Salvage

Purgatory

The Fort

Despite what is depicted in the comic strip, the fort I built today (with minimal help, LADIES! You know who you are) was actually pretty awesome.

The Many Uses Of Stealth

Mass Sleep Deprivation

I know what you're thinking. The comic is late cause I finally bought Mass Effect 3 and I've been neglecting my duties. Well it's not true. Okay, the part about buying ME3 is but the comic is late due to unfortunate screening times for the Avengers movie.
It's badass, go see it.
Also, I may have been involved in instigating a slow clap for the Hulk that spread through the theatre. If you've seen the movie you probably know at which point this happened. *SPOILER*

Little Hooves, Mechanical Mandibles

We were driving back from the beach with me in the passenger seat, slightly drunk.
Victor was swerving the car just for kicks and we spun out harmlessly at least once.
I spotted a car nose-down in a ditch and we rushed over to check it out.
The back seat was empty and the driver's seat was filled with big white pillows.
Two denim legs poked out from underneath and I opened the door to get them free.
I was worried that there might be spinal damage and didn't want to move her without checking.
Somehow I woke her up and she seemed ok; so I dragged her out onto the grass before the car sank into the earth.
She wasn't the most gorgeous girl I'd ever met but something about saving her life made her beautiful.

I've been having weirdly vivid dreams lately.

A Premonition

So Punny

The Backup Plan

Cut A Demo

So today I decided to record and upload some songs to my soundcloud profile. There are a couple of covers up at the time of writing but I'll hopefully get some original songs uploaded later this afternoon.
Check it out and let me know what you think.

How It's Done

This week, the Highscore Kid gets schooled on the art of zombie killing by Rachie Gem.

Almost Home

Religious Holidays

Orb Is What?

Just a bit of doom-saying on my behalf. I can see some people getting veeeeeery annoyed with some of these 'features'.
It should go without saying that this is all rumours at this point, so don't take me seriously. That's probably a good approach in general actually.

Apparently There Are Limits

In the beginning Assassin's Creed blew me away with its free-running gameplay and mixed techno-medieval mythology. Then Ezio came along and the layered story really got its hooks into me; I can remember sitting dumbfounded at the end of AC II as the scope of Desmond's quest came into view. AC: Brotherhood was a welcome follow up. It introduced some fun new gameplay elements and once again I found myself with over 100 hours playtime as everyone's favourite Italian Assassin. I wonder how many other players turned away all the male citizens they saved in an attempt to create a badass all female 'Brotherhood'.

Then we got Revelations and I'll admit I was a little worried. It was the first in the series to glitch on me. Four immortal, yet indifferent, guards fell to my sword and rose from the dead only to watch undeterred as I repeated the process. The hook-blade came with it's own set of oddities. Holding the grab button while jumping toward a roof would sometimes teleport me downwards so that the proper hook-climb animation could play. While the story was interesting it didn't grab me in the way the earlier installations had, there were no great discoveries to be made, no truths revealed. The revelations were all on Old Ezio's part, not mine.
Mind you, I still played it. I still enjoyed it. I was just getting worried is all.

You can imagine my relief these last couple of weeks when AC III was first leaked and then announced. Three year production cycle as opposed to one? Yes please. Radical evolution of existing gameplay, such as free-running through trees? Don't mind if I do. A new setting to explore and another ancestor to puppeteer? Yuh huh! Plus no tower defence mini-games. Thank fucking god.

Needless to say I am looking forward to this a LOT. Anyone else hungry for a bit of Assassin action on the frontier?
