A RANT ABOUT THE NEWS

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”

KIWI, TOMATO, AND AVOCADO PANCAKE SALSA

PLAY ASSASSIN'S CREED: MIRAGE

I've played nearly every major Assassin's Creed game to date - I missed Unity since I didn't own the appropriate console at the time it released, and later (after reading their stance on female characters at the time), I never felt particularly motivated to pick it up later on. I've had a somewhat complicated opinion of the franchise over the years, but generally enjoyed them all. What follows is a brief history, devoid of spoilers, of the AC games as I see them.
