Assassins Creed: Revelations

The series of Assassins Creed has brought a whole new feel of the renaissance era! ACR is the 4th volume added to this gaming series and it is quite fantastic! In the beginning of the game you start off with a cut scene. The graphics are magnificent! They look extremely realistic, and it took my breath away. All AC games have had good game play and graphics. During the beginning of the game you're already in the Animus chair the whole entire game but you end up in this place called Animus Island! Animus Island is a place where you have the main story lines, and separate missions called Desmond missions. Desmond has always been the main character of AC games. Once you arrive at Animus Island you don't know why, or how you ended up there. It's quite a mystery, but you're not alone on the island. You're joined by a friend and throughout the story he will explain things to you. Pieces of the puzzle will be put together and you'll soon understand. Moving on, you start ACR as Ezio once again but you're much older! When you begin the game you're traveling to a new "world" It's called Constinalope! You arrive on a boat with your new mate! (but you don't know that he's a friend yet) and a beautiful librarian! You all do not know each other yet but you will shortly. Once you arrive to the new city, Yusuf will begin to show you around! He takes you to the Assassins HQ, and you meet the new members. Once there you have a chance to examine your weapons, and armor you already have on. The weapons in this game are far different than AC: Brotherhood. They are more advanced and have more of a Indian design to it. One you wonder around the city and finish some missions for certain people you will begin your own journey. You have to find the Masyaf keys! The Masyaf keys are what brings flash backs to Altair's world. Altair is Ezio's father, and he is an elite assassin! Altair passed away a long time before Ezio was born, so Ezio never knew him but he must follow in the footsteps of being an assassin. A very important part happens in the game were you earn a hook blade. The hook blade allows you to jump long distance and grab onto something so you do not fall. It also allows you to kill enemies as well. Another advancement made to this game is fast travel, you can take a boat to the other side of the city, and there are zip lines to take you to one building to the other. Unfortunately there are no horses in this game which disappointed me greatly! Just a warning to people who like long games, ACR is not that much of a long game at all! It was pretty short, and the ending was a continuation so there is definitely going to be another AC game coming out! I am super excited, and I can't wait for what they have in store! 

My overall rating for this game is a: 8 

It's a must buy for lovers of AC!

Home's Personal Spaces

Recently I have been REALLY excited for new personal spaces to come out on Home. Why? Because they are becoming bigger and better! I've purchased about 10 new personal spaces, and I love them all! The reason I am writing this blog is because I used to not care for the personal spaces in Home. I always said to myself, "what's the point of having a personal space if none of your friends ever came over?". I finally purchased a personal space, and my friends still didn't come over. Was it my decorating? Or is it just an out of date space I purchased? While I was purchasing furniture items, it became really expensive. I have always been more into the clothing items on Home, so I rather waste my money on that. Shortly after spending about $50 bucks on furniture on Home, I started to decorate the Playground Apartment I purchased. I have always been big on realistic spaces on Home. The Playground Apartment definitely had a realistic touch, and a very nice warm setting. It wasn't very big, but it was big enough for me! While I was decorating, I was actually enjoying it even after all the money I had spent. It was fun putting my own furniture creativity into a space, and I really enjoyed it. After I decorated the Playground Apartment, I bought another space. I purchased LOOT's Sunset Yacht specifically for LOOT EOD, and to have a nice party boat. I decorated that, with more of a party look to it. Once the Dream Yacht came out everyone was talking about it, and I kept wondering if I should buy it too. The Dream Yacht was $10 dollars, I was shocked but I guess it's worth it and it SO is! I bought the Dream Yacht a couple of days ago and it took me hours to decorate and it was worth it. I had a lot of fun and it looks very classy! I even added a glitch to push me over the a secret beach, which made the boat even more enjoyable. Friends have been coming over to my Yacht and having fun with my fireworks set up. To sum everything up, the personal spaces are becoming WAY better. They are becoming bigger, and adding real time music and movies. What more could you ask for?

Labels in Home

Labels are a big issue going on now a days, in real life, and over the internet. In all my years of Home, I was surrounded by them. I am a teenager so it was always a dramatic topic that always had to come up. I've mostly been called "emo" and "scene" due to the music I listen to. I feel as if even though you may listen to the music that fits those labels, that doesn't always mean you consider yourself it. I once did consider myself "scene" before I even knew what a label was, and once I found out I didn't want to be it. Being at young age in Home has always been difficult. There was always certain groups who just didn't want teenagers with them. We call this a "clique" a clique is a self made group of a person who labels them selves, and they do everything together. You have the "Emo's", "Goth's", "Skaters", "Gangsters" etc. Everything you can think of is associated into a click, no matter where you find it. Cliques can be found on virtual worlds and in real life. It's just like High school movies from the 80's, no body wanted to be friends with the nerdy kid. Things have changed over the years, introducing new styles into the picture which formed new cliques, and new labels. Hate crimes come into play, when people like to say mean things about another group. For example, if you were gay and someone didn't like it and decided to have their group of friends say something to you it's considered a hate crime. It's not right to pick on some body, but in the 21'st century it really don't matter anymore it's going to happen anyways. As I was saying before, I have always been considered an immature child on Playstation Home. I never really liked being a group of teenagers because I just didn't feel as if it was the right place for me. After being shot down by so many groups, I decided to try and fit in with the teenagers. I started dressing their styles and playing what they would play. Drama was always around, and stress started to build up and I really couldn't handle it anymore. I remember when I turned 14, I swore a miracle happened. I was talking to people 5 years old than me, and I finally found people to be around that I enjoyed. I started glitching for a couple months, but I really never became good at it. I liked the feeling of being able to do goals and feeling achievement when I finally figured out the glitch. However, glitching became quite boring after awhile when everything was getting patched and all the good glitchers started to fall. Once that happened I never considered myself a glitcher anymore, and stopped it completely. I became more worried about the clothes I was wearing, and how my avatar looked. I really enjoyed shopping around and wearing all the new outfits that came out every Thursday. In reality, I don't have much clothes and I would probably never pursue into becoming a fashion designer or anything at all that has to do with the fashion world. I do love fashion though, and I love seeing how beautiful people look when they wear it. I decided to be more involved with events in Home, and meet new people. It took me awhile to be in fashion shows, and meet designers and all but I am there now. I have met so many new people, where there is no labels you just express yourself. I love the feeling of being able to express myself, and people accepting me.

Saints Row review

Ahh, Saints Row the fun ass game everyone loves to play! Through the development of this game, I wasn't sure from the beginning if it was just going to be like another Grand Theft Auto knock off. Turns out, it became something totally different, a great game! Starting with Saints Row 1, the customization options were very limited, but the story was good. However, Saints Row 2 came into play, were customization was a bigger addition to the game. I've recently just beat Saints Row 2 and have not yet obtained Saints Row: The Third. This is going to be a review about the game in general, and the developers. The game is quite raw, and there is no innocence seen. Gangs from each side of the cities included in Saints Row go for an all out brawl to take over the city, and become the so called "owners" of it. The first that came to mind when I started playing Saints Row 2 (skipped Saints Row 1 because no money) is that it was highly inappropriate for my age. Cursing was a huge deal, it was getting thrown around like no body in the world cared for such provocative language. I was even surprised to hear the "N" word come into play! I would think that in Grand Theft Auto that would happen, but I guess not. It shocked me when I first heard it, because some people could take is very offensively, or think of it just being a game with a gang. I did not take it offensively, I just thought of it as highly inappropriate. The game was rated M for mature, so there is cautions when buying games like Saints Row and Grand Theft Auto. I received Saints Row 2 for free, only for one reason. My boyfriend purchased Saints Row: The Third, and it came with a free download of Saints Row 2, so of course I took up the offer. I have yet to get Saints Row: The Third.. hopefully for Christmas! Coming into the developers scene, I wonder how they felt about adding such foul language I decided to search around Google, but I could not find anything. I'm sure they probably didn't care much, because it is a game based on gangs and gangs are potty mouths. As I searched around I stumbled upon Saints Row: The Third on Wikipedia, and scrolled all the way to the bottom. I saw that Saints Row 4 is already in process, but there is no set release date for it yet. I haven't even put my hands on Saints Row 3, and they are talking Saints Row 4 already! Ugh! Give me some time! Haha. Overall, I give Saints Row a 10/10, for it's great game play, customization, and not ever getting bored with it.  

Home's Next Top Model!

I'd like to start off this post, by thanking Boo and her husband Rudy! You guys are amazing, and gave me so many things to be grateful for! For the past month now I was in a fashion show called "Home's Next Top Models". It sure was a great experience for new models who are trying to make it big in "Homewood"! I had the pleasure of being apart of this fantastic show, as a model. I met many wonderful woman, including men too! The 3 lovely ladies above is me in the middle (XxCuteCupcakexX), on the right it is the founder of Home's Next Top Models (BooBoo92173) and on the left is the designer (tbaby2008)! Lovely ladies, huh? I think I am! Anyways, to talk about the fashion going on through the shows which were every Friday at 8 PM Eastern Time (for me) it was wonderful! Boo came up with so many ideas, and she was so cute! Every theme Boo came up with became quite a challenge, trying to make sure you had every right piece to satisfy the judges was tough! The girls did wonderful with all their outfits, some girls had bit of trouble however they did pull through! I had so much confidence, even though I kept losing. The losing was getting to me, and just like everyone else.. people have feelings. Sure, I was totally upset by it, but I was still happy at the same time that I get to participate in such an amazing show with amazing people! I made new friends, and some became my own very sisters! Anyways, back to the fashion and no longer the ranting.. shopping for the right items to pull off the theme was quite difficult. There was only designer, and she had to help each and every one of us! Saying that, she didn't always get to every one, and sometimes some one can end up with the same thing! You have to be creative, and WOW the judges! I of course tried my best to do that, but it was very tough. The girls had the passion for fashion that's for sure! So, as the show went on I became more mature than usual, I was on top of everything. I made sure I met with the designer as quick as possible, and always had my outfits, my walk, and my poses ready. As I became closer to the girls, and guys in the show I felt very comfortable to be there. We were all new to modeling and it was a long road ahead to achieve our dreams in PSHome, but we're getting there one step at a time. Eventually, I won the last show and I got the prize of $40 bucks! Woo, shopping spree! Thank you Rudy, and Boo for being amazing people! Trisha, thank you so much for always being there for me, outside of the show, and inside of the show! And to every one else, you all looked beautiful on the stage and I wish you best of luck next time!

Boy problems

To start off my love life on Playstation Network, I have to start from the beginning. I was still new to Home, and I was not looking for any relationship. I was afraid that I could get in trouble by my parents, or even get hurt so I kept my distance from those sorts of problems. About a couple months into playing Home I was able to buy clothes and make friends. One of my 1st friends was named Ron, he was a really nice guy and he was 17 or 18. I was about 13 (almost 13 possibly) and I didn't really understand him much. We talked a lot and always kept in contact when I was online, it was a daily thing. This went on for about a month or 2. Suddenly, my own MOM wanted to try out Playstation Home and she told me I couldn't use it anymore because it was inappropriate for my age. I tried to tell her I ignored the weird people and would usually run away, but she still took it away. I had no contact with Ron from then on. I did get upset because he was becoming a very good friend to me, and I didn't want him to think I died or something! During the time period I wasn't allowed on PSN at all, then a while later I was able to get back into the game! I got online and messaged Ron as quick as I could, and he was sure happy to see me back. I was so glad he didn't delete me off his list! Finally being back on PSN made me so happy, I even started sneaking on Home! I sneaked on when no one was around, and hung out with Ron. However, Ron began developing feelings for me. I felt really awkward because he was really old, and I was young so I stayed away from him a little more often. I made myself clear that I was not interested, and I could get into a lot of trouble. I probably ended up hurting Ron's heart, and of course I still think about it (he was really nice). As months go by, I meet my friend German Brot, now he had a German name and it is hard to remember it. We hung out every single day, and sometimes Ron would tag along. German Brot was in his 20's and he was really chill, and so was I so we got along great! One day, Brot took invited me to go with him to some party at his friends house. Of course I joined him, and we were on our way to the Ghostbusters Apartment space. We arrived there and I met all of Brot's friends, I was super excited (at this time period I was still sneaking on Home). Apparently I was one of the young ones at the party (of course) but some other boy was the same age as me. We started talking a lot during the party, and the other people were making fun of us! They kept calling us adorable, and that we should go out! I just met this kid, why would I date him already! I was thinking in the back of my mind.. I could get into a lot of trouble by my mom if she ever found out. I sent the boy a friend request, and we have been friends ever since. I started focusing on this boy more than Ron, and we became interested in each other. I was starting to understand boys more, and I really liked this boy (zim). We were always together, and we always had fun! Then one day, he sent me a message and asked me if I wanted to date him. Of course I responded with yes! Our relationship lasted for 6 - 7 months. I was able to use Playstation Home in the middle of our relationship. I fell in love with Zim, and we had a really good relationship but not everything lasts forever. I started to become lonely, and realize we won't ever meet. I live in New Jersey, he is in Georgia. How is this going to work out? I asked myself. Our relationship slowly started to fall apart. I liked other people, and I made a couple mistakes. So we ended our relationship when I was having problems of my own. The problems I was having was.. I was falling in love with someone else. I was 13, and almost going to be 14. He was 17, and he was super adorable. His name is Ryan, and he lives in Delaware. Delaware isn't that far away from me, so knowing I wouldn't be lonely and that some day we could meet brought up my confidence (just to bring some light into this, I was talking to Ryan while dating "Zim"). I knew I was falling in love with him, we had so many things in common. The first time I heard his voice it was like angels singing in heaven, telling my heart to let Ryan know I love him. So I built up the confidence and I let it all out! Ends up, Ryan loved me too. Ever since that day we've been going strong. So far it has been almost 2 years since we've been going out, and we recently met in person. I am now 15, and Ryan is now 19 (don't worry I have parents consent). He's the best things that has ever happened to me, and even though boys may be difficult they sure can bring some light into your life. 

How it all started

I've always wondered what it would be like to become apart of a virtual community. Playstation 3's across the world were being sold, and I wanted one! I set out on a mission to obtain this magical console and I did! I was surprised with a big brand new 45" flat screen Vizio t.v and boy was I stunned! I couldn't wait to get on and see all the wonders of Playstation Network, until I was told I wasn't allowed online!! At the time I was about 12 - 13 years old.. (I don't remember) and I wasn't quite sure about what might be going on in online communities. My mother was cautious, very cautious. Soon enough, my mother gave in a let me get online and I was a very happy little girl. While joining Playstation Network, I wasn't quite sure how email's worked so I ended up using my stepdad's account. The account name was a bit dumb, and I didn't enjoy it much, but I was still super happy (The account name was angelc1982). I looked all around Playstation Network, trying to figure these things out one by one, and I came across the Playstation Store. I was hearing about this brand new virtual community coming out called Playstation Home. I was a bit confused but intrigued. I waited until the beta came out (of course I had no idea what the beta was back then, so I treated it as if it was the actual thing) and I was like a kid sugar coated with candy. I logged onto Home and saw all these people standing in this odd.. odd order. We were all mushed together as one, as I loaded in Central Plaza. I took a look at my outfit and I was wondering why I was a man. So I quickly started pressing a lot of buttons on my controller hoping no one saw me as a man and hit wardrobe (by accident). I figured out how to switch genders and made my own pretty little avatar on Playstation Home. About 5 - 10 minutes later I was born. My avatar was finally what I wanted it to be and I was so happy! I started walking around Central Plaza and ran into this guy (who was humping a tree while doing running man emote) and I asked him what is this. He told me it all, and my mind was full of confusion so I slowly walked away from the tree huger and continued my adventure. I searched all around and a lot of boys were trying to talk to me and I was getting a bit frightened. I quickly logged out of Home and out of Playstation Network. I'm sorry, but the people were scaring me. Therefore, this is how I became "XxCuteCupcake" on Home. Hope you enjoyed.
