I could link you to a trailer for Assassin's Creed:Black Flag Resynched, but there's a ton of them, and it's safest to just drop you at their YouTube where you can choose from a World Premiere Trailer, an Official Game Overview Trailer, or even the Worldwide Reveal Showcase that clocks in at life a half an hour. It looks fucking amazing. This used to be My Series, I even liked the ones you aren't supposed to, but after they released two of them simultaneously and I finished Unity I kinda bounced off it - the RPG era and even to a certain extent dual protagonists felt really OOC. Just pick! Just pick the one whose blood I'm living in. This runs back before all that - probably the last of the truly blown out, old-style AC games. I really thought Edward Kenway was going to have a go of it, on some Ezio shit, get a trilogy by himself. That's how much people liked IV. I'd love it if that's what they're setting up. The multiplayer was some of the best times we've ever had online, it used to be kind of a full office affair watching those murderous Hide and Seek matches play out, but those were all additions after the series had hit its stride with mature technology and a massive global network of development teams. I can wait. It seems like they've really been going through it.

DirectInput

I've finally started checking out Pragmata, and it's like the demo, but with a ton more stuff - exactly what you want from "product." It looks sick and for a game asking you to do some Cirque du Soleil shit with your hands it maps to a controller in a way that feels solid. Gabe is playing it on PS5 Pro, the secondary Hacking inputs just map to the face buttons - I figured it would just be an easy remap on PC, that would certainly help Walter, but the way these perverts are navigating the hacking board on PC is with the Goddamn mouse. Just imagine it - picture that shit. These fiends hold down a key or "the back button on your mouse," and then scoot a cursor thingy through the grid. I want to try it just because it seems naughty. Dodgy, like. Type of shit that gets you put on a list.

Athena Vibes

When I named the strip, I was thinking about how Athena burst from her father's head - considering the bedevilments we had proposed in the strip. As I woke, I feared that there was a vibrator company called Athena and I was Goddamn right. You know how you can have a party where you sell candles or something to your friends? Right. This is like that, except it's for things you… things you put. Things that are and can be put in, like… Anyway, they have different things. For a place.
