First of all, I like to inform that this post may contain what some people think as spoilers. So if you don't want spoilers... what the hell are you doing here? XD
The rise of this new dawn shines its light on our wiki projects, bringing awesomeness all over it.
To the news!
==Project: Aperture==
First, I would like to present to you the conclusion of [[User_blog:D. Cello/It's Wednesday, Wednesday, gettin down on wednesday...|Project APERTURE]]. After months of hard work that sweep through resources and dedications of all levels of wiki hierarchy, the main page portal has finally been completed. In honor of this awesome job, I'll give a brief history of its inception and list all the contributors that made it happen.
''2 months ago, we implemented a new main slider. It was just a addition of buttons, but a idea placed itself on my mind -- something was not right, we could do better. As a hand of destiny reached over ACWiki, I was contacted a day later by [[User:Animusradiation|Animusradiation]] with a prototype of a portal unlike anything I've ever seen before. In awe, I began working with him in secret. A couple of week later, we began to disclose it to select people on a need to know basis, and a month later, an official wiki announcement was made. The project was met with unanymous awe, the reception dubstruck by its sheer legendary awesomeness. And now, a month later, the project has been touched by the hands of our best's best (if that's even a methaporical sentence or gramatically correct) and Project APERTURE is born. Completed, finished, pronto."
We got a batchload of new videos of [[ACR|Revelations]] this week, so I'll keep the post short and just list them:
As such, I am listing below the names of all who were invaluable to this project. The '''Oscreed''' goes to:
* [http://www.youtube.com/user/assassinscreedUK?blend=1&ob=4#p/u/4/CAH_4nblxXo ACR Multiplayer -- Cinematic Trailer] -- Amazing video, I dare say Ubisoft is finally getting the hang of making videos XD
* [[User:Animusradiation|Animusradiation]] -- Lead Designer of Project Aperture. 100% responsible for graphics and art direction, and grandly executed.
* [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] -- Main coder of Project Aperture. Without him, I would never be able to assemble those images together. I was dumbstruck by what he did in short time, and I officially reccommend that his [[User:Assassin-Rayne|master]] promote him for his work here ^^ Y'feel me?
* [[User:Tierrie|Tierrie]] -- Head of DAWiki (one of our partners, [http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Age_Wiki check them out]) and creator of the portal system. His guidance with the inner workings of the portal and project ideas helped it become what it is.
Check out the main page if you haven't, and make sure to let us know what you think in the comments below!

The next videos were brought to my attention by [[User:ShermTank7272]] and were originally featured in [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:New_ACR_short_trailers_*possible_spoilers* this forum psot] right here on our lovely wiki ^^
Next we have the [[Project:Giveaway|giveaway]]! Already announced on the previous news post, I now have the honour to announce:

And go ahead and take another slap for making PC players wait for months. Yeah!)

Also, on a personal note, I would like to thank [[User:Ecthel013]] for giving me the link for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KdBoL4fMJc this awesome music that was on my head for days] -- he did what Google couldn't XD
Recently, I've been talking to two good friends of mine that I've know for over a year, [http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/User:SpartHawg948 SpartHawg] from [http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Mass_Effect_Wiki Mass Effect Wiki] and [http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/User:Tierrie Tierrie] from [http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Age_Wiki Dragon Age Wiki], both of which also happen to be leaders of their respective wikis, and due to all of our wikis being about great franchises that value gameplay and story above all else, and the fact we are three of the most legendary gaming wikis on the Wikia network and we all have a LOT of users and traffic, I approached then with the idea of creating a partner system, with the current aim of improving flow between wikis and making everyone grow even more, but also not closing doors to joint efforts in the future. They accepted and for a week or so already, we have all been brothers of the same wiki partnership ^^
And that is all for today! Post your comments below -- me and the staff want to hear your opinions! Safety and peace, and a good week to all!
But, I always like to keep moving things forward, and due to the fact that most users here on our lovely AC Staff are also editing or responsible for other wikis out there, the same door I opened for DA and ME was opened to them, and as such, ACWiki has a quite numerous list of gaming wikis we're associated with XD Now, I know that some of these games have nothing to do with AC, but when that happens, we must remember that everyone here is doing this by will and will alone -- nobody's getting anything off it. As such, the simple fact that we may help other wikis grow, even if we ourselves get nothing substantial is reason enough for us to do it. As such, follows a list of our current wiki partners!

==Podcast==
Recently, some of you may have heard that we tried a joint venture effort with Outcast Templars clan on a podcast, and I must say in behalf of my fellow wiki members that were part of it that we were somewhat dissapointed by the event. This is not the place or time to complain about things, but the lack of organization and effort to exectue it gave us the push to make our own podcast happen. More news will come along the road as we get things done, and when they do, info will appear [[Assassin's Creed Wiki:Podcast|on this page]] (and also be news announced, so don't worry XD No need to check that page daily =P)

That ends our news posts.<br />
Now, on a personal note, I would like to thank [[User:Ecthel013]] for shining a light on the song that has been on my head, driving me crazy for days. The song is '''"Familiar Stranger"''' by ''Justin Williams'' and can be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KdBoL4fMJc heard here] and is avaiable on iTunes [http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/familiar-stranger/id408571376 here]. I never had heard from this guy, but he seems to be really good and the few people who know him agree with that. Anyway, for anyone with a taste in music, check that out! ^^ Thank you very much for helping me find that song, folks!
And that is all for today. Post your comments below -- me and the staff want to hear your opinions! Safety and peace, and a good week to all!
