It's not Ubisoft that claims the copyright, it's some label called "Believe".
As in, "believe in the fact that we will kill all those who infringe our stuff."

Whyyyy is encoding a 25 second video so hard? Dailymotion glitched it up too.
I might as well finish it and try uploading that. Grr.

Ok, now it works. I think it just needed time to like, be published.
I used to like Dr Pepper a lot. Lately though, I've kinda stopped liking stuff with caffene, and I've noticed since I gave up on it, I feel better. Ever since I have barely touched soda at all, now it almost makes me sick if I have anymore than like a single cup of that deluted fountain stuff from a resteraunt. I've been trying to be healthier lately, but it's extremely difficult when I have to go into survival mode every other week because we have no food.

I only drink caffeine every other day, as being in a desert, it's always best to drink water the most. So even if you drink a can of soda, two cans worth of water will pretty much delude the soda to the point of it having little effect on your body.
I can't wait to go to my university because they have very healthy choices of food there. During my orientation I even got to eat fried tofu and curry. I just have no choice over what I eat at home because my mom decides to buy what she wants to eat.

Yeah, that sounds like a good policy. Caffene effects me like crazy, if I have a can of Coke during the day or with Dinner or something, that night I probably won't sleep. And the thing is I don't get hyper, I still get lethargic before bed, just not tired enough to sleep, so I just lay there. So now I just go crazy with water. And natural fruit juice, I love that stuff, especially that V8 fusion stuff, that stuff rocks.
Wow, that sounds nice! Yeah, I kinda hope I can get some control over my food situation as well, And I've only tried Tofu once, and that was by accident, ha ha ha ha. I probably only didn't like it because it was in the form of vegetarian sausage, and I was expecting some real sausage. I'm sure if it was prepared in a way I could understand it, I could possibly try it. I've extremely picky though, ha ha ha. And yeah, same here, and she has extremely expensive tastes for someone on food stamps, an idea that she doesn't seem to understand. So I'm forced to often eat really unhealthy cheap stuff in very spaced out periods of time, I have to make, like, 3 days worth of food last a week quite often. So during college I hope to do the same thing, and try to kinda control my own fate a little more. Although there are only cows, fields, trees, and old people near my college, hah a ha

I had V8 once and decided that I didn't like it. Hahahaha My tongue was like "WTF is this, liquid vegetables?" xD So I decided to drink sweet tea instead if I wanted flavor in my drink.
My university actually has some very cool water dispensers where you can get regular water, or water with fruit flavoring... and to get the flavoring, they actually put fruit into the water and you can see it in there! My school also endorses a "no plastic water bottle" policy so they gave every student a metal water bottle and showed us that down nearly every hallway there was a water bottle re-filling station.
My school is big on being eco-friendly, and plans to be carbon zero by 2020. Most of the buildings either use no energy or use solar power, and most of the students do not bring, or only use their cars, outside of school grounds. Most people get around by walking or biking.
And my meal plan is 14 meals a week, which means 2 meals a day, though I can still use up to 3 meals a day, I just would have to use my own money if I run out of 14 meals before the week is up. And the meal plan can be used at all 25 restaurant locations on campus, as well as two all-you-can-eat places where I had the curry. So even though the meal plan is a big chunk of my college expenses, at least I know that I won't go hungry or thirsty.
Does your college have food on-campus or do you still have to buy everything on your own? And that sucks how your mom can't seem to grasp how to use food stamps properly. It's not for seafood or gourmet dishes...

Well that would be my thought with the normal V8 crap, but this stuff is made intentially to disguise the awful vegetable taste. It taste like fruit juice, but has vegetables in it. If someone like me can stand it, you know it's probably not bad, ha ha ha ha. And what kind, like the premade crap, or real deal tea? Cause real deal tea is unbeileveably cool, we just never have it, and I suck at making it.
Wow. Thats actually pretty awesome! Yeah, any given day I go through 3 plastic water bottles, I'm baaaaad for the environment, ha ha ha ha. We have absolutely terrible water quality here, like, the water from the faucet actually has like teeny chunks of asphalt in it quite regularly, and it tastes really weird, so I'll only use water bottles. This school sounds all futuristic though, I remember when WATER BOTTLE REFILLING STATIONS were just called water fountains and were dirty and disgusting. And jeez, free electricity too, I was expecting to also see Segways as a means of transport in this future world. You should start practicing Parkour so you can get around the campus that way! That would RULE.
So wait, the college gives you the money for those 14 meals!? DAMN! Thats amazing! So just once a month with your own money buy some cheap stuff for your dorm for your 3rd meal, breakfast or dinner depending on your schedule, and your set. This sounds like one awesome college. I wish ours was that amazing, or even civilized.
We have one Cafeteria. I'm not sure about free food, but I doubt it. Chances are I'll just eat all my meals at home. And yeah, I wish she knew that, she comes home with $20 packages of shrimp to eat by herself. And gets pleanty of meat that she also eats by herself, which cost 10 times more than the Ramen and Raviolies I have to end up buying to survive the 3 weeks a month that we have no food.

Some of it is canned tea, but my mom makes tea regularly from tea bags, it's just a bit too strong for me to drink much of it at one time. The refilling stations are also water fountains, but there's a senser above the fountain where you put your bottle under the senser and it "sees" the bottle and fills it in about 3 seconds. Hahaha, my school's buildings aren't close enough for parkour to make much difference. xD And segways would not work in snow.  Nah, I/my parents pay $1854 up front per semester for the meal plan, which pays for the 14 meals a week, plus gives me an extra $100 to spend at my expense for off-campus dining or extra meals. Freshmen are forced to have meal plans so they don't die.  Yeah... seafood is only a good thing to buy if you purchase it in a seafood nation like Japan. I purchased a box of sushi there for only 2 bucks, compared to the 8 bucks here for around the same amount of food. |

Ahh, indeed. The canned stuff isn't AS bad as the pre made store stuff, like the stuff you buy at a convenience store. That stuff will murder your insides like a tiny freddy kruger.
AHH, Did they literally teleport this school in from 2078!? I bet they have a PS9 for every student too! Forget segways, they should have eco friendly jetpacks at this school already! And awww, I guess. There are always some obsticles one can conquer. Someday I'll have somewhere to go to practice my assassin techniques. And you mean they don't make snow tires for segways!? SEGWAY RALLYCROSS!! That would be awesome!
Oh jeez! Thats a lot of money on top of tuition....It's still a good deal though, and yeah, thats probably smart, ha ha a h ha. Hmm, 14 meals a week for how many weeks? I wanna do the math and see if thats a good deal or not.
Yeah, seafood is only a good thing to buy in the US if your rich and can afford it, and are not using american tax dollars to buy it, and when you only get $160 a month, $20 should make at least 10 meals, maybe more, not one for one person for a day. I honestly don't know how the government can legitimise giving an alcoholic free reign with their money without anyone monitoring her spending. And wow. I guess that there is like beef or chicken here or something. I guessing that kind of meat we get for reletively cheap here is expensive in Japan?

Hahahaha, we could probably have a segway racing team... There's already a Wii Mario Kart team. xD
It's probably a good deal, but it depends on what you compare to I think. Since $100 at a grocery store will buy a ton of more food than $100 at a Burger King.
Japan has cattle and chickens, just not as a vast resource like we do. But Japan has high food prices on everything, regardless, so the Japanese actually love food souvenirs and gifts the best. "Free food, thank you! Love you forever!" x3
Though I must say that I had some great grilled chicken on a stick, known as "yakitori", and it was so good that I bought it three times from the same guy. He looked at me weird, like why I would buy $3 sticks of chicken three times in 15 minutes. Hahahaha It was amazing chicken!!
Ah, I miss Japan. It has been almost a year since I left it...

I think you mentioned this, It's just on Wii though, right? I'd start a real life Mariokart Racing team before I started a Segway team. It'll happen, and it will be incredible. We'll do both tarmac and dirt and snow rally, it'll be awesome!
Ehh, yeah, thats true. What, you have to use it at fast food place only!? And they wonder why our country is fat! They should make it so you can use them at grocery stores too to teach students meal planning and budget keeping. It would make way more sense, keep students better fed and healthier, and help them not be useless slobs who don't know anything about grocery shopping when they leave college.
Really!?! Ha ha ha ha, thats pretty hilarious. And wow, that does sound interesting. 3 bucks for chicken though!? Jeez! The stick better be the expensive part. I guess the PM really is the most evil man alive, I bet he made everything expensive too.
Awwwwwww... You'll go back someday! If nothing else, we can go when a game we make debuts at TGS.

No, I can use it anywhere, like a local food market or downtown restaurant, as long as I show my NAUID card. We actually aren't allowed microwaves in our dorms, we only have community kitchens for preparing food.
Japan's had expensive food history for the past 30 years or so. Especially since they import most of it except seafood and they tend to eat at home rather than go to McDonalds, unless they're on a trip in which they'll usually buy bento boxes which are pre-made lunches usually consisting of some rice balls and vegetables.
Yeah, it's such a cool country to visit!

Oh, awesome! And yeah, I can understand that. And thats kinda lame though, do they have a lot of them at least, or is there just 1 kitchen? Being able to prepare your own food I think would be much cheaper I'd think. Do you have any particular cooking skills?
Oh, riiiiiight. I thought Emperor Shinra decided to make food 500 times more expensive than it needed to be to starve out those pesky young people making money and keeping the country relevent. Indeeeeeed. Thats pretty facinating though. I guess that makes it all make sense. I guess thats why they all aren't fat blobs like us Americans.
Yeah! All the stories about it are facinating. Plus, they have Bamboo, and lots of PS3s.

There's one kitchen per dorm building, with a few stoves, microwaves and sinks. I think most people don't prepare their own food. Uh... I can fry eggs and make grilled cheese sandwiches... I can't cook without looking at a recipe book and usually I screw it up. ^_^;
Americans wouldn't be so fat if we didn't love cars so much. But then, I guess we can thank General Motors for destroying all the trolley cars and killing off their competition in the early 1900s for that.
I saw a bamboo forest, it was neat. And everything was so green over there, I've never seen so many plants in one place! Compared to the brown desert, it looked like paradise. And anyone who loves cities will enjoy the Japanese architecture, I know I did. Though I preferred the quite shrines and vast expanses of untouched forests that Japan had more than the big cities.
