two and then you just press the d-pad in the direction you wanted to go, they were more of mazes, kinda like the lost woods in Zelda except you really didn't see your character moving, he just appeared in another room with more doors.
Back to the game, I am not sure if it was my age or I was just not good at it, but I could not beat this game. I walked around throwing axes and Jason to keep him away but could not progress, I found kids running around and even used the row boat a couple of times but still nothing. I even went as far as busting out the Game Genie to help me, I had infinate life but still had no idea what to do. All I knew is that the game was only played a handful of times due to me not being able to beat it

Music Soothes the Savage Beast
I was going to name this post "a case of the Mondays", but rumor has it people get their ass kicked for saying things like that.In any case it's Monday, the first day of the work week, for me at the help desk it means morons forgetting their information becase they were off for two days and had a brain fart and only remember how to get to work but not how to do their jobs. I am glad these are not video phones because of two reasons
1. I don't want people to see me yawning or sleeping while they try to make small talk while a PC is rebooting
2. I don't want to see these people in general, if they can't remember a password, who knows what else they have forgotten, make up, brushing their teeth, etc.
The only way to relax me is to listen to music, happy music makes me forget momentarally about the call I am currently on. On less busy days I like to listen to podcasts, mostly video game podcasts from former EGM workers and current 1up workers, all links to these sites can be found in my list of links.

Sushi
Yay, sushi is very good. Well, let me rephrase that, the sushi that I have eaten is very good, I have no eaten all sushi. I like going to either Niko Sushi or Yasai to get my sushi, since my girlfriend does not like it we don't go out to many sushi bars. I, like alot of people, like the California Rolls.I get just the California Rolls at Yasai, but at Niko Sushi the shogun combo comes with the California Rolls and 8 pieces of sushi, which I believe is 2 Tuna, 2 Salmon, 2 albacore and 2 of another type of fish, it is really good.
The only downside to eating this healthy food is the cost, sushi is very expensive, i would probably limit myself to eating it once or twice a week. Hopefull this will help out with both my Lent agreement as well as my diet,
Lent, its just not that stuff in your belly button anymore
1. The movie "Supersize Me", fuck that shit, I hated myself so much after seeing that movie. I felt bad about every burger I have ever eaten.
2. Soda is one of my biggest pleasures, I have to cut it out because it is helping me gain weight, and frankly I would like to have the least amount of help with that as possible.Wednesday, February 25, 2009

How many hours do I really work a week....

Ok, so honestly I was thinking about this today after I read an article that polled IT people and found out they are only working 40% of the week, The rest of the week is online or doing personal stuff. I looked at this and wondered how I fit in this category, seeing I am an IT person at my job, so lets break it down.
Monday - Busy, out of an 8 hour work day, I am off the phones about an hour on breaks and personal walking around and another hour for lunch which does not count, so thats now 7 hours I am logged on the phones taking calls, out of that 7 hours there are times I do not get calls so lets take another hour, on our busiest day, I am only really working 5.5-6 hours
Tuesday - This month I am on a certain duty at job on Tuesdays, which means I log on the phones at 6am and log off from 7am until 3pm when I get off, in those hours I monitor emails that come in and make calls to sites if need be. I am writing right now, and am getting paid for it. On this day I would say I only work about 2-2.5 hours
Wednesday I am off
Thursday and Friday - These are mediocre days, they could be slow or busy, I still take my breaks and personal walk around time, so lets say again5.5-6 hours
Saturday I am off
Sunday - I come in at 2am, do my weekend assignment which lasts me until 3:30, sleep until 7 when the next guy comes in, take a few calls that come in around that time, go to lunch for 30 minutes, come back listen to podcasts or sleep or just goof around online and at 10:30 I go home, all in all I work around 2.5-3 hours on a Sunday
WOW, I only work around 23.5 hours on average a week, on months that I do not do special projects during the week I would say I work around 29 hours a week, which leaves me with 11 hours of being at work doing abolutely nothing productive, I love my job
