Attack on Titan Xbox One Game

I absolutely love the anime series. Looking forward to Season 2 coming out. Recently me and the love of my life bought the game. At first the controls were hard to get use to, because you have to press the RB button to lock onto, then press the X button to attach your anchor to the Titan, and press A to speed up your attack, then pressing Y to attack. You practically have to make pressing these buttons in unison a habit. After you play the game for a while you get use to the major button pressing. Each time I try watching the anime I end up having to go play the game. In the anime there are characters like Jean Kirstein, Armin Arlert, and even Sasha Braus who have their own unique personalities. Yet you never fully see them fighting Titans. When you are playing Expedition Mode you can choose any character that is included with the game and Jean, Armin, and Sasha are included. Even if you were not able to see them at their best in slaying Titans. You have the chance to change that by playing the game.

At first when you begin Attack Mode you switch between characters such as Eren, Mikasa, and Levi. Practically since these three are mostly focused on. I believe Armin is another character you can change to as well whenever you need to protect Eren in his Titan form as he places the gigantic boulder inside the hole of Wall of Maria in Trost District. Not only can you play Attack Mode, but there are Survey Missions you can undertake as well. With Survey Missions you go beyond the walls into Titan territory doing various mission objectives to obtain victory. I really love how Koei Tecmo (creators of Romance of The Three Kingdoms, and Dynasty Warriors series including Warriors Orochi) made this game very much like Dynasty Warriors. Although the fighting mechanics are completely different.

The blades, ODM gear, and gas canisters can be upgraded by collecting parts from Titans. These parts vary based on the type of Titan you were fighting such as the famed Armored Titan, Crystallized Titan ( Which is what Annie has the power to do.), and another Titan type but I will not spoil it for those who haven't seen the anime nor seen Season 2 yet. The weapons in the game vary greatly based on blade length of your swords, durability, and amount which can be carried. In battle you can only carry 4 blades, but some characters have a skill you can unlock to where they carry more items of every type.

Overall I really love the game. There are spoilers to Season 2 in the game, but if you do not want to do those missions. You can always replay the games main storyline, or continue doing Survey Missions which there are quite a few of them. The more Survey areas you clear the more you unlock as these missions progress.

I Feel So Much Better

Honestly, I never felt so healthy and that much better about myself. In North Carolina I did not have anyone to get me started on eating healthier, drinking water everyday, do exercises to recondition my body. I was stuck in this bubble of eating junk food, and frozen foods, drinking sodas everyday. That it just made me feel yucky from putting that stuff in me. I never got that much calcium, iron, Vitamin C etc. I brushed my teeth but my teeth lacked the essential vitamins and minerals they needed to stay strong and not decalcify. But it happened anyway because of everything I ate and would drink daily.

When I was pregnant with my son last year months after moving out here to California. I was already drinking water, watching my diet, adding more protein and omega-3 to my diet, eating fruits and vegetables, occasionally would go eat at a restaurant. I did yoga as well to stretch my muscles out and make them smooth and more flexible. The love of my life was the driving force that helped me not drink liquid crap that could affect my immune system. My son since being home for almost a year now his immune system is very strong thanks to my lifestyle changes. He has been near quite a few sick people, and never caught anything from them. Me and the love of my life never vaccinate ourselves, and we never vaccinated our son when he was born even after he left the hospital. We do not agree with vaccinations. They do not have any all natural substances in them. Which is why we will  not vaccinate. There is stuff in food that isn't good either, and wish that the United States government can ban these unnatural chemicals and additives from the foods we eat. I would rather live in Europe because there is a lot of unnatural chemicals they do not add into food whatsoever.

I feel a lot better drinking water because it filters out all of the chemicals we take into our body everyday. I use to have mild acne. Almost everyday I would have pimples in some parts of my face, and had tons of blackheads. There were a few medicinal creams prescribed to me that I used, but it made my acne a lot worse to where my pimples turned into painful cysts that I could not even pop it hurt like Hell. I discontinued use of those creams because my face took so much damage from that cream. They wanted me to take Acutane but the dermatologist said there were a lot of bad side effects that happened when taking Acutane. Most commercials say that what is in the air clogs our pores. But that is mostly untrue, because what you eat and drink affects your skin. Where I grew up living with my parents the food I ate was not considered healthy, because they were too comfortable eating unhealthy food. My skin was bad the entire time. My blackheads would never go away due to me eating unhealthy food, and never taking in water. Since being here in California in the county of San Diego you need to guzzle down water where you do not dehydrate. I kept drinking water more and more noticing how my face no longer had acne whatsoever. My husband even noticed too that my face is getting clearer. I even looked in the mirror and noticed that my face was getting clearer. He said to keep drinking water that way the rest of the chemicals in my body get flushed out.

As I am writing this blog post right at this very moment. My face is completely clear. I still drink water everyday, but I do get 100% apple juice since it contains a lot of Vitamin C in it. I very very rarely eat anything with sugar in it. Once a month or if someone offers a cupcake or cheesecake I will accept it. Rarely happens but when the offer is given I accept, but I never eat more than I need to. I just eat the one piece. As for my diet it is so much better and a lot healthier. Me and my husband are slowly transitioning into more vegan foods. Our son we just started giving him baby food, and he is getting use to it. For his birthday coming up in two months we plan on doing everything vegan, and those who are at his 1 year birthday party they can bring their own food that they want to eat. Unless they want to eat the vegan food. We plan to have our son eat vegan to where he has an even stronger immune system, has healthy teeth, strong bones and muscles.

Another thing I no longer do that I use to do every day of my life when I was in high school and many months after that. Was use make-up. Anytime I had to go somewhere such as the doctors, dentists office, family gathering. I never went unless make-up was on my face. It was a way to cover up my acne, because it felt like people would stare at my face and not my eyes. Whenever I spoke to them. It made me feel self-conscious when my parents out loud would say "Gosh, look at your face." They completely embarrassed me in public doing this. I rarely went into public after that mostly because my parents they like humiliating people in public. Doesn't matter where, they always did that. Now I enjoy going into public letting people see my face because it looks amazing. Compared to before that is for sure.

Right here in the present I am glad I took the necessary steps to turn my life around. Because if I was still where I lived before then there was not going to be any progress made. The love of my life would be on the other side of the country, and not by my side taking these healthy steps with me. I am very happy with the result of bringing more healthier choices in my life. Now with my son he can be healthier too.

Kind of looking forward to what being vegan is like. :)
