Talkie Tuesday: Ubisoft Forward

 

As you guys can see, this week is just a little bit different all around!

 

So I may not be a big gamer myself - I mean, I don't even own a console and my PC is definitely NOT game approved lol, it tried valiantly and almost died one time so we said no in the end - but I really enjoy watching gameplays on Youtube (and have recently been getting into the Twitch streaming side of things).

 

Needless to say, it's amusing to watch these videos primarily because of the gamers behind them.

 

I mean, most of it is the gamer being chased around by massive monsters and shrieking their head off!

 

Listen, if you've never experienced that, you should, it's hysterical.

 

Overall though, I accidentally watched last year's Ubisoft Foward and actually caught the announcement trailer this year so thought to myself, why not try something out of the norm for this week's blog post?

 

And so here we are. Let's jump right into what went down during the event, shall we?

Tome Thursday: Desert Oath

Hello everyone!

For my last "regular" sort of book review before we dive right into all the Christmas stuff next week, I chose another game-related title.

As you may or may not remember, I became a big fan of Assassin's Creed when I accidentally stumbled over a gameplay on Youtube. Since then, I've gotten to about three quarters of both Odyssey and Origins, and need to just buckle down to finish the lot.

Shouldn't be too difficult.

In the meantime, however, I was delighted to find that the original Assassin's Creed novel content creator, Oliver Bowden, had written a prequel for his series.

Now I've had the rest of the books on a back burner for a bit, and haven't gotten around to reading them yet, so I may do it now with the holidays looming up ahead. However, this one can be read as a standalone, and you don't need to know what goes on in the other books to understand it.

We do run into fan favourites and characters from the game, though.

Don't fall down into a sand dune, it's time for Assassin's Creed Origins: Desert Oath.
