So I'm going to try this crossposting business.
I miss having someplace to write about things I dislike rather than just posting silly gifs about things I dislike, though I am sure there is a delicate balance to be struck there, yes? Yes.
So a couple people were asking for my thoughts on Assassin's Creed: Revelations and it took me a while to dig out, so there's a link.
I'll add additionally that when I attended the AC:R Ubisoft launch party I talked to the head writer and told him I'd be interested in seeing more women Assassins. He told me there were a lot of reasons that he couldn't talk about why things were the way they were, but that I should "watch Embers because I wouldn't be disappointed." I was hella disappointed. I went numbercrunching after I watched and found out that A) We only meet one named female assassin who doesn't die/isn't killed, and that's Rebecca, and B) The female characters that appear in any given game are proportionally something like 11% for Assassins and 33% for Templars... I lost the numbers exactly, I'll have to do some angry pie charts.
Anyway, I also made a video. Full of spoilers, but one of my better ones. Watch it here.
