With our third successful assassination under our belt, we're starting to get a handle on how to deal with our assigned targets. And with six more left to neutralize, it's up to us to maintain the momentum. https://youtu.be/DFmyZ_BvHWU Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud I am...

With one fell swoop, the good doctor has gone straight to heaven. And then there were seven. https://youtu.be/0OSsZdlKHQI Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud As a narrative setup and plot device, being demoted down to Novice for our hubris and blatant disregard, so that we can...

Our second target is in sight, and all we need to do is wait for our moment to strike! https://youtu.be/x7mqX0_0mJk Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud Since we've already spent so much time comparing Assassin's Creed to Hitman, I think it's also worth pointing out that both...

Now that we've spent so much time solving murders, we get to start causing them. That's right. It's time to go back to the first game, released in 2007, in one of Ubisoft's longest running franchises: Assassin's Creed. https://youtu.be/2QXyhAG-0cs Streamed at...
