I write video game narrative critiques for YouTube. People sometimes fall asleep to them.
okay so make sure you have a full quiver of arrows, equip them, attack, then mid-attack animation, enter your portfolio and unequip the arrows. you should get an error message, that's good. now drop whatever stock you're trying to duplicate.

we'll be dining in Rosethorn Hall by week's end
If you really want to see Oblivion this week, just check your 401k!!!!!

If your YT viewing experience gets noticeably worse in May, this might be why--new, "optimized ad opportunities".

I place midroll ads manually every 25-30ish minutes, at natural breaks, because if I let YT do it automatically they try to do a midroll every eight minutes. I like money, but blegh.

So on the way out of the Vatican with Mario in AC: Brotherhood, you'll pass some cardinals in prayer. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

The more I learn about Cesare Borgia the more I think AC: Brotherhood gives us the least interesting interpretation of him. He's constantly described as brilliant, this book describes his lifestyle as "blatantly secular", and then there's this little romp when he was supposed to be a hostage:

Dragonborn is live! Next up is Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, which might be my favorite game of the Ezio trilogy to play, but I think the story kind of collapses in the back half. Should be fun to pick through the pieces though!

workshopping a thesis connecting the absurd ubiquity of wicked ads to the same misunderstanding of the average american that lost democrats the election. give it a folksy title and this video essay does numbers.
