Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 6-3
Now that we've put an end to the Siege of Forli, it is time to advance the historical timeline to the next site of historical tourism: The Bonfire of the Vanities. https://youtu.be/iQ9JIcJXfSc Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud I find the timeline around part of the game becomes strange. Up until...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 6-2
In true historical tourism, we are now participating in the Siege of Forli that occurred in 1488. Of course, certain liberties were taken since we're working in the realm of a historical fiction centered on a global conspiracy as old as history itself, but at...

Only one name remains on the list: Rodrigo Borgia aka The Spaniard. One more name, and our revenge is complete. https://youtu.be/UdGd3Yns4E0 Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud On one hand, I like this as a part of Ezio's character arc, where he learns that all of his friends have been secretly...

Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 5-2
Somehow we've been roped into playing Carnival games in order to gain access to our next target, so we had better play to win. https://youtu.be/_6NTYsLvnWE Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud It's very amusing that Carnevale is the sequence that the initial E3 trailer was built on, because in retrospect it's...
