Massacre

Those are hookers, not strippers. They're not the same, although both jobs come from poor life decisions and the lack of a father figure and/or positive female role model growing up.

Fuck, the article confirms he's part Mohawk and I never posted my guess in here. They used members of the Mohawk tribe for construction of tall buildings back then, because the other workers were afraid to climb onto the high-up beams and scaffolding. Perfect for AC.

Fuck that, I don't have time to make tea that way. I'm thirsty now.

It's delicious. Also, tea is better cold. Hot tea is just meh. Yup. I buy it by the gallon, can't stand to not have a drink nearby.

Good. I hated when I had to chase someone or move to a better spot to fight in, and Ezio wouldn't fucking break combat and run. Who the hell taught you about native Americans?

I take it they don't sell pre-made tea by the gallon over there? Actually, this is what I have: I don't know who the fuck Arnold Palmer is (a golfer, apparently), but I'm glad he mixed tea and lemonade.

I fucking wish. Yum. I've got meat (lots of it, some cooked, some waiting to be cooked), muenster cheese, chipotle mayonnaise, a jug of tea, and 40 or so cans of Coke Zero, both regular and vanilla. I'm not very well-stocked at the moment...

Sounds like the inside of an empty cargo ship. With zombies outside, of course. I don't sleep much as it is, but I think I could sleep through that, if it got to the point where I couldn't stay awake any longer.

I guess I'm just keeping this topic alive out of spite, now. ME3 launch trailer.

Nice duct tape.

Shit, wasn't even looking at it. Good spot. It's a tomahawk, by the way. I'm going to go ahead and guess that those will be replacing throwing knives, since that's mostly what they were used for. Besides scalping people, anyway; I doubt we'll be scalping anyone. Although, that would be a nice alternative to having portraits of our targets in the Assassin den. Hmm...

Don't blame us, you derailed your own topic into a discussion of the word 'honky.' It turned out to be more interesting than the original topic.

Here's a better look at what we're working with. Combined with the background image of this page, it looks like a bleached buckskin jacket and native American accessories over a modified American military uniform. I'm still looking at the patterns of the bow and quiver in preparation of doing some research. Every tribe had unique stitching and beadwork for their clothing, bags, etc. If I'm lucky, I might be able to dig up a little info before the new issue of GI hits the shelves.

More speculation on the vision quest: As I've said before, I didn't play the first game, so I don't know how old Altair was when he started, but Ezio was relatively young when he got pulled into the Assassin/Templar conflict. An interesting possibility for the start of the game is that we could be a young (half) Indian - whose parents are both dead - that recently became old enough to go on his vision quest. While he's on it, instead of the normal vision, where his spirit guide tells him what his role in the tribe will be, he's given a message from Those Who Came Before about the Assassin/Templar conflict in America and how he is meant to be a part of it. He returns to his tribe and tells the shaman what he saw, at which time the story of his parents (both assassins, maybe?) is revealed to him, and he begins his assassin training soon after. A vision quest is actually done while you're still a kid, because that's when they start training you for your role in the tribe, so there would be an "X years later" sequence, similar to the fast forward from Ezio's birth to him being a young adult. I was too focused on the Revolution story when I saw the leaked image. I'm much more interested now that I'm thinking of the possible Native American influence on the story.

Yeah, I'm wondering about that, too. I'm guessing one of Ezio's descendants had a daughter, and the new guy ended up banging her. It's not like there's anything saying that only the Altair/Ezio bloodline can be accessed through the genetic memory. I'm guessing Desmond can access the memories of anyone who was part of his bloodline, even if they weren't part of Ezio or Altair's. Another, simpler, possibility is that the new guy is the son of one of Ezio's descendants and a Native woman. I mean, why would he be using Native American clothing and weaponry if he were European? On a related note, I'm very curious as to how much influence Native American culture will have on the story. Indians are very spiritual people, I wouldn't be surprised if we got another message from Those Who Came Before through a vision quest.

Revelations was really good. Shorter than I would have liked, but then so was Brotherhood. Great story, great setting, great everything. Except for the dumbass tower defense minigame they tacked onto it, but that part's optional. I kind of want to go back and play Brotherhood myself, now. I'm reminiscing about Rome.

Well, I doubt he's just using Native American clothing and weapons for show.

Can we just go ahead and kill Amir? I feel like the Shit List isn't enough for that idiot.

This is called iron sights, for those who aren't familiar with first-person games. /randomly helpful

Meh, I found one a few minutes later.

I honestly can't remember what I've been doing lately, but I wasn't playing Skyrim. Going to get back into it for a few days before Mass Effect 3 comes out. Just downloaded these four mods to make everything look/sound even more amazing.

I blame school. The schools I went to were shit, and the only thing they ever talked about in my history classes were the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and WWII. I'm permanently burnt out on all three, and it's going to take a lot of work to get me to start giving a shit again. Also, I was hoping it would be set somewhere in the modern-day US. Seems like a huge waste of all the parkour and combat training Desmond went through not to make a game that was fully about him.

Yeah, just saw this on G4's site. If it turns out to be genuine, I'm going to be pretty annoyed with this decision once I get over how badass his outfit looks.

To clarify, a 10/10, 5/5, A+, 100%, or whatever, doesn't mean the game is perfect, it just means the reviewer(s) thought that game was good enough to get their highest score. Every game has flaws, and the majority of games that have gotten those high scores have had major flaws, but they were good enough for those flaws to be overlooked and given that score. They're not saying it's perfect, they're just saying it's an extremly good game.

You seem to be implying there's a place where I can't say whatever I want to say. Four days ago, I went on a very loud, profanity-filled, 20-minute rant about how apple pie without a crumb topping was stupid - in a library. I'm pretty sure society's rules don't apply to me.
