Yes, this is long overdue, but I've finally hit my breaking point at my job. So I'm doing the logical thing and will begin hunting for a new one soon. As in, tomorrow. Today I'm doing homework and cleaning and shit so I don't have to worry about it later.

That and I should probably update my resume, which I haven't even looked at since 2008. Last time I thought about finding a 'real' job I was both depressed and put off by the fact that everyone wants a degree. I'm now in school working ...

Now that I've played through the story, I have a much better idea of what Ubisoft was trying to do, obviously. Note that there may be some minor spoilers scattered about so beware. I'll try not to spoil anything major anyway.

Yeah I know, it's been out for several days already. I only just got my copy yesterday. Not my fault. Hurricanes wreak havoc on shipping schedules.

Anyway, hmm, I dunno. I feel like I love the concept of the game but so far the execution (heh) feels oddly flat. I played for several hours yesterday and I actually found myself getting bored at points. I've thought about it for awhile and I think it comes down to a few different things:
