Reporting in, plus Altair is a dick
Oww. My left elbow is wrecked. It’s definitely a UCL injury. It hurts to type. Or scratch myself. Or move my arm while walking. Or, quite frankly, to breathe. I have to ice it three or four times a day and take anti-inflammatories constantly. I suspect I need a hardcore brace, as everything a human does seems to aggravate it, and the more you bug it, the less it heals. This is usually a baseball player’s injury, although it seems to also be common to skiers, small game hunters who wring the necks of their kills and idiots that try to swim too hard before they are physically ready.
I might be the only person in that last group.
At least I know I didn’t tear it through, or one of the parts of it anyway. If I did, my thumb would be flopping and I would likely be crying. All the time. The good news, if there is any, is there’s enough stuff at the gym to keep me exercising. That’s also bad, I suppose, as I don’t have an excuse for staying home and doing nothing. :)
Surprisingly, the things that bugs it the least? Playing Xbox. I’ve been killin ther doodz in Assassin’s Creed all week. Love. That. Game. If you like Splinter Cell (any) and/or Crackdown, you will like it. If you didn’t, stay away, you will hate it.
You play mainly as Altair, an assassin who is a bit of a jerk and needs to redeem himself in the eyes of the Assassin’s Bureau. He’s rude, he’s constantly shoving people, and you can actually get an achievement for hurling the old beggar women to the ground if you do it often enough. Kind of a dick. Great game, though. Long and huge, and for me worth the retail price. Not many games are these days. I’m planning to finish the main storyline then go back and do most side things later...because Mass Effect is out and I don’t know how long I can stay away from that. :)

Barely got into Creed yet, but have it. Looks like fun thus far (interesting angle on story too). Have been overwhelmed with new games… Rock Band eating up a lot of time right now. Played for several hours on Thanksgiving with family… TONS of fun in a group. While my parents and grandparents didn’t care for a lot of the music, even some of them were singing along with songs like Wanted Dead or Alive. :)
Also recently got Mass Effect, CoD4 (finished that, story anyway), Simpsons Game (hilarious, probably avoid if you don’t like the show a lot), Kane and Lynch, Blacksite… uh, and like 2 others. :)
Too many new games out!

Got Creed on Friday night. Haven’t gotten to play too much but am thru two assasinations and am on to Jerusalem.
Game is fun and beautifully done. Stunning Graphics, makes me really wish I had a larger, and HD TV as some of the text is difficult to read on my regular old 27”.
Hoping someone Picks me up COD4 or at least Gift Cards for Christmas. My Father-in-Law can get me all the Microsoft Games I want for $25 but theres only a few of those I actually want…

I haven’t played it too much yet. Only 14 hours so far, but thats because my friend and I have this thing where we put two TVs side by side and play at the same time. Its fun in that we see different ways to get to the same spot, and it helps in seeking out those troublesome flags and Templars. ^.^ Our version is on the PS3 and its been a lot of fun.
That, and Rockband is sweet. I am liking it a lot more than Guitar Hero. And out of the 58 songs in the game, I think only 4 or 5 are covers, meaning the rest are all master tracks. Too cool. ^.^
