UPDATE: No-one entered, so no-one won! I blame those kids who smoke behind the bike sheds…

Well if the title of the post doesn’t give the oh so cryptic message of the post away, then surely the elaborate ruse that is the post content will shed some light on the matter, unless you’re thicker than the village idiot.

This is what you get for forcing us to open casinos across America…

Since the inception of Ubisoft’s free-running, hoodie-wearing, hidden-blade-using-a-lot-to-stab-people long running series, Assassin’s Creed, (the first game of which so far has been the only actual entry of the series to have any remarks on this very digital tome of justice back in 2008, the review of which you can find here), there have been several further iterations of said game, a few with that lovable Italian fellow by the name of of Ezio Audi da Fiat Punto, who shows he is a hit with the ladies as much as he hurts people with various pointy objects.

Then we moved onto the adventures of the latest assassin, Ratonhnhaké:ton (say that when you’re sober) or Connor, who during the course of Assassin’s Creed 3, it seems he turned out to be a bit of a disappointment to his father who got it on with a overly friendly Indian (native-american, not people who are better than us at Cricket sometimes probably) lady, as Connor basically was the colour beige in human form. Who killed people. So beige with the odd hint of “rouge.”

Given that Ubisoft saw that the father, a Mr. Haytham Kenway was the far more interesting character who also had excellent taste to do someone in at the English National Opera (as did everyone else), this week Ubisoft leaked-or-just-told-everyone-anyway that we have a new instalment set with Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean with another of the Kenway family. Yo-ho and whatever blows a man down in a non-sexual way.

That said, with a glint in his eye, and a finger up one nose, my first mate on this epic digital ship of destiny, as I watched the latest video with them internets pulls me to one side, away from the bloodshot eyes of the mutinous crew (or just the guys that hang around various park benches in Shepherds Bush. Which is sort of like that town in the films Tortuga, come to think of it…)

He says “Captain”, and I says “aye?” He says “you know those land lubbers with them fancy boxes that does magic?” and I says “You mean PCs, given this is the 21st century and you’re taking like a prat?”

“Aye!” he says. He further goes on to says “Why don’t we give em a chance to walk away with some free booty and also bring them to our shores to hear more of our tales of cleaning the bog out?”

“What possible treasure would they be wanting?” says I, “This vessel of oohsometimes, barely has a scrap of rum aboard. Which is good, mainly as I don’t like rum.”

Bring me Peter Pan…no wait, it’s too early for all the pirate gags…

“Well you know that you’ve been writing about this here creed thing?” says he, “Why don’t you give them that there chance to be that fella who is about as interesting as counting how many matches are in a box of matches?”

“You mean give someone the chance to become a bloke who doesn’t look like he’s going to feature in the series any more aside from some far more interesting DLC which is £8 a pop?” says I.

“Aye” says he.

And so we finally come to the Animus of the matter, which was pretty much given away in the title of this very post.
