Semester is finally over. Done juggling seven classes and work, done with final assignments, done with unwanted drama,  done done done. Feels like I've got my entire life ahead of me. Man it feels great.

[askthebarkeep]

Ah crap, so many asks I didn't even realize I had in my inbox. About to draw out a few to queue for tomorrow now that I'm out of the animus for 5 damn minutes.

Well that was pretty forward, Rebecca...

well good morning to you too

Cosplay Subway Ride Anyone?

Ok, I know I’ve been gone forever, blah blah, no time to myself, blah. But I was wondering if anyone here is going to be in the NYC area this Saturday on the 20th. There’s going to be a big cosplay meetup and we’re going to ride the subway in groups and act like nothing’s going on. I suck at explaining things, here’s a link . Anyway, if anyone can make it, drop me a message and we can meet up and you can make me feel horrible about not updating, it’ll be awesome.

Desmond! Where have you been?

I'm still here, just kind of lurking around. Pretty booked between work, school, projects, long overdue commission, Vidic telling me to get back in the animus. Can't really catch a break. I'll be back on top of this blog when spring break starts next week. Definitely not gone for good. No way. Never.

To the mun: Oh man, your art style is super appealing to eye. I really love the way you draw! (haha sorry random)

((Aw, thanks bro! :) I do try. A lot of the responses are drawn around 2 am after work, so I try to uphold some kind of standard. A lot of times I’ll completely redo a reply once or twice before I’m satisfied. Anyway sorry, none of that was important, I just wanted a reason to use this gif.))

Hello Shaun, go away.

[askthebarkeep]

Not...really...

[askthebarkeep]

Alright, seriously. Working on asks tonight and queuing them for tomorrow. On it. Right now. Me and the tablet. Let's go.

Thoughts on 4 (warning, this is a rant)

Yes, it's happening. I'm losing my faith in AC here. I feel like the whole thing should have been wrapped up in Revelations. It's got nothing to do with "omg Ezio was the best character ever and everyone else sucks omg Florence 4life!" No. (I love 2, but Ezio isn't even on my top fave list). I'm kinda glad we got to meet Connor I guess. I dunno, I still haven't beaten the game, and this is where I make my point.

3 really disappointed me, even more so than Rev did. I mean, I at least was able to accept Rev for what it was, a necessary end to a chunk of the story. Hell, I even cried (for days) at the end when Altair sat in the chair. 3 however just seemed like an unnecessary push. I've never lost the will to play a series like this, but after this and now the coming release of 4, I feel like at this point they're just spitting out these sequels and going like "HA! We know you'll buy this cause it's Assassins Creed! >:{D" Evil mustache and all.

Now I'm not a game developer, but I find it hard to believe that you can just crank out masterpieces within a tiny little time frame like that. And are you serious? The first DLC for 3 only just now dropped! How are they going to shoot out another title?You know, sometimes you just need to know when to quit while you're ahead. The story's got some depth, but come on, it's not that damn intricate. Let's count, on the platforms alone we've already got  5 games.(That of course isn't including  the hand-helds and comics, which kind of just serve as a supplement, but we don't have to count those to make the point.) With 4 on the horizon, that makes it 6. Not every series can have 6 games. Not every series can have 6 games so quickly. Not to come off as a critical hardass here, but these games are starting to feel rushed. And here I go with the other bad word but... they're also getting kind of...mainstream. Oh man, I said it. Hold on, gotta put on my hipster glasses. Something about the first few ACs (the first two especially) seemed kind of off beat and interesting. Now the more recent stuff is just  kind of blah, for lack of a better word. I feel like the initial magic, that odd, eerie charm that reached out and pulled us in is gone. I really wish they'd sit down and take a good hard look at the series, see what it started from and what it's grown into, and then take it out back behind the shed with a rifle. 

So in the mean time, while my friends online and at the workplace are rejoicing over 4, I'll just be over in the corner of my bureau in grumbling "What news, Ubisoft? >:T "

(( Oh man, one day...I will get to these asks. I'm kind of just drowning in school work and work and like the entire universe. Abstergo can go ahead and kidnap me now, I could use a break. ...Please guys? Help?))
