Hey Gamer! So, we just got an awesome trailer for Fallout 4’s final DLC (dropping August 30th) and I could not be more excited to finally play through this content. How awesome is it going to be to adventure through a Nuka-Cola theme park? I can’t wait to find out what this DLC has in store for us. Let's jump right into the anlysis. The first thing I noticed was that it was in true, classic Bethesda style; they’ve combined something bright and happy with a dark and sinister, dangerous vibe. This is part of what I love about the Fallout world, I am so happy with the aesthetic and mood that this trailer has shown us. You can see that Nuka-World would have been an awesome place, filled to the brim with happy families and park goers before the war. Now it's a serious bad-land where raiders and mutated animals will attack you at every turn, there are weapons and dangers as far as the eye can see. As far as visuals go, I was also really enjoying all the Nuka-Cola themed decorations. Not to mention the Nuka Quantum River and the fantastic Nuka theme Mr. Handys and Protectrons. Speaking of Nuka themed stuff, we get a glimpse of the awesome Nuka Cola Power Armor, which I can’t wait to get into. It makes me wonder what sort of protective powers and possible benefits this suit will give the wearer. Later on in the trailer we also see a wicked cool blue set of Power Armor that looks like Enclave Armor, which I love. I’m wondering if that was supposed to be the Quantum Armor, or something of that nature. But whatever it’s called, I can’t wait to see what it can do. Nearer the end they showed us a scene where a man in large, caged red Power Armor is standing in a bumper car arena being electrocuted. This is a really great teaser because it doesn’t explain itself very well and it gets people excited to see what it means. I have to wonder; is this raider Power Armor; who was that guy wearing it in the trailer; what are the stats for it; how do you use the Bumper Car Arena to shock people? This DLC is going to have a tonne of cool armor and power armor for us to collect, that much is clear. After the Armor we’re greeted with a scene on a roller coaster, which is incredibly awesome because it was in first person view. This could be teasing the idea that there will be rides that we can actually get on and enjoy for ourselves in the park. Functioning roller coasters and theme park rides! I hope that means we’re able to get on them and go from place to place to reach new areas; that would be such a cool usage of the ride-able rides feature. It looks like there might even be a number of rides, not just roller coasters, and I can’t wait to see what sorts of fun games and activities you can do in the park. They showed ski ball and a shooting range, that might mean there are a number of different carnival games to enjoy. Maybe there’s even a prize system, like there was with the slots in New Vegas. Speaking of New Vegas, there were a lot of things about this Nuka World content that made me reminisce about the days of New Vegas. The first thing that made me feel the feels for NV was the appearance of a robot with a screen for a face, showing us an advertisement for Nuka-World Theme Park. This immediately made me think about Yes Man and Victor from NV, and I loved that, because NV was one of my favorite games of all time. Could we get some new robo-friends; maybe even some new parts to use in building robots at the Robot Workbench? After that we get a glimpse of an Old Western looking town with a Cowgirl moseying on through. That just screams New Vegas to me and makes me excited for the new clothes, weapons, NPCs, and side quests that might be out there. We also get a good glimpse of a broken down looking roller coaster that definitely reminds me of the one circling Primm in NV. There are a number of things that get me reall excited, as New Vegas fan, and I am glad they're going back to some of that NV style. Because it's really hard for me to go back to playing New Vegas now that we've got Fallout 4. Another bit of excitement that made me think about New Vegas was the appearance of what looked to be a new Raider Gang. This gang seems to enjoy wearing masks with their armor, which definitely gave me some White Glove Society vibes. (Was that a reach?) These masked Raiders appear to be some kind of slaver group, so I am interested to see if there is some side quest action regarding this new group. There were many different mask styles to see on the Raiders in this trailer, from blank metal masks to bird beak masks, and I can’t wait to see how many there are that I can collect and wear myself. Not only did they show us a new possible Raider Gang, there were a few new character styles that could potentially be representing new factions. They showed us some Cave Men, some Old Western style NPCs, and even a couple of people that were giving me Gun Runner vibes. I am beyond excited to see all the new and different enemies we’ll encounter and perhaps even partner up with. On top of that, it appeared there were new hairstyles and colours out here in Nuka-World, and I for one am happy they've added some funky colours and mohawks back into the game. They can be seen here adorning the Raider's heads, which I hope means we're able to wear them ourselves. There really isn't any good reason why we shouldn't be able to wear them. That paragraph is a great segue into speaking about the new creature type enemies we could be encountering in this DLC. We were shown a new and badass looking lizard beast; something that looks like a male version of Brahmin; a crazy, creepy looking tunnel worm with a quad-pronged mouth; some sort of jumping spider; and even some flying ants. Not to mention the appearance of some angry looking green aliens with blaster guns - which is so cool - I love when they add in cheesy sci-fi elements. This even ties into the whole New Vegas vibe with its sci-fi DLC; this is reminding me of the Old World Blues New Vegas DLC. On top of that, we might've been given a glimpse of the major baddy in this trailer – or at least I hope we were – because we were shown an awesome looking ghoul that I thought was a clown at first. He disappears into a cloud of black smoke before you get a good look at his face and I was so hoping he'd be a creepy clown. On closer inspection it looks like he's a special Glowing Ghoul, which is also cool, but has been done before. On the topic of ghouls, I want to point out an interesting few that we were able to see in the trailer. They appear to be covered in paint splatter, which gives me a very evil clown kind of feeling, and I'm wondering if that will be a running theme in this game. I hope it is. It’s unclear how far the clown theme might go in this game, but we did get to see a colourfully painted gun in the trailer. Which gives me hope that there might be a number of evil clown references and items in the DLC. There were actually a few more awesome weapons shown, most of which seemed like they could belong to a clown, and that feeds my theory that there is a clown theme there. Maybe you get the colourful rifle, wicked cool electric paddle ball, and dangerous rocket bat from defeating the Big Bad; or even from some side quests. All I know is, I don’t know how much longer I can wait to see all the epic new items that have been given to us inside this content. Including the items they have added to the settlement building part of the game. Apparently we’re going to get a bunch of new items to build Nuka-Themed Settlements and I do admit to being curious about them. It looks like there are actually a good number of items being added and a lot of them look really fun. It’s this gamer’s desire that they give us some new settlements to build on inside the Nuka Theme Park, because I definitely want to take over some land in that area. It would be such a good use of the settlement mechanic to allow us to take over areas for the possible new factions that might be introduced. How cool would it be to help whichever faction you’ve chosen to take over and build up the settlements inside Nuka World? This DLC should be at least the size of Far Harbor and so I’m thoroughly anticipating it. It has been a long time since I’ve been this excited for a piece of DLC from Bethesda, and 15 days from the writing of this article is much too long to wait - or at least that’s how it feels. The trailer did exactly what it was supposed to, it encouraged me to pre-order the game and secure my copy now. Because I want to be playing this game the minute it drops, filming every moment of it so I can watch the magic back later and swoon over the awesomeness. Until then, let’s keep our spirits high and count down the hours ‘til it will finally be available. Haven't seen the trailer yet? Check it out below. Thanks for reading, blog lovers, don't forget to comment down below and share this article with a friend.

This year I have been nominated for something called the Liebster Award, which I hadn't heard of before the beginning of this week. After some internet research, I discovered it is something like a YouTube tag. A YouTube tag is a video where you answer questions about a certain topic or yourself, and at the end of the video you tag other people to do the same thing. It helps promote their vlogs as well as your own, which creates a sense of community and fun. When I discovered this was a similar idea, I was so excited! I love YouTube tags, and to be able to do something like that with the blogging community is an awesome opportunity to be a part of something I really enjoy.
Thank you to the blogger who nominated me, Annie from Annie's Perception, I appreciate the nomination and I humbly accept. Rules: 1. Thank the blogger who nominated you and link back to their blog 2. Answer 11 questions you have been asked 3. Nominate 11 bloggers for the award (Or however many you can find) 4. Ask them 11 questions of your own The cool thing about the Liebster Award is that the blogger who nominated you asks 11 questions, and after you answer them, you get to make up your own eleven questions. It's fun to see what kinds of things people are curious to know, and also all the different answers and perspectives people offer. Time to answer some questions! 1. What is the main purpose of your blog?: The main purpose of my blog is to have a place to put the things I want to say and the things I want to create. I want to share my personal life lessons and experiences with others through writing blogs as well as fictional creations. 2. What do you like the most about the blogging community?: Everyone is really supportive, and there are a lot of ways to share your content because of that. A good number of people in the community like to help support and share other people's creations, and that kind of support goes a long way to helping everyone to be successful. 3. What would you say is the biggest achievement in your life?: Overcoming the darkest moments in my mental health journey has been my biggest achievement so far. 4. Would you like to become famous?: I'm not particularly interested in paparazzi and the idea of people prying into my personal life, so that part of fame doesn't appeal to me. But it would be of great value to have a platform on which to launch personal projects that make it easy to reach a large number of people at once. I am working toward building a platform like that, it takes time and effort to get there, there's no overnight success. 5. What is your favorite series and why?: That depends if you mean television or books. My favorite television series changes so frequently, but I do have a few core favorites. Friends, Sailor Moon, The Simpsons, That 70's Show, Undergrads, Clone High...The list goes on. But currently I have been really enjoying Bates Motel and Black Books, which are utterly different but equally brilliant in their own way. My favorite book series isn't anything cliché, like Harry Potter, though Harry Potter is a modern day masterpiece. It's actually a tie between The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer and The Gunslinger series by Stephen King. I have a lot of favorite books and beloved books that don't fall into the series category. Maybe I will make a blog post about my favorite books soon. 6. What plant would you describe yourself as and why?: I would love to say I was something mystical and magical like a tree - old, wise; a statuesque silhouette on a midnight hill, being pulled along lightly by the mysterious fresh-earth scented wind. But I am probably more like cactus or something, kind of prickly on the outside, soft on the inside. And able to store water for times when water is scarce...Or something like that. 7. Do you have a goal in life? What is it?: Yes, my goal is to become an independently published author, a prolific writer, blogger, and a helper of others. 8. What is your favorite tool that helps you get viewers?: Well, people will want to read your work more when it's good and plenty. Which basically means that if you put out a lot of quality content, people will naturally gravitate toward your work, and word of mouth will get you a long way as well. But since I am relatively new to taking this work seriously, I've been making use of Twitter quite a bit. I have grown to really enjoy Twitter and Instagram actually, I think if I could work as a social media consultant or something, I'd be quite happy. 9. What are 11 facts about you?: Oh gosh, 11 whole facts? Okay... 1.) I have naturally brown hair, but on my old license it didn't label any specific hair colour because I dye my hair so many colours that there was no point in labelling it. 2.) I have been writing since I was 6 years old, although mind you my stuff wasn't good back then - I don't know how good it is now, hopefully better than when I was 6. 3.) I have had a lot of pets in my life, most of them rodents, only one dog. I don't think I will ever be ready to have another dog, I already had the perfect one. 4.) I am incredibly introverted, which is why writing suits me, but self-marketing can be hard. 5.) I really love salsa con-queso. 6.) Coffee is my life blood. 7.) Reading is one of my most important hobbies because I am an only child, so I was alone a lot when I was a kid. Books were my way of enjoying imaginative adventures when I was at home, which made being an only child a lot less boring and lonely. 8.) I love yoga. 9.) I am addicted to gingerale in all forms. 10.) Videogames are my other passion, besides writing and books. 11.) My first big birthday present was a SNES as well as Super Mario All-Stars when I was 4 years old. I played that game until I was--I still play that game actually... 10. What would you do right now, if you'd have the chance to do anything in the world?: Travel all over the world writing books and blogs, eating good food, meeting amazing people, taking pictures, seeing sights and generally living life to the very fullest extent possible. 11. What are your pet peeves?: When people bump into me and don't say excuse me. I'm from Canada, and we're pretty polite, so it can really irk me when someone doesn't say excuse me when they knock into me. Rude people of any kind really seem to peeve me, so a lot of my pet peeves stem from stuff like that. But in general I am pretty laid back, so even when I get peeved, I'm not often one to make a big deal about something. Life is too short! My nominees list is a little short, because I couldn't seem to find any more people to nominate in time for this post, but that's okay! Make the tag your own and make sure you have fun, that's what really matters. Nominees: - Lyndsey Parker from www.nailpixi.blogspot.co.uk - Manisha Garg from www.zarahatkeblog.wordpress.com - Nikki Rowley from www.justnikkixoxo.blogspot.co.uk - Harjeet Kaur from www.anecdotesofmylife.wordpress.com - Sarah Mugar from www.passioneasesah.wordpress.com - Krysti Hirst from www.krystijaims.com Thanks again to the person who nominated me! I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the blogging community, and I can't wait to see what answers people give to my 11 questions! Here are the questions I'd like to ask! 1. What is your favorite thing about blogging? 2. What is your most memorable experience? 3. What is your favorite stand-alone book or movie? (Not part of a series) 4.

Enjoy the fun! -Truly Today is a big day for TruBeauty; it is a day when, with the help of my amazing supporters, we reached the 100 like milestone on the TruBeauty Facebook page. To some this may seem like a small feat, maybe something unimportant, but to me it is a symbol of my passion and what I have been able to accomplish with my life's work.
Pride fills my heart as I realize that I really can make possible any dream that I hold, any goal that I want to accomplish. I know that as long as I work hard enough, and I dream big enough, magic can work in it's own mysterious way and bring to life my vision. Despite this being one rather small beginning milestone of a long and arduous journey, it is representative of everything I hope to accomplish in the coming years. I am so happy and so deeply grateful for the opportunity to experience this success. Though I am proud of what I have begun, I know that I couldn't have done it without my supporters. My amazing friends and family who have never left my side; my wonderful followers and readers who have decided to take the time to like my page, or read my reviews, helping me reach other people in the world. And last but not least, I couldn't have done it without my haters and the people who have discouraged me - I am grateful for these people too, because without them I may not have learned how to be as strong and grateful as I am. Now that I have reached this milestone, it's my turn to give back to the people who have helped me to take this leap forward. So to the people who have assisted me in getting the ball rolling, I have decided to reward you with a giveaway. This giveaway will take place on my Facebook page as well as here on TruBeauty's website. It will be a small hair care giveaway to show my appreciation to everyone and everything that has gotten me to where I am today and helped me discover my passion and strength. Within the next few days, after I have organized the details of this giveaway, I will post a status online explaining how to enter and what the prizes will be. I hope that each and every one of you amazing people will enter, and I wish I could give something away to all of you, because you all deserve it. Thank you again for everything you have done to help me, friends, I couldn't have come this far without you. You're all truly beautiful inside and out. Warmest wishes, Tru <3 |
