You have a strong point.

Well, now I’m going to have to explain that the Catholic church acknowledges that this was a dark chapter in their history because the Templars were never bad, they only did those things to them because the King of France pressured them to... and then I’m going to have to get into how Assassin’s Creed actually tries…

So many questions.

I think by “weird” you actually just mean “shitty.”

Amazing article. I loved reading this. I’m going to save it to revisit it in the future. I wish I had the chance to write things like this.

You know, I just keep thinking “There are tons of injustices and terrible things in America, but we can still make movies that aren’t about those things and not even discuss them, and nobody bats an eye like it’s irresponsible.”

The Man Who Knew Too Little

Based on the list they provided above, you’d really think it DOESN’T have any games... because they listed some multiplatform crap that wouldn’t rank for me anywhere.

Can something be both censorship and also kind of understandably tasteful?

....explains so much

Ok, but that all happened before she lost her memory. She’s a new person!

Fair enough. It’s good for a YouTube laugh, make no mistake, but MAN I wouldn’t have the patience to work that hard to reprogram something to generate some YouTube gags.

I love and enjoy hilariously bad voice dialogue, too. But there are so many people who feel it’s a CRIME to ever improve it in a re-release, and that’s what this reminds me of - the active rejection of improvement in favor of something you fondly remember that is objectively terrible.

Wait, who became Lady Hitler? Because I seem to recall mostly just reuniting my family and making them nice again.

Lois done fucked up. She had a chance to get the biggest scoop of the millenium, and instead wanted to go off and report on Lex Luthor’s latest press conference or whatever the fuck so she shoved him aside.
