I recommend not playing multiplayer until you have finished the campaign, since the controls can be hard to grasp for players new to the series. I had a blast rolling, shooting, and swinging through the gorgeous maps that Naughty Dog has brought us. The game truly eliminates a “one man army” and promotes teamwork. I found myself moving with my teammates to win matches instead of going lone wolf. The most interesting aspect of the multiplayer…
there was nothing said by the crow. He started to believe it wasn't there anymore. The fox continued on his long journey, he had no true destination, but his pride and egotistical behavior made him believe that he had somewhere to go. There was a swinging feeling on the foxes neck, something hung silently, a small fox that stood proud. A symbol of some sort? The crow was…
Advertising is “the act or practice of calling public attention to one 's product, service, need, etc., especially by paid announcements in newspapers and magazines, over radio or television, on billboards, etc.” (in line reference). This technique has been in existence for thousands of years. Examples of this pre-modern advertising, including murals painted by shop owners, have been found in the ruins of such cities as Pompeii (The OpenLearn Team). Because advertising is very closely related…
The sport softball has been around for years, and it has gained some popularity. The goal of the game is to win obviously, but it’s more then that also. The game is played with nine players on the field and usually around one to two girls sitting on the bench. The girls on the bench are pinch runners or if someone gets hurt they will go in for them, this is most of the time. The players in the field all play and stand at a different position. Starting with out field, the three positions are…

My review will be about the popular video game franchise called Assassin’s Creed. Assassin’s Creed takes you back to the French Revolution, Revolutionary War, Piracy, Slavery, and attacks on Jerusalem and Italy. Many characters in this game were actually included in the time period you come to. I highly recommend you buying this game. Be warned though, it is not appropriate for kids ten and under. This game contains massive violence and harsh language. Make sure to have parent permission…
definition of happiness is superficial. No amount of warmth or love could cure me. Me. 14 years old. Diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder. Unstable. Unwanted. Depression is a dance that I do not know the steps to. It brings me around, swinging and twirling me, but my shivering body does not want to dance. During late nights, it wakes me to waltz to the sounds of my own beating heart and ragged breathing. My shaky hands are not meant for this elegance. Anxiety does not dance with me.…
The American Dream is universally sought after and coveted, after all the possibility of becoming anything and rising above one 's meeger beginnings is tantalizing. However, the American Dream can also produce destruction and devastation. In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald explores the destructive nature of the American Dream through his characters Myrtle, Tom, Gatsby, Daisy, and Wilson and through his symbolic use of dust. Set in the Roaring Twenties, Fitzgerald’s novel focuses on these…
Snapshots for Don. Start of the fun Sue (my wife) and I were sitting in the coffee shop with our long-time friend Liz having our weekly coffee. We usually met up every Thursday evening just to catch up on things with Liz and her husband. Liz was by herself that day because her husband, (Don) was across the world. Don’s job involved him going off for six months at a time and then getting a month off. Don was working as an engineer in the oil patch in northern Russia, and had already worked one…
Retribution, incapacitation, deterrence, rehabilitation and restoration are the five major goals of sentencing. The essence of sentencing is supported by national consensus and penological justifications. Each objective commonly overlaps and successful outcomes include crime reduction, recidivism, and public safety. The principle of retributive justice seeks to punish in proportion according to social attitudes of just deserts, compensation or accountability for criminal acts. Retributive…
