Star Wars: The Force Definitely Awoke!!!!

So I just saw Star Wars about 6 hours ago, and boy was it good! And just so everyone knows, this post is spoiler-free and I won't give away anything from the movie. 

As I said I just saw it 6 hours ago, so I may not say everything I want to say about the movie. Now I am very optimistic when it comes to movies(a specially in a theater) and I thought Star Wars was perfect. And almost everyone else agrees with me. It had great action, humor, drama, and romance? Not sure about the last one. There wasn't much of it. Great actors, especially Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac. And the villain Kylo Ren was evil and just how you want a good villain to be. 

Things to know before seeing this movie: Don't read anything on the Internet. DON'T read anything on the Internet. Trust no one. Watch the original trilogy. Get ready for an emotional roller coaster. 

Video Game Wishlist

So about this time of year, a lot of new video games have and will be released. I've compiled a list of the ones I want, and what most excited for and why. So from least to most anticipated, here they are.

5. Assassins Creed Syndicate

This is the latest installment in the AC series and was released two months ago. I personally have only played through 3 and 4, but this one looks awesome. It takes place in 1868 and the game calls it "the tail-end of the industrial revolution". As the player you play as the twins Jacob and Evie Frye. There are a lot of famous characters in the games story line. To name of few: Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, Alexander Graham Bell, and Jack The Ripper.

4. Halo 5 Gaurdians

Now Halo is my favorite shooting-game franchise. And the only reason this game isn't number one, is for a small detail that Bungie left out. The game isn't split-screen. You can't play split-screen at all in the multiplayer! This was a major disappointment to me because Halo is known for its multiplayer. But besides that, the game looks really cool and the Campaign story looks really good. This game came out in September.

3. Skyrim

This game isn't new, it came out in 2011. But I have been wanting it for a while now, because of how good it is. Skyrim is the 5th part of a series called the Elder Scrolls. This is a free-roaming game where you make a lot of player decisions in the story. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills.

2. Fallout 4

Now we've arrived to the top two. It was very hard what game to give the number 1 spot to, but I made a decision. But on to Fallout! My friend gave a pretty good description of this game. He said that it's Skyrim with guns. Which is almost correct. This game is set in a post-apocalyptic Boston in the year 2287, 210 years after a nuclear war. Fallout 4 is an open-world with various quests and objectives for the player to complete. A cool gameplay feature is that you can switch between 1st and 3rd person. It looks awesome.

1. Star Wars Battlefront

Duuuh duuh du du du duuuuh duuuh du du du duuh duuuh du du du duuuuuuuh. Star Wars! In a video game! This game looks amazing just from the trailers. You get to live through the classic battles from the movies and get to be the characters that you love. The release of this game was very thought out. They've already put out a DLC of a battle from the new movie. I'm so excited for this game and it's further releases.

Revenge of the Sith Sucked

I just watched Episode III of Star Wars, and wanted to say how terrible I thought the movie was. And that's exactly how bad it was. It was so bad I felt I had to write a blog about why it was so bad. So here it is in all of my negativity.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith had some of the worst writing, CGI graphics, and acting I've ever seen. Nothing good happened in the movie, only evil. Why would you make a movie knowing it wouldn't have a happy ending at all. Only sadness and hatred were what I felt towards Star Wars after watching III. Hayden Christensen was a great choice to portray Anakin Skywalker, if he could act!! His lines where so cringe worthy and so terrible it really killed all tension and emotion of every scene. There were a few good things that came out of the movie. So I've decided to write those in list form.

1. The soundtrack was great.
2. Minor characters such as Count Doku, Mace Windu, and Yoda.
3. General Grievous
4. Da Wookies

But besides that, the movie was pretty awful. I didn't like how sad it was and how evil it shows the Chancellor/Emperor. The only reason why some people call this movie good is because of the action scenes.

New trailers have happened

So in the past 2 weeks two new trailers for things that I'm excited for have been released. The first one was Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

A strange hand on R2-D2, but come on guys its obviously Luke Skywalker. 

X-Wings flying over a cool looking lake thing.

And the mask of yours truly DARTH VADER!!!!

Now this trailer was so informative on the plot of the movie, that I'm hoping they don't release any more information for the movie until it comes out. This trailer is causing me to make random assumptions on what will happen in the movie. It was a great trailer and really gets you excited for Star Wars again. Here it is below...

Next trailer that was released was for the BBC show Sherlock. Now earlier in the year, it was announced that there was going to be a special for the show in late 2015. This trailer did reveal that the series 4 episode would be realized January 1st, 2016. From what I've heard and seen, this episode will not take place and will not be related to the shows grand plot. But it does have the same characters. You'll get what I mean after you watch this.

Well I'm excited!!!! I will write my opinions on both things after I watch them.

Halloween 2015

Halloween this year will be a very grave day. A very grave day indeed. No pun intended😂.To start off this fabulous holiday, I am going to the special needs dance. This is a Halloween dance for all of the mentally challenged people in Brandon. And according to my Uncle Jon: "We're going to whip nae nae nae nae all night long". After that, I will go to a very popular Fall Festival. For those of you who don't know what a Fall Festival is, it's basically Halloween, except without the word Halloween. Except nothing is scary. And they're mostly held by Baptist churches. Then I'm going to follow my siblings as they trick or treat in my grandparents neighborhood. Then I'll probably be in bed before 10:00. I can't wait.

My 15th Birthday

For my birthday, I want to have all of my friends come to my grandparents house for an awesome weekend of fun. We''ll get there at 6:30 and have calzones for dinner. After dinner we should probably go out on the lake for a little bit. Then I will show them the man cave/arcade next. We will watch a movie that night and eat a really good desert. That night we'll alL sleep in the bunk room. The next day on Saturday we will go to Bob's River Place for most of the day. I want to leave at 8 and get there by 10. Then we''ll stay at Bob's until 4. After that I want to have a back to back movie night. Not sure what it will be. But I'm not sure how Sunday will go down, because Nana and Pop-Pop will be at church. Whatever it is, it's going to be great.

My Mini Portraits

A few weeks ago during school, I came up with a fun game with my siblings. I asked them to give me a guy name and I would draw that persons face. These are all fictional characters completely created by me. Enjoy!

Three Games (Real Ones)

Settlers of Catan is a fun game that I played recently for the first time in a while. I like how it's a strategy game with lots of choices to make. And it's a great game to play with friends. It only takes 10 minutes to set up and 40 minutes to play. So get Catan! And if you get bored of that, there's like four expansions to the original game!

Bonanza is a card game when you grow and sell beans. The first person to make a specific amount of money wins! This is a slightly shorter game with a 2 minute set up and 30 minute game time. I like the trading aspect of the game and the fact that if your not careful you can fall behind in the game.

Monopoly. Everyone knows this game. I just recently played three games in a row with my brother and it was so much fun. Because no matter if your giving money or getting money someone is going to be excited. It really is a shocker that we've had the game since I was born and my family still hasn't lost a piece of the game yet.

Music I currently like

Well my music isn't a topic that I talk strongly about, mostly because my opinion of what is good is changing constantly. But right now, my taste has a wide variety. The format I'll be writing this in is artist then specific songs I'm listening to.

1. Beach Boys. God Only Knows and Good Vibrations

2. Ben Folds: Capable of Anything and Phone in Pool

3. Coldplay: Atlas, 42, and Yellow

4. Weezer: Back to the Shack, Surf Wax America, and My Name is Jonas

5. FIFA 16 Soundtrack

I'm Self Obsessed

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me.

No one is going to read this, 

Except for me.

Throwback Thursday 1

I'm going to start a new series of posts called Throwback Thursday. And I did not invent the term Throwback Thursday.

This first one is a movie throwback. Nacho Libre was a hilarious movie that everyone should recall. If your planning on rewetting a movie, I highly recommend this one.

Now a throwback to a birthday, my 9th. This was a fun party, I had all of my friends there before half of them moved. Now this gif might be hard to process but if you watch it a few times you should see everyone.

The last blast from the past is a video from 3GT. 3GT is a trip I took last summer with all of the men on my moms side of the family. 3GT stands for three generation trip, and we saw a lot of cool stuff. This is a little taste of all of the driving we did. And we drove a lot.

Sherlock Series 4

WARNING SPOILERS! DON'T READ UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN THE WHOLE SHOW!

Now that you've been warned, I can talk freely of this topic. But isn't that the worst? Having any book, movie, or TV Show spoiled?

Now we all know that there is going to be a series 4 of the show Sherlock based on the last episode of S3. (The reason I'm calling them series is because thats what British people call it and it is a British show.) But I just LOVED that cliff hanger!! Let me say that Moriarty is my favorite villain of all time. His mind games and cleverness clearly put him above everyone else. Now we don't know for sure that he is back, it was only a gif of his face that didn't sound like him when it spoke. But the fact that the gif was broadcasted on every screen in the world, and because the only thing it said was"Did you miss me?" makes me believe that this is Moriarty, and he is back from the dead. The only question is, how?!! In the series 2 finale we saw Jim Moriarty clearly shoot himself in the head. And because of this, it's hard too believe that he's actually back. But if Sherlock is clever enough to fake his death, I suppose Moriarty is too. Now there's all kinds of ways he could do this, but the reason I think he faked it was because he was so prepared for the roof scene that he might have had a bigger plan all along. During the two years that Sherlock was in hiding 'destroying' Moriaty's web, I assume that Jim is letting him do this too make Sherlock think that he's completely gone.

Now we don't get to find out what happens in the next episode. BBC has announced a Christmas special to air this December. This episode has all the same cast, writers, and director but it doesn't take place or is related to the current storyline and setting. But whatever is released will be good, and I'm constantly excited for it.

I'm getting Destiny

So you may or may not know about this amazing game Destiny, but it is revolutionary. Activision and Bungie teamed up to make Destiny a first person shooter and adventure game that was released a year ago. They've now released an expansion for the game called The Taken King which is so huge that most people are considering it a sequel to the game. But this is why the game is awesome. You don't have to get a new game to keep up with everybody, you just have to buy expansions. And they aren't required to keep playing online and moving ahead in the game.

So I'm getting this game in a few days (with no expansions) and I'm so excited. I've never been this excited for a video game since Lego Star Wars. I've played through the beginning of the game on someone else's console, and I've come up with the perfect way to describe the game. It's pretty much a mix of Assassins Creed and Halo. Which makes it an instant hit in my books. One thing about this game that is so original is the level of customizing. You can change almost everything. Your clothing, appearance, weapons, vehicles, and armor. And the best thing is, Paul McCartney wrote a song for the game.

That's all I have to say about the game for now. I tried to get to technical with the explanation of this game so that this post wouldn't be boring. Hope you enjoyed it!
