I haven't finished it yet so I can't be sure, but one thing is certain: It's the best game I've played in years.

Ubisoft's rendition of the crusades era holy land is the most realistic game world I've ever seen. there are people everywhere...people who are actually doing stuff! beggars will constantly try to stop you and ask you for money, drunks will pick fights with you, and groups of monks will let you blend in with them to sneak past suspicious guards...as long as you help them when they're in need.

the combat is superb. everything from the stealth assassinations with your hidden switchblade to the standard sword fights is flawless. pushing an unsuspecting archer off the roof into the crowded streets below, then watching as civilians crowd around his body is among the most satisfying things I've ever done in a game. enemies can be defeated almost effortlessly if you're any good...but they can kill you just as easily.

in case you were wondering I decided to get the 360 version simply because of the slightly more comfortable controller. :P

Assassin's Creed will be the game of the year. :)

I still don't know which version to buy. 360 or PS3?

Writers strike! Oh noes! D: -

The TV writers have officially started their strike. What does this mean for us? It means our favorite TV shows' fates are in peril. The late night talk shows like Conan, Leno, and even Stewart, and Colbert will be the first to be effected because they are written, and produced the same day that they air. Other shows (like Scrubs) are written months in advance, and have at least few scripts already written. In Scrubs case, the producers are planning on finishing the season with a DVD release if the strike continues. Animated shows will not be effected since they are usually written almost year before they air. I really hope this strike gets settled soon. I don't want to wait for a DVD to come out to see how scrubs ends :(

It's rly cold! -

It's in the low 50s today here in Orlando. and I have to work tonight wearing my tiny lifeguard shorts, and no shoes! :cry:

who in their right mind will be swimming today anyway?!

We have to practice? -

That's right bands have to practice...So that's what we've been doing wrong! :P

Apparently our guitar player has three songs written, and we'll have our first practice sometime this week.

The games are coming -

Call of Duty 4 is out today, Assassin's Creed will be out in a couple weeks, followed closely by Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. It looks like I'll be getting rid of that birthday money before the month is over.

I woke up this morning, and realized that in ten short years I'll be 30! :o

...then I realized that ten short years ago, I was 10... :|

My parents gave me $150, and a book:

:lol:

I also got $200 from my three remaining grandparents.

oh, I almost forgot, the British government sent me an invisible tank!

Wasn't that nice of them... :oops:

I know the world doesn't revolve around me, so I checked Wikipedia, and found the only other person born on Nov. 3rd 1987,

Australian model Gemma Ward:

Everyone be sure to wish her a happy birthday as well :P

I hope someone gave her a sandwich for her birthday...she's really skinny.

anyway, I'll be going out to eat tonight with my family, and I'll update with any additional gifts later :)

***SPOILER***

JD's a daddy! :o

and if it wasn't obvious in last week's episode, it sure was in this one: JD is going to end up with Elliot by the end of the season.

Did anyone catch Laverne's brief cameo? :P

***/SPOILER***

It's starting to get cold here in Florida...It's in the 60's this morning! :o

Sony sent me a demo for the new God of War game for PSP. I had to remove a thick layer of dust from my PSP before I could play it, but basically, I'm impressed. I've never seen a game that translates so well from console to handheld controls. The graphics are also pretty damn good.

Also, my birthday is tomorrow. Get those last minute gift ideas ready! :lol:

It was 9:30. I had just arrived at the last pool of the night. The pool was nearly empty except for three girls. One of them swam over to me and asked how old I was. I said "I'll be 20 in a week." she started laughing, and said that her friend said I was hot. :oops:

They proceeded to ask me random questions for the rest of my shift. The good news is that it made the time go by much faster than usual

...The bad news is, these girls turned out to be thirteen years old :|

Why weren't thirteen year old girls attracted to me when I was thirteen!? :evil: :cry:

***EDIT***

...oh yeah...I got a new Avatar. you like?

The seventh, and final season of scrubs started last night!

***SPOILERS*** (sorry, I can't get the regular spoiler things to work...damn you gamespot!)

I totally didn't see any of that coming. Elliot leaving Keith days before their wedding? They're definitely setting this up for what most fans want: for JD, and Elliot to end up together in the end.

...and the janitor found a "lady" friend! :lol:

...and Snoop Dogg intern is now Snoop Dogg attending! :lol:

...and everybody loves Joe!...even Kelso! :lol:

***/SPOILERS***

in other news, Somewhere in the Between leaked onto the interwebs! :o

I give it an 11.5/10 :P
