orangerful: (omg ponies // orangerful)
We submitted an offer on the house but have heard nothing. Ugh! Hopefully we will hear back tomorrow. Since it's a foreclosure/Fannie Mae, our realtor warned us they might not respond as quickly as a human seller does. IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY THOUGH! I'm not a very patient person as it is so I have literally been staring at my email ALL DAY.

Except for the crazy times at work, which was a good portion of the day what with computer issues and 12 carts worth of returns in the bookdrop. I love long weekends but damn Mondays kick you in the ass after three days off.

I'm playing Assassin's Creed Unity again! Actually made some progress in the story, up to sequence 8 now. I've stopped doing the main storyline for a bit and I'm focusing on getting the hidden items and doing some side quests. ACU's controls are still clunky as hell and I spend a lot of time swearing at Arno because he jumped off of something or didn't take cover when I told him to. They fixed most of the graphics bugs but they can't fix controls that are just shite, which is definitely how I would describe the sword fighting. Luckily, I've gotten a lot better at running away. And now that I'm further into the story, I am HOOKED. I'll deal with a few deaths, just tell me what happens!!

I was highly amused last night when I got up to a certain point in the game and Arno took off his Assassin's hood while talking to his lady friend. It was a gesture of "look, it's just me, your buddy Arno, just regular Arno underneath this hood". Unfortunately, the hood I had equipped also came with a mask, which the program did not remove so he just looked ridiculous:

Arno took off his hood but forgot his mask... #acu #assassinscreed #videogames


Mind you, I did just change his outfit from bright magenta to the blue/gray he has on there so at least he only looked a little ridiculous (as [livejournal.com profile] jellibean loves to point out, this game has an insane number of outfit options for a series that the creators seem to think only appealed to male gamers...).

OH and if anyone is on Xbox One and wants to play ACU with me (or AC:Black Flag, since that is the free game this month) let me know! I get very nervous about playing with strangers on Xbox, even though AC doesn't seem to require a headset/talking during multiplayer.
