My fingers finally are accepting that they’re playing a game that is not Assassin’s Creed.  For a while now every time I rush into battle I’ve been grappling away because the SPRINT button for Assassin’s Creed is grapple on Arkham City.

Four games and five years of Assassin’s Creed is trolling me. 

When I got switched to Catwoman I was suddenly very good at fighting.  I think it’s Batman’s cape… makes me think of Ezio.    

AC1 had Flags, AC2 had Flags and Feathers and Treasure Chests and Codex Pages, AC3 had Flag and Feathers and Treasure Chests.

AC4 has tiny supernovas of memory particles that shine like Aragorn’s necklace from Lord of the Rings.

OMG MUST HAVE!!!!

No matter what I’m doing, running from guards, tailing my target, fighting off guards, or racing to a point if I see even a hint of that sparkle I freak out, start shouting “SHINY! SHINY SHINY SHINY!” and dive for it. 

I even got my Dad to say it when he was watching me play. 

So apparently there was supposed to be a bridge that connected the island where the Assassin’s HQ is and the rest of Istanbul.  The original designer for the bridge was the great Leonardo da Vinci but his ideas and construction was far too pricy.  The next designer chosen was his rival, Michelangelo.  When Michelangelo discovered that Leonardo had been the first choice the designer stormed out in a jealous huff and refused to build.  

These two were amazing.  There’s another story I read that both men were competing against each other to make the best fresco in the world but Leonardo’s was constructed with revolutionary paints that fell apart.  Devastated Leonardo pulled out of the race.  Without his rival to compete against Michelangelo never finished his own. 

LOL, they’re like little kids.  This amuses me to no end; I know people like this.

What’s going on here? 

Defend Assassin’s Den?

Why am I placing these things here?

Why can’t I place it there?

What does moral have to do with buying barricades?

OH - OH WHAT IS THAT THING?!

IT JUST TOOK OUT MY ARMY!

GIANT PLANK OF WOOD IS DEATH!

BURN IT WITH FIRE!

OH GOLLY, IT’S BURNING ME WITH FIRE!

OMG FINALLY~ I MET YUSUF

And he’s just as adorable as I suspected. 

LOOK AT HIM!! LOOK HOW ADORABLE HE IS!!

I’m so in love with this man.  Ezio likes him to, you can tell. He makes me think of my darling Leonardo (only a little more colorful and a little less gay…paradox).  Totally okay with his tutorial.  Don’t know why I was so angry with Altair maybe because i’m used to yelling at him.

Meanwhile, Ezio is now too old to get a date from a pretty lady. 

Still I can’t help but shake the overwhelming sense that something very bad will happen to him.  So far I’ve been able to escape spoilers but there’s just a feeling of doom about him.  He’s far too lovely to survive this game.

I like this part of the game :) Its a nice way to get into Ezio’s thoughts and hear what’s going on with the story line.

I love Ezio’s family.  I once made the entire lot on the Sims for both personality type, clothing texture, color, and body shape.  I then moved onto making the Auditore Mansion.  After a week of daily progress making the villa to scale my laptop died and with it all that I had created.

…

I never quite got over that.

Well so far this game is off to a great start.  Since this is on the computer you can’t hear my sarcasm so I’ll use a helpful gif to explain my emotional state.

Ever since the second game I’ve had trouble with cart challenge levels (but that first time was manageable because Leonardo was with me and he’s adorable so everything was sunny and dandy).  I can’t seem to steer the stupid thing or kill the other carts attacking me so I’m just leaning to the left by the ditches.

I hope that no one will be dumb enough to come after me.  

EDIT: This is what I looked like

If you’re going to be my guide please hurry up.  I really don’t like you baby sitting me through this tutorial.  Thanks but no thanks Great-Great-Great-Grandpa.
