About me
My interest in the Assassin's Creed universe began when an otherwise unnotable relative gave me a copy of Assassin's Creed for my birthday a few years back. I was entranced the moment I started playing, loving the tale of a creepy corporation, a disgruntled bartender, and his eyewateringly deadly great-grand-something. The plot twist at the end left me completely, irrredeemably, stunned.
What with life, the universe, and a bunch of other stuff, I lost track of Assassin's Creed until late 2010, when I- on a strange whim- excavated my bank account to buy Assassin's Creed 2. It was as epic as I had hoped it would be, leaping, slashing and gondola-stealing my way through a twisted web of vengeance.
After perfecting my one-two combo on the most powerful man in the Western world, I waited in a fevered daze for a year or so for Brotherhood to come out. I was- mostly- not disappointed. I thought the story was solid and enjoyable but unremarkable- with the exceptions of Cesare Borgia and the Da Vinci Disappearance DLC. Gameplay-wise, the combat was great looking and fast paced but at times felt almost too effortless- there weren't many generic enemies that couldn't be defeated with three seconds of manic key-tapping, with the honourable exception of the Papal Guards.
As for Revelations, I don't have it yet- although what I've read looks encouraging. I intend to buy it in the very near future.
Outside of the Creed, my hobbies/interests include, in no particular order, Great Literature, writing, soccer, running, philosophy, history- especially Roman and Cold War periods. I am utterly useless at maths- except mental arithmetic- but am pretty darn good at English. I am/was writing an apocalyptic-ish novel but have put this on hold after (I think) 7,000 words. My favourite writer is Haruki Murakami, my tastes in music include Moby, Miles Davis, Ahmad Jamal, Steely Dan and Gorillaz. I am a high school student.
2 weird/interesting things about me:
1. I have two signed copies of Michael Palin's travel books. It's true- he really is Britain's Nicest Man.
2. I was one word away from going to the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Are there any other New Zealanders out there in the AC wiki community? I know Il Lupo is Australian... which is pretty close but not quite the same.
