A new teaser trailer for Assassin's Creed 3 has been released today, making fans and viewers excited as the release date draws closer, which is on October 30, 2012 for the PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U. You can watch the trailer here:

You can't say he took an arrow to the knee, sorry guys and gals.

What did you think about the trailer?

For a much longer trailer, Ubisoft has offered its fans to do their advertising for them by liking their Facebook page, in which reaching the set goal of a whopping 1,776,000 posts/tweets/shares to unlock the world gameplay premier, scary huh?

Spoiler alert, don't read the next paragraph if you don't want to spoil the story.

Assassin's Creed 3 will take place during the American Revolution around 1775 in which the main character, Ratohnhaké:ton, at birth, whose other name is Connor Kenway, joins in on the fight between the Assassins and Templars after his home was attacked by the colonists. 

I can't wait to make the redcoat's coats much redder, and quietly (sometimes) eliminate the enemy. As for the teaser trailer, it was well done, I'm still waiting to see the fate of the redcoat. We'll just see if we can reach the goal to unlock the longer trailer.

Currently in development by Canadian game studio, Relic Entertainment, some details about the next COH have also been revealed. The main campaign for the RTS (Real Time Strategy) is set around the eastern front during World War II, as the player will be taking the role as the Russians, as you can see from the cover. When doesn't it snow in Russia? We can see that there will also be snow, and lots of it. Disadvantages of the snow is that it slows down vehicles and troops in the game, but the advantages are that they provide cover.

New gameplay feature will allow units to climb over cover, but limited to low walls. Eventually, a release date was also found, which is sometime in 2013.

If you're too lazy to read that paragraph, let me cut it down:

- Eastern Front, Russia

- Snow, and lots of it, helps for cover, but slows units

- Units can climb over cover

- Release in 2013

Details are limited at the moment, as further details will come in the latter months as we get closer to 2013. I can't wait to play this one, I loved playing COH Online, and playing as the Russians is going to be bad ass!

Manual Transmissions Back On The Rise

If you thought manual transmissions were dead (Well...in the US), think again! Numbers from car pricing website Edmunds report that 6.5% of new vehicle sales had a manual transmission. That statistic was the highest since 2006, although, the statistic also reported that 10% fewer new car models offered them in the last five years.

Why the increase of vehicles with manual transmissions? No one exactly knows, not even the automakers. A change in consumer behavior? Possibly. The increasing demand for manual transmissions surprised automaker Ford, as they reported that their Focus model received double the original prediction, which is now at about 10%.

As the future comes, we won't know if manual transmissions will be able to survive any longer, as the automatic transmissions grow increasingly dominant. One way to help the survival of the manual is to use it, by learning how to drive a vehicle with a manual transmission.
