This image makes me laugh.

There are two interpretations of this that make me laugh, but I doubt either of them are true.

1) All the guys that aren't Connor are working the same job, and the lad hanging by his leg "accidentally" fell, IE his friends tied his leg and threw him off. "Whoops! Thompson fell again!" "VERY FUNNY, LADS, NOW HELP ME UP."

2) they aren't all on the same job, and those guys are actually bandits/outlaws/whathave you. They tried to hang the guy... and instead got his leg. They get the award "You Tried."

[up][up] Get a retail version. Problem solved.

I have another problem though. A workmate ordered some special editions (I think it's the Freedom Edition) to sell them and offered me one for the same price he paid. I'm not sure whether to accept. On one hand, 100€ is a lot of money, on the other hand, the extras are pretty nifty and it's "just" 40€ more than I would pay, if I bought the normal version...

Retail prices are absurd in Australia.

I'll just dl it during offpeak hours or something, it's just a little inconvenient that's all.

The extras seem pretty swish and worth the money, from my end I don't have the equivalent of 40 Euros to spare, I could get a whole other game for that which I would personally value more than the extra stuff in AC 3's freedom edition but I guess it's just an issue of how strapped for cash you are and whether you have 40 Euros to spare.

This image◊ makes me laugh.
I think Connor killed the guy and is used the Rope Dart to hang him there, and all his friends are crowding round trying to figure out what's going on. Leaving Connor to kill them while they're distracting.

You know, just like Arkham Asylum?

It's not over. Not yet.

Now that is a good use for it. I suspect I will resort to the tried and tested methods most of the other times.

Same here. Still, nice for those who haven't jumped onto the franchise yet, but are interested. ...and on PS 3.

What the hell is with these publishers, lately? Ubisoft does the Ezio Trilogy, and EA does the Mass Effect Trilogy right before Wii U launches, with its brand new market for these games, and neither takes advantage of it.

I'm frankly not surprised that they didn't set this for release on the Wii U yet.

AC 3 is getting special support for integrating the gamepad, AC 2-R haven't gotten that support.

But I do not understand why EA isn't re-versioning ME 1 and 2 for the Wii U, since they're already porting ME 3.

Considering that the trilogy will also come out on PS 3, I highly doubt that.

Looks like Connor instigated the Boston Tea Party. Wanna bet that the Brit Templars were smuggling something into the colonies among the tea?

~Imagines an Apple being in the shipment~

No, because then it would be easy for the Templars to fish the Apple from the sea. And why would they bringing an Apple into the US? They'd try to sneak it out.

I'm betting advanced weaponry, which would be ruined by being immersed in sea water.

Which would imply that either he acquires it from Connor or Connor attempts to take it from him. It's hard to see, at any rate, how there could be an Apple and Connor not be involved with it somehow.

It's funny how Ubisoft seems to be going out of its way to ignore the Meta Plot in all of the marketing... almost to the point of absurdity.

[up][up] Maybe they want the new meta-plot developments to be a surprise. I'm really interested to find out what happens with the Grand Temple and Desmond's father.

As much as I generally dislike the AC metaplot, I have to admit that I'm curious too.

I can't quite hear this one line in that Boston Tea Party trailer. Are they saying "there was another revolution, one that mattered?"

If true I'm assuming that means they're implying the American Revolution was rigged and essentially staged, presumably by the Templars?

Which isn't entirely unlike many other Templar plots, I'm just surprised it's implied in an offhand line after generally avoiding the Assassin/Templar war for the bulk of AC 3's marketing.
