It's been a while

Oops, silly me~!


I'm very sorry that I haven't been here to write, it's been at the back of my mind. However I have been wanting to come over and say hello. But I didn't expect that to take almost a month.

Currently, I'm on school brake until around the 13 October, then it's back to school for me. Annoyingly, I haven't done any school work during my time off but again, at the back of my mind with my blog. I've wanted to but I just haven't, hopefully I will make some progress soon.
I've been playing a lot of Skyrim lately, made a good amount of progress in that, I've also applied for a couple of jobs but I know that no one is ever hiring here so it's hard to make some extra money. (There is a Paypal button to the top right if you'd like to donate a bit to help me pay for school, that'd would help me so much!)

The YouTube thing is going really slowly, which is to be expected with a new channel. I've been uploading every Friday since I started, but right now, I'm not sure on how long I can keep it up. I may be able to keep that up until the end of October but I'm really not sure on what to do after that.
I upload un-boxing videos every Friday at 4:00PM AEST, and for the past week, I've also been uploading a video daily for Super Smash Brother for the 3DS.
If you want to visit my Youtube channel, it's called SmiliePlays and you can you visit it if you CLICK HERE.

Below, I will put a few of my videos so you don't have to venture too far to see some.

GAME REVIEW - Drive Any Track


Drive Any Track is a game on Steam that I happen to come across yesterday and haven't been able to stop playing. I bought it on sale for $5.99UDS [$14.99USD original], I'm very glad that I bought it for the price I did. It overall is a great game and I love it.

It's currently still in Early Access but from what I've seen and played, again, I'm loving it so much. It looks beautiful and plays great. It's easy to pick up and really anyone can play.

I can only assume that most players may be playing with a controller, which I am. If you decide to as well, you really only need the control stick to drive, A to select and use a boost, and X to drift. It took me a while to figure out that pressing X will let you drift, I knew you could be again, it took me a bit to figure that out.

I've included some screen shots of a couple of the tracks that I've done on the right and as you can see, the game does look super amazing. You have a choice of cars and the tracks that you can race in, just wow.
But the main point of the game, if you want to say it like that, is to go into your own, personal music library and your music tracks, become your race tracks!

I've been the first person to 'create' race tracks, because I've been the first player to race with a certain song, for example, I picked the song Werewolves by Short Stack [WATCH IT HERE] and I was the first player to select and race that song, so I was marked the 'creator' of the track and was rewarded 100 coins for creating a new track.

You may wonder, "But MySmilie, how mayny race tracks in the game are there?" Well kind reader, how many songs on file are there that we can access? That's how many race tracks there are!

Is there anything I would change or add. Yeah, of course! I wouldn't mind the ramps  being a bit more different from the barriers, just to make it easier to tell they are ramps. That is the only thing I would change, but I would like it if there were stats with the different vehicles, to make them more different from each other, other then just they way they look. I wouldn't mind if different cars were different weights (light, medium or heavy), different handling and drifting stats and maybe acceleration? That could just be me but I think that would be an interesting option, again, just to make the cars more different from each other. I also think the $15 price tag is a bit high, I did buy it on special, yes, but do think the creaters should consider lowering the price a bit, possibly to $9.99. But no lower then that, unless it's on special! :P

But again, overall, the game in amazing and I'm loving it so far. I can't wait to see what else they add and to see what else they do with it. I highly do recommend buying it when you get the chance.
I'll be uploading a few tracks I've recorded myself racing, onto YouTube over the next couple of days so if you want to watch that, head on over to my YouTube Channel!
