The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

Lisa was great, but I completely understand her point of view.

Joey - congratulations! Well deserved.

Wait, so I owe him $5???

I will be going on a business trip to Baltimore, Maryland later this month. It's my first time in the area so I intend to visit Washington D.C. for at least one day. If you have any favorite places to visit or eat in Baltimore/Washington, I'm open to suggestions.

JoeyFogey has been promoted to Editor and will manage the site while I'm away. He has already wielded his new super powers to front-page a video!

I've only been to DC once. The Air and Space museum was my favorite of anything we did, but you can't go wrong with any of the Smithsonian Museums.

Also, if we play Where in the world is Stabguy? then we all have a supreme advantage now.

That would have been the shortest Where in the World game ever:

Quoth the Raven?
"Baltimore!"

I guess I'll have to make one for my 2 week trip in August then... I'll even give it an Assassin's Creed slant when possible.

Go to the Inner Harbor and have seafood. Maryland has the best crab in the world, and you can get this made in a million different ways. If you like any type of seafood, that's the best place in the world to eat. Ask someone at the hotel for suggestions on a good local place. Don't get roped into going to a chain restaurant.

pssh. yeah. if you like your crab puny and blue. west coast dungeness crab is where it's at!

but i don't need to tell stabguy. he spent time in seattle, if memory serves...

I'm actually staying in the Inner Harbor! The company I'm visiting wanted to book me in the hotel nearest their campus in the suburbs. stabgal found a great deal on a historic Baltimore hotel. I was already planning to have some crab cakes but, yeah, a million different crab recipes sounds good.

Back in Seattle we got plenty of Dungeness crab. On one family vacation we spent a night in Port Angeles, near the town of Dungeness. The thing I remember about it is this crazy Y-shaped sand bar called the Dungeness Spit:

Just a heads up: I'm constantly working on something either at work (which is where I am right now) or at home, so watching video content on here isn't my top priority. It's easier to read through text to check for spam or inappropriate subject matter. So if you guys are wondering why a brilliant video isn't front paged immediately, that's why. Feel free to say, "Hey this really needs to be front paged!" to get my attention to it quicker.

Now you're starting to sound like Stabguy.

That's what it takes to make it into management around here... apathy.

I'm going back to Baltimore next week. This time I will be traveling alone and staying at a boring hotel in the suburbs. At least it's next door to an awesome steakhouse!

Joey will be monitoring the site continuously. He sprained his ankle and has nothing better to do.

Well, I mean, even without the sprained ankle I think that statement applies...

Someone is looking to get banned.

I have a couple more business trips coming up: St. Louis the week of June 5 and Dallas the week of September 18. If a trip to Detroit comes up this year then I can complete the shit-hole trifecta.

Didn't you already go to Baltimore?

Good point. I guess I don't consider Baltimore a shit-hole because we stayed in the Inner Harbor area and only saw the nicer parts of town.

The Inner Harbour is Baltimore's way of distracting everyone from the rest of the city. Kind of like the Vegas strip, "look at the shiny lights, but don't wander too far".

Reminder: I will be in Dallas all next week. The site has been pretty quiet lately. It must be the calm before AC: Origins storm...

GameStop called and said my Assassin's Creed: Origins will be ready for pick up on Thursday, October 26, at 6 PM local time. That's earlier than usual. My guess is they're releasing it simultaneously across the country at midnight EDT.

I won't have long to play it though because we're going on vacation October 29 through November 15. Mostly we'll be visiting family in West Virginia and Washington state, with a few days in Chicago just for fun.

Somebody volunteer to document the main assassination targets please. For each we need the target's full name, the city in which the assassination occurs, and the sequence number.

I'll watch it for ya...

I'm back online! Seriously. I've been traveling four of the last six weeks. First it was Orlando and then Australia. Joey has been doing a fantastic job managing the site considering what's going on in his personal life. Take a break, buddy. I've got this.
