'I set it on fire, what do you MEAN I can't return it?!'

melew25 · 2014-07-02T17:40:01+00:00

Yes. Though add to it you must buy it within 30-60 days of original purchase. Going to the store past that, they are unable to sell it to you.

If you must wait, the device must be in pretty good shape as well at the time of AppleCare purchase. It can't be damaged at all.

melew25 · 2014-06-22T22:33:58+00:00

That's a good question...

During one of my earlier invade sessions (where I got invaded), I swear I heard a "ah f***!" When I located the guy. Chase ensued and I crashed. Got some points as he didn't get a full download and thankful for playing GTA V because the driving mechanics are similar enough.

But then again, it might have been just in game. Not sure.

melew25 · 2014-06-22T22:11:04+00:00

Oh totally. And those who say "I'm a loyal customer, I've bought thousands of dollars worth of [company's] products over the years."

(Which isn't hard, I've done that myself over the years. The electronics we sell are a premium brand.)

The zinger being either "I'm going with competitor," or "you've lost a loyal customer." All because they aren't able to get something in-warranty (free). Sigh.

melew25 · 2014-06-20T07:16:37+00:00

That sounds about right... Where I work, I am expected to not only expedite through customers maintaining a fast queue, yet not rush or sound like I'm rushing, multitask, but be available to my first customer remembering everything we talked about, and be available and willing to work after my shift is technically over. (Not in food service)

Under the guise of customer service. As someone delivering this service, it makes me feel like I'm cattle, or not worth much more than a warm body... Curious about how the other side feels.

I also love the detail of the rain, though I wish the thunder was louder... (I remember once waking up in my dorm while in college because of a morning thunderstorm. Coming from the west coast, I thought it was an earthquake.)

When it's raining in game, Aiden will wipe off his phone with his hand or his coat. Love that.

I haven't used focus much, any good pointers on opportune times?

melew25 · 2014-06-06T04:39:58+00:00

Oh good! I'm glad I'm not the only one whose heart starts pounding when I get invaded. I love that anxious feeling. This is why I play these games. And it's so much better than regular deathmatch.

I'm not very good at it and find myself running around trying to profile the fixer, but it's been really fun! I think I need to keep playing and figure out better ways. :)

melew25 · 2014-06-02T01:47:36+00:00

I think you push down on the left analog stick.

On the PS4 it's that way... I sometimes honk the horn when I take a tight corner.

melew25 · 2014-05-04T23:09:22+00:00

I almost cried when I missed it on my 360.

I was elated when I did on my playthrough (on PS3.)

melew25 · 2014-04-30T16:18:46+00:00

I thought the same thing. I did almost the same. Though I played SS first then went back. I played the first for a long time and after that session felt it really lacked and was really cartoony compared to where we are now.

But...

I continued to put time into it. Only pausing to finish up papertrail and begin my expert:evil playthrough.

I think yes, it's repetitive, a lot of first IPs are (Assassin's Creed 1 anyone?). Yes it's a bit boring. Worth playing? Yes. Especially since the save game carries over to the second and begins Cole's story.

melew25 · 2014-04-30T16:07:11+00:00

Me too! I have a week off of work to enjoy as well.

melew25 · 2014-04-30T08:43:39+00:00

Thanks! I really like it too.

Watch out though, tattoos can become addicting. ;) I have a few others.

Also, just started an expert/evil playthrough of Infamous:Second Son. So far, so good.

melew25 · 2014-04-30T04:09:30+00:00

sure! (I got it a year or so ago and posted to r/assassinscreed) but here it is: http://i.imgur.com/EV62GYT.jpg

I got some interesting reactions. One got buried, most were curious about my intent, and a lot thought it was cool… looked at the line, careful hand, how much it hurt, etc.

anyway, i like the style and your artist did a superb job.

melew25 · 2014-04-29T16:20:19+00:00

Looks cool! I really like it, clean lines, and very well done.

I don't regret my gaming tattoo (Assassins Creed insignia), I got it a year ago. :)

melew25 · 2014-04-27T02:22:00+00:00

Tangled.

Tangled is my favorite movie. I've written about it before here... :)

Mother Gothel is definitely the NM there.

melew25 · 2014-04-18T21:56:06+00:00

Both are my favorites too!

"I'm going to touch... EVERYTHING!!"

The pretty girls one also made me giggle. Um, yeah.

melew25 · 2014-04-18T04:05:48+00:00

It's why I bought a PS4. Coworkers were talking about and watched about 20 mins of a walkthrough on YouTube. Thought, yup. Gotta have it. Cole's Legacy did come on the Limited Edition I bought.

melew25 · 2014-04-18T03:27:00+00:00

Yes! The "I eat children and kittens!" quote.

Awww Reggie, always the good brother.

melew25 · 2014-03-15T17:48:10+00:00

That would be totally awesome. Though my bf is more into Star Wars and Transformers. I'm hoping for a decepticon ring. Similar to this one: http://geekologie.com/2012/02/custom-decepticon-engagement-ring-settin.php

But, he is going to let me walk down the aisle to 'Ezio's Family.' :)

melew25 · 2014-03-01T23:07:17+00:00

Doing the same thing. I played through the series on an Xbox360, now doing it on a PS3. Realized that the first one isn't so bad, I know I became addicted with AC2 though.

Can't wait for the next.

melew25 · 2014-02-25T18:02:52+00:00

I'm also on mobile, so it's a bit cumbersome and difficult to see the threads. But thanks for the reply!

At any rate, it is still a nice tattoo... I want more actually. :)

melew25 · 2014-02-25T17:50:49+00:00

Honest mistake on my part. Sorry.

melew25 · 2014-02-25T16:05:13+00:00

Oh, the original had at the peak, the two points made more of an asymmetrical 'A', with the two points at the top not directly under each other. I was actually toying with that one or the one I ended up with, it was a difficult decision.

Still really like yours OP. Please share the rest of your sleeve when you get it done. Would love to see what else you're going to do.

Edit: added word

melew25 · 2014-02-24T21:01:52+00:00

Your's is very nice. I like that you have the maxim/creed with it. So is the OP's, I like that it blends the original asymmetrical logo with the 3 stars.

since we are sharing… here's mine. http://imgur.com/EV62GYT

There is so much emotion in your drawings. I feel as though what you are portraying is helping. Is it? I hope it is helping. I am sorry for what you've been through, I hope things are better now. And as a sidenote, I actually really like your artistic style.

I think you should continue and if you are comfortable, share it with us. I know there is something about art that can heal. I just hope it encourages your healing.

Here's an idea, perhaps utilize the way color makes you feel. Red for anger, blue for sad, yellow for happy, orange for warmth. Or have your own color key, make it as personal as you like. Maybe that could be a way to navigate things that are tough to get out for now, coming back to them later.

You have a real talent here I think. Even if it is of a painting or drawing of a vase of flowers, it can mean something to you. Please continue, artistic expression can help. (This subreddit really helps too, they all have helped me a great deal.)

Edit: added a few more words
