I've been quite busy lately. Since I last posted, I've finished both Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed II. Awesome games, the both of them. I actually did a lot more work on the second one. The first one doesn't really have any sort of economy. Actually, there's no money, at all. So you can't buy or sell anything, and there's no money management to worry about. Almost a relief, in a way, but it's a huge chunk of missing gameplay that I normally do fuss over a fair bit. And the only collecting is the 350 or so flags scattered about, and you know what? I'm not that crazy. So I pretty much just did the mainline story and moved on to the second game. Which is where things got a lot more complex. An in-game economy! Options in weaponry! Collections I could actually do! Plus, the story is, I'm pretty sure, longer. So I've finished the storyline, collected all the weapons, armor, and artwork, completed the assassin's tomb, totally upgraded Ezio's hometown, gotten all the codex pages (a must, you can't finish the game until you do) *and* gotten all 100 lousy stinking feathers. And except for the moment when I realized that I had to track down 7 feathers that I thought I'd already gotten, I loved every second. Now I just have to wait for Assassin's Creed III. Sigh. Anyways, I'll start playing Oblivion after the New Year, since I'm going out of town for a few weeks for the holidays.

I also got a new doll! My best friend and I exchanged BJDs for Christmas. I gave her a Brownie, and she got me a Resin Soul Bei. She's gorgeous, but now the hard work of customizing her begins. She needs a wig, new eyes, clothes, and a new faceup. I'm actually going to try and do this faceup myself, believe it or not. Anyways, her name is Cornelia, and when she's fit to be seen I'll take some pictures of her.

OOOOOOH, Bei!!!! You are so lucky. I need one one day - I love my Isabella so, so much. Her size is so perfect to dress and play with. Cornelia is an awesome name.

My husband loves Assassin's Creed (both of them) :)

I think he has good taste. *G*

Cornelia is actually playing to type, sort of: she's an enchanted marionette, modeled after a character from Shadow Hearts II. I'll be giving her a makeover so she looks more like her, but that won't be hard. Bei is astonishingly close to the original Cornelia by default. She just needs a golden blonde wig, bright blue eyes, and redder lips.
