Wishlist Wednesday: Video Game Edition

This week i've been thinking about Gaming a lot, so I thought I would share with you, what is on my gaming wishlist.

• Mario Kart 7 3DS: I know this has been out ages, but I haven't played with my DS in a long time, and I finally picked it back up this week!
• Just Dance 2015: A game that I LOVE to play with my sister and humiliate my boyfriend with, why wouldn't I want this?
• The Lego Movie Game: I loved the movie, so I'm fairly sure I would love the game.
• Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask: I like Mystery Games, and Professor Layton games always have an awesome storyline.
• Assassin's Creed Unity: *Cue line I have said 1 million times already* The Assassin's Creed Series is my absolute favourite, and the only series I have completed in full (except Black Flag which I am currently playing), so this is a must have for me!
• Sunset Overdrive: As soon as I saw the trailer for this game I knew I had to have it. It really reminds me of Mirror's Edge, and even a little of Jet Set Radio Future, which was won of my favourite games when I was a little younger.

Let me know in the comments which video games you are currently loving, or which are on your wishlist!

#BEDM 7: Gadgets...

I am a BIG lover of technology and gadgets... Ever since I was a teenager, I HAD to have a new mobile ever year or so, and I always followed Gadget trends, and begged parents to let me have them...

Since getting my first job, I always let myself have whatever gadgets that I wanted as long as I could afford them. From the latest games consoles, to the smartest laptops... I have to have it!

My newest gadget is my brand new laptop, which I bought after I got my first wages from my full time job, well I technically still have money to pay on it, but the point is, it's shiny and new, and mine.

This beautiful baby is the HP Pavillion 15-n267sa, it's got 8GB RAM and a 1TB Hard drive, perfect for editing my Youtube videos! It's even nicer because I have it in this lovely purple colour, oh and it runs Windows 8! I'll admit that for the first week or so that I had it in my possession I was terrified to use it, because I didn't want to get dirty fingerprints all over it. Obviously I've gotten over that since then, and I'm seriously enjoying my lovely baby!

Other than my laptop I have plenty of other gadgets in my possession, such as my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, which I got just after Christmas! I mainly use it for browsing the internet when I'm in bed in the morning, and reading Kindle books on. I would use it for blogging, but the Blogger app for Android really needs work!

When I was at uni, I was dying for a decent camera to film my video projects! So when I got my student loan in, I was very naughty and purchased my first DSLR. Since then it has helped me kickstart my Youtube channel, and get lots of pretty pictures! Once I've paid off my laptop, my next venture will be trading this in and upgrading. Since starting my Youtube channel, I've realised how ill equipped this camera is for filming Youtube videos. Mainly because I can't see whether I am in focus or not, and Tim isn't always going to be around to focus the camera for me. So I want to upgrade to a camera that has a flip out screen, possibly the 600D, but I haven't made a decision yet.

The one gadget that I could not live without would be my phone... When I was working at Vodafone, the iPhone 5s came out, and I simply couldn't resist it... At the time I was using an iPhone 3GS that I bought second hand off of Ebay. As soon as I had my hands on it I fell in love, I would be totally lost without this beauty. Being able to read my emails on the go, and watch Youtube videos, read blogs, and watch funny vines, all within reach on my mobile phone! It's bloody brilliant... Saying that though, I don't think I will be getting an iPhone the next time I upgrade, which won't be until October 2015!!!!

Finally, my most favourite gadgets of all are my games consoles. I currently own an Xbox 360, and a Nintendo 3DS, oh and not to mention that my boyfriend just bought us an Xbox One for our flat! The graphics on the Xbox One are insane... LITERALLY insane... I've been playing Assassin's Creed Black Flag and I simply cannot get over how amazing the landscapes look, and how well the game mechanics work...

So there we have it, there is a little insight into my favourite gadgets, and trust me it won't stop there! I'll always be craving the next best gadget, console, laptop, or camera. Simply because I can't help myself...

Animal Crossing Diary: Week #1

I was seriously excited when my copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf arrived on Tuesday. It shipped last Thursday and everyday I'd come home hoping that it was there, I had a while to wait but I haven't been disappointed! I thought it would be cool to write these like a diary entry from the point of view of my character, which is called Alyssia, obviously!

Dear Diary,

This week has certainly been a busy one, I've finally moved to Rosebush!

I was pretty surprised to see that everyone in town was at the station to welcome me, it's not every day that people welcome you in such an awesome way. Then I found out they thought that I was the new mayor! I tried to tell them that they had made a mistake, but they seemed pretty happy so I just went along with it! Isabelle, who is my new secretary, took me to the Town Hall and explained my role to me a bit more, and explained that I need to apply for a permit to be mayor. To get the permit, I needed an address, meaning I needed a house. So I was sent off to Nooks Homes, to see to that.

Firstly I had to pick a spot for my new house, so I chose to place it between the river and the ocean, so that I have plenty of options when I want to go fishing! Then until I could afford a down payment, Tom Nook put a tent in it's spot so that I would have somewhere to sleep.

I didn't have any furniture to start with so to be honest it was looking kind of bare. After I had sorted this I dashed back to the Town Hall to see Isabelle, she told me it was time for the tree planting ceremony, to mark my arrival as the new mayor in Rosebush.

Just like that I was officially Mayor! To complete my permit I need an approval rating of 100 percent from the residents of Rosebush, so for now I am working on that, and I've also been enjoying the town.

Catching up on my fishing....

My new duties as mayor....

Visiting the museum....

AND I finally made the down payment on my house, meaning, it could finally get built!

Here it is, my first home that's all my own! With a Blue roof, my favourite colour!

I even had time to enjoy the Summer Solstice yesterday, Isabelle set up this cute photo boothy thingy, and I had fun taking my picture there!

Finally I've just been meeting the townspeople and making new friends! I'm hoping that next week as going to be just as fun as this one!

Fingers Crossed!

Nintendogs Diary #1: Meet Chief!

I got my 3DS a few weeks ago and I'm ashamed to say that I haven't played it as much as I would have liked! Anyway I like that it's a crime if you own a DS and don't own a copy of Nintendogs. Yeah it can get a bit boring, but who can say they genuinely don't think the little dogs and cats are cute! I bought my copy preowned so when I first loaded it there was a rather neglected looking dachshund on the screen, a quick erase of the data and I was ready to go!

The problem I always have with this game is that I never know what breed to choose. I love all breeds of dogs, if it's a dog you can guarantee that I will squeal in joy when I see it! The best thing about this game is they've really worked on the way the dogs look, obviously they are never going to look 100% realistic, but they are much cuter than in the original Nintendogs! Anyway... after half an hour of agonising over all the breeds I settled on a Shiba Inu, which just happens to be one of my favourite breeds!

Ladies and gentlemen... meet Chief! My little (virtual) Shiba Inu puppy! I may not be able to get one of these little beauties in real life, but for now I'll be satisfied with this little guy! Isn't he just the cutest?

He even looks fuzzy, unlike the original nintendogs, which were kind of flat, he looks cute and fuzzy and soft and you just want to cuddle him! Right? I also like that the flooring looks a lot more realistic than it did in the other games. I think the new overall design is so much better!

This is him giving me his 'right paw'. Instead of the original 'Shake' command they now have 'right paw' and 'left paw'. I'm not really sure why, I always thought one paw was sufficient!

I really like this picture, I bought him this collar pretty much as soon as I got him, and I think it makes him look so cute!

I've only been playing with him for a little while, but I'm already in love. Please tell me I'm not the only adult that likes playing Nintendogs? I think it's a good way for me to satisfy my insane craving to own a basically one of every breed of dog! I've only taught him a couple of tricks so far, but I'm hoping that come tomorrow he'll be ready for his first obedience competition!

Please let me know if you enjoyed this post and want to see more posts like these? I am waiting on a delivery of Animal Crossing and already have 4 other bloggers to play that with! I'm thinking of doing an Animal Crossing diary and other general gaming diaries of whatever I play. It's much easier with 3DS games because you can take screen shots pretty much anytime! So watch this space for lots more gaming things!
