It Will Destroy You, Child.
I bought my copy of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood second-hand from GAME. It has a barcode sticker on the manual labelling it 'ASS CREED BROTHERHOOD'.
I really enjoyed the sequence with Desmond and Lucy trying to find a way into the villa at the beginning. Their dynamic is pretty cute. Although I'm predisposed to look favourably upon it, given that Desmond has Nathan Drake's voice actor and Lucy looks a bit like Elena Fisher.
(Their dynamic is not as great as the Nate/Elena dynamic, but what is?)
I mainly enjoyed that sequence, of course, because of this:
Desmond: You know, when I last came here...
Lucy: When Ezio came here.
Desmond: Yeah, I meant Ezio.
MORE OF THIS, PLEASE.
According to the e-mails between Rebecca and Lucy, Desmond has been screaming in his sleep. More of that as well.
(I kept thinking I was hearing whispering during the first few missions, and at one point, when I was in Eagle Vision, I could almost swear I heard a muffled sinister laugh. But I can't say with certainty that I didn't imagine those things. I'm all for Desmond slowly losing his mind, game, but you're starting to make me feel like I'm losing mine.)
If you, like me, have some level of affection for Homestuck but have been largely ignoring the officially endorsed series of fancomics Paradox Space, I want to let you know that 'Summerteen Romance' is well worth checking out! It is a comic about Karkat Vantas's 'coming-of-age romantic dramedy screenplay', as read by Dave Strider, and it is exactly as terrible-stroke-priceless as that description implies.
The dynamic between Dave and Karkat is a lot of fun; they're both such little shits, but in completely different ways. Dave has a carefully constructed 'arsehole' persona; Karkat has a short temper and an incredibly fragile ego, so it's very easy to make him explode with rage, and (of course) Dave delights in doing so. But there's still a fondness between them, deep down. You don't show your screenplay to someone whose opinion you don't care about, after all.
