323 BCE - Iltani poisons Alexander the Great
210 BCE - Wei Yu assassinates Qin Shi Huang with a spear
41 CE - Leonius kills Caligula
44 CE - Marcus Junius Brutus (Assassin) and 39 others kill Julius Caesar. Brutus's documentation leading up to this event? The Scrolls of Romulus you collect in ACB (to get Brutus's armor).

Wouldn't they have to still go by the actual Assassin Order it was based on? Those are mentioned in the games, but would kind of throw out the whole "based on an actual group of skilled killers" shindig. Then it's "any major series of assassinations in human history".

Correct. But Adam and Eve are still the first Assassins int he game universe. Darius killed Xerxes with a hidden blade (according to the games) for what it's worth as well.

so, we've been getting our floors changed now, and soon some of the wallpaper too.
they do one room at a time, which means we have to move all the furniture and junk from one room and find a place for them anywhere else.

and i've come to a realization:
we have way too much stuff

I fear Citroën has been taken over by Abstergo. Take a look at the rims, see something familiar?

In my local newspaper the comic was arranged as 3x3 with the title in the first pane: "Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey". The online version doesn't have a title pane.

This comic strip consistently delivers laughs. The title character is a great white shark who is pleasant to his friends but has this drive to eat everything.

I am familiar with the strip, and I figured it was a title pane. It is a really good one though.

I saw this AC-themed word game on Twitter. Fill in the words and it generates a story.

Make this its own thread... but until then, I will post my results here:

Spoiler: Highlight to view
After training for 8 years, my mentor Haytham Kenway believed I was ready to begin my high quest as an Assassin. I felt sorrow as I packed away anteaters in preparation for my journey to the Kwik-E-Mart. The following morning, I climbed onto my falcon and traveled for 14 hours. I looked forward to meeting with Rosa. We shared a flat bond, even though we initially felt anger towards each other. A vast noise interrupted my thoughts and I felt an arrow pierce my kneecap. [HAHAHA inadvertant Skyrim reference!] Down the road, I saw a group of Templars approaching me slyly, and I came to the realization that my dachshund couldn’t outrun them. I immediately wielded my billy club and prepared to jump the attackers. The fight was leaning in my favor until a Templar caught me off-guard and shot me in the finger. Before I fell into unconsciousness, I heard Yusuf Tazim’s voice in the distance. I awoke in an infirmary and noticed that someone was sitting at my bedside. Instantly, I recognized the green eyes of my long lost lover, Malik Al-Sayf, who quickly kissed my nostril and whispered to me softly, “That which is in style is not always stylish, and just because something is fashion, it is not always fashionable..” A sadness feeling washed over me and I replied, “Nothing is bumpy. Everything is horny.”

To be continued…

EDIT: I put it in spoilers as to not give it away if others plan to do it themselves first.

Here's mine...

"After training for 12 years, my mentor Connor Kenway believed I was ready to begin my hunkalicious quest as an Assassin. I felt mentally damaged as I packed away computers in preparation for my journey to seattle. The following morning, I climbed onto my flying squirrel and traveled for 428 hours. I looked forward to meeting with Sofia. We shared a mathematical bond, even though we initially felt content towards each other. A amazing noise interrupted my thoughts and I felt an arrow pierce my pinky finger. Down the road, I saw a group of Templars approaching me firmly, and I came to the realization that my cougar couldn’t outrun them. I immediately wielded my Red Ryder BB gun and prepared to stroke the attackers. The fight was leaning in my favor until a Templar caught me off-guard and shot me in the belly button. Before I fell into unconsciousness, I heard King Richard’s voice in the distance. I awoke in an infirmary and noticed that someone was sitting at my bedside. Instantly, I recognized the beige eyes of my long lost lover, Darim, who lightly kissed my adam's apple and whispered to me softly, “I once stole a pornographic book that was printed in Braille. I used to rub the dirty parts.” A unhappy feeling washed over me and I replied, “Nothing is bumpy. Everything is sticky.”

Mine, with a little Game of Thrones flare mixed in:

Spoiler: Highlight to view
After training for 49 years, my mentor Caterina Sforza believed I was ready to begin my hard quest as an Assassin. I felt frustration as I packed away boobs in preparation for my journey to Uranus. The following morning, I climbed onto my shark and traveled for 55 hours. I looked forward to meeting with Talal. We shared a wimpy bond, even though we initially felt happiness towards each other. A blue noise interrupted my thoughts and I felt an arrow pierce my boobs. Down the road, I saw a group of Templars approaching me jiggly, and I came to the realization that my beaver couldn’t outrun them. I immediately wielded my mace and prepared to stalk the attackers. The fight was leaning in my favor until a Templar caught me off-guard and shot me in the ear. Before I fell into unconsciousness, I heard hat doucher Abbas’s voice in the distance. I awoke in an infirmary and noticed that someone was sitting at my bedside. Instantly, I recognized the macaroni and cheese eyes of my long lost lover, Dobby, who heartily kissed my toenail and whispered to me softly, “and so my watch begins.” A confusion feeling washed over me and I replied, “Nothing is scary. Everything is ugly.”

Also, yes, I'm a male and thus perpetually stuck in the state of an 11 year-old, thus my use of "boobs" twice and "Uranus." Deal with it.

well. today was a complete waste of time

yesterday a friend told me a of a Midsommar celebration on a Football field.
i found the place on a map now and was going there now.
by bike.
was eager for actual human contact.

but Murphys law is on me like a leech.
halfway there, the bikechain snapped. it's completely broken, i decide to walk the rest of the way.
and i get lost.
walk around for a bit trying to find the damn place, before i decided to just screw it all and go home.
took an hour to walk home.

no social interaction for me now.

So how was everyone's Fourth of July? Star I'd have to say this was probably the best I've had so far. It used to be just watching fireworks, but in the past few years we've been setting some off. And even before the fourth there was some fun. There was a parade (which I didn't see because of work) and even a celebration at a park, complete with a singing band. You can't ask for any more than that.

So hows yall Fourth of July?

Last night I had a dream that Stabguy came to my house to give me a book about Assassin's Creed that he wrote. It was a technical book, with drawings of Altair's skeleton that you could use to position the camera angle properly for making better videos. Also it contained a ton of diagrams and charts. I couldn't see what information they contained since they looked like scribbles. There was one that was shaped like an X with scribbly loops on the ends.

Actually he never comes to my house in my dreams. It seems we just meet up at some random place. And dang, I never knew he was that good at checkers. Grade But of course there was that one dream that also involved Ian, that was funny.

So my recording software can still allow me to edit videos in the program itself (without using Movie Maker or Adobe Premiere, etc). I managed to edit and upload my friend and I playing The Walking Dead game.

The editing is choppy because the tracker isn't as exact as other programs I'm used to, but it's good enough to keep making videos. Should I continue the Tyranny of King Washington series, or is everyone done with that?

So I just went to the dentist.
Am I the only one who doesn't know what to do with his tongue, when you've got your mouth open??
Also, I'm sweating like a madman when I'm on the chair. And it's not because I'm afraid of going to the dentist, honestly, because I like the guy and he's always been good to me.

On another note, my laptop has developed mind-reading abilities. I started up Uplay, ready to launch AC3, plugged in the battery charger, and this popped up:

And I was like: Yeah, _-AC MODE INITIATED-_

Tongue is always problematic, though I've been to the dentist more times than I care to count (one of my teeth is just plain dead, plus I used to wear braces), so now I just keep it down somewhat.

One time I literally had a banana in my pocket.

It was 7th grade and I wasn't yet familiar with the joke. Back then I played sports every season: football in fall, basketball in winter, track in spring. I'd get hungry for an afternoon snack so my mom would pack an extra fruit with my lunch that I could eat before or after practice.

One day I ended up with a banana in my school locker but without a brown bag to take it to practice. Now, carrying an apple or orange across campus would not have been a problem. There's something funny about a banana and I feared that openly carrying one would draw ridicule. So I looked around and shoved it in my front pocket. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

What they say about having a banana in your pocket must be true. On my way to the gym a girl from the 8th grade flirted with me. Patrick's sex face

Oh man! Memories!

I work in a research group of about 10-15 people. In my first year (about 5 years ago) we were taking a new group photo and asked someone from another group to take our photo. So we get all aligned out on the balcony and the guy takes the camera about ready to take our photo. Out of no where, one of the girls in the group comments to the guy with the camera, "Is that a cigar in your pocket?" Sure enough, he had a cigar in is front shirt pocket. Needless to say, much hilarity ensued, and our smiles were more genuine in that photo than in any photo since.
