The Champion's Beginning Gets COVER ART

Today, The Champion's Beginning, my Fanfiction, got cover art! It's about time, too!

Alright, the big thanks goes out to my great friend SNR. She's an artist who will be doing all my cover art for every story. This art is owned and copyrighted, so you cannot steal. That being said, let's take a look at the evolution of TCB.

This is the original 'art' I had. My awesome hand writing and a few crappy stars. Yeah. Moving on...

This is the original drawn version. SNR did a fantastic job, in my opinion.

And this is the final. The amazingness. If this story was published, this would be on the cover. Very well done.

And now, for the story of what happened to these guys.

Well...Heh. When I got them, I drove back to my place, and I forgot that I had them on the seat with me, so I opened my car door and got out...And then shut the door. Guess what was shut IN the door? Yeah. My pictures. Why does this stuff only happen to me!?

Read The Champion's Beginning on Fanfiction. Summery: Cynthia left her small town to go on a journey much bigger than herself, to become the Sinnoh League Champion. Now with sudden attacks on towns, rumors of rebellion and a horrible current champion who's hunting something, she has Sinnoh resting on her shoulders. When all hope is lost, Cynthia will attempt to save this desperate region. Rated T for violence and dark themes.

GameLog: Assassins Creed, I

*May contain spoilers 

This past weekend, I treated myself to the game Assassins Creed, the first one. Since three looks like magic, I wanted to play the first (and not expensive one) one first to see if I like the game. And so, I decided to make a GameLog of this as well. Let us begin!

When you first start out, the story-line is quite confusing, but you get the jist. Your character was born an assassin, left the 'farm', and all of his ancestors are assassins. There's a machine that can access your ancestors memories and let you relive them (Or watch them, I guess?) and that's the game. I think your character is watching these memories, but YOU are playing the game.

I'm currently on the first ancestor. It is set in about medieval times, so it's kind of cool going through Jerusalem and such. (Being a Christian since[Basically, but not really] birth, I know of all these Biblical towns.) It's really cool, because you can do many things, like climb walls and jump on all these things and run from people and hide in haystacks, ya know, all these things you wish you could do in real life, but it's also sort of dumb.

For example: It's a bit hard to navigate through towns, then again I'm still new to the game, and it's hard to know exactly what you're doing and what mission you're on. Again, I'm still new, and this will probably go away with time.

The game is rated M, which isn't the best thing in the world, but it's rated M for mild language (As in D's, H's, and those little things.) and blood. And, obviously, violence. It's actually quite funny, and I started laughing at this, in one scene, one of the dudes thrusts a dagger into another dude, and the blood shoots out like a sprinkler. I died laughing. It was like, slice, shower head of blood comes on.

But, all in all, I'm excited for this game, and I hope I like it enough to get into the series. Wish me luck, though, because I keep getting lost. Damascus, where the heck are you??!!!

GameLog: Kingdom Hearts 3D

*May contain spoilers. I want to take you all on my KH: 3D journey, so every once in a while I'll write up a GameLog. Here's the first one...Let's see how this goes. 

The Story of The Fruit Salad

Hello there! Currently, I am not too far in the game. I've been so dern busy I haven't had the time for anything. I've gotten past the very first level, which was Traverse Town, and I got to choose another world from three world. New Tron world, Pinocchio world, and Hunch Back of Notre Dame world. I, thinking that those three worlds were the same fighting level, chose Pranksters Paradise, aka Pinocchio.

...That's where everything went in the toilet. At first I played as Riku (For those who don't know, in KH 3D you get to play Riku and Sora in the same 'world,' but in different dimensions, so to speak. So they're not together, but you don't do the same thing in both 'sides.') in Pranksters Paradise, and he's stronger then Sora (Plus he has stronger Dream Eaters) so I thought I would just breeze through the world. WRONG. I kept dying, and dying, and I DIED so much I got mad at the game and went on strike! I was thinking "This is just the beginning, how am I not where I'm supposed to be?!!"

Now, when I say I died so much, I mean that when ANY opponent came near me and started attacking, I couldn't beat it. So I would die and I wouldn't even go up in levels. I ran from every opponent just trying to get through the level! (Of course, that didn't help me get through the level.)

You're probably saying, "Pure Gamer, why the heck didn't you just go to another world?!" And the answer is: I'm a few plumbs short of a fruit salad.

Actually, I was afraid that if I changed worlds it would mess it up, because since there are two characters and two story-lines (Which they only make sense if you're in the same world, because all-in-all you need both to understand) both need to be in the world. But, I couldn't take it anymore, and decided I would get Riku and Sora to another world.

So I go to the save point. I go to the map. I look at the three worlds again and guess what...They weren't the same level. Not at all. Pranksters Paradise was a combat level EIGHTEEN and Tron was level TWELVE, and Notre Dame was level EIGHT.

Now, I am breezing through wonderful Notre Dame, where everyone happy (Except Riku, he's never happy) and I'm helping Quazzi Modo come out of his shell and watching him and Esmeralda fall in love, and I'm very pleased.

So the moral of the story is: Don't be a few plumbs short of a fruit salad. DO NOT go to Pranksters Paradise first.

The End
