Finished Assassin’s Creed Black Flag this week and while I generally loved it I find it funny that my criticisms are the same ones that were in the original. The boarding of enemy ships is still boring and tedious as heck, and the Animus metanarrative is perhaps worse after the changes. Recommended.

I will never understand how emotional folks get when a millionaire kicks a ball into a net. It’s not like they solved global warming or blew up the deathstar and saved billions of lives. Enjoy it… but simmer the fuck down.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Star Trek doing Magic: The Gathering is the reason I quit playing. All of these crossover tie-ins for me ruin the verisimilitude of experiencing the game. No longer do I feel like a wizard/planeswalker drawing magic from the land and casting spells from a book when I summon… The Starship Enterprise.
