Assassin’s Creed Hype
posted by Amanda Veronica
If you know me, you know I love the Assassins Creed franchise. So much so that I’m working on a design for an Assassin’s Creed themed tattoo (I will post about this later subscribe to the RSS Feed for updates). Social marketing is here to stay, and with the latest campaign by Ubisoft, with the release of the new Assassin’s Creed III game play trailer

Achievement Unlocked 1000/1000
posted by Amanda Veronica
I recently completed my first play through of Assassin’s Creed 2, finishing with a gamer score of 1000 out of 1000. I collected every feather, completed every DNA sequence, picked every pocket and purchased every weapon. I’ve watched Kent in all his ridiculousness of trying to get every achievement in every game he plays. It’s something else. I used to think he was crazy, but now that I’ve done it, I kind of get it. It’s like completing any challenge, you set out to do something to reach that feeling of completion, and it’s a good one. Though I can’t imagine doing it with every game I play, it means...
Best Fireworks: 4th of July
posted by Amanda Veronica
This is how we do 4th of July. Morton Grove, IL, the best Firework show I have ever seen. You get to sit so close and the quality is always way over the top and the speaker system is horrible in an awesome way. And every year we get to hear, “We’re Coming to America,” Neil Diamond…. Every year. If I can get Kent to get on top of it, I’ll post a video we have also.

I don’t have the best memory when it comes to recalling movies, but I do remember what I love and what I hate. I know I have seen 1 or 2 or the previous Resident Evil movies, but I don’t remember much about them, meaning I didn’t love or hate them. This rendition defiantly...
