Requiescat in pace.

As absurd as it all is, the plot to Assassin's Creed is still very engaging, especially the story of Ezio. Sure it has it's crazy conspiracy plot line, it's highly implausible assassination practices, as well as some crazy scifi nonsense to boot, but I'd be some kind of cynic if I didn't find it interesting. And not in the same way that Michael Bay Transformers can be "interesting", but in one of those ways where... where you see a man jump off the tip of a high tower, landing into a stack of fresh hay, then popping right out like nothing happened, and you think to yourself how highly impossible that is, but for some reason you are willing to let it slide. Sure, I'll believe that. Like I'll believe modern society is under the influence of the Templars, or that there's some sort of DNA strand or something that can be accessed to relive your ancestor's life, or that dressing flamboyantly is ok for an assassin as long as he or she is wearing a hood. It's THAT engaging. No one is going to tell me Leonardo Da Vinci isn't an awkward and silly man, who happens to be buddies with an Italian assassin! Not on my watch! Because I'm clearly watching... something... Didn't know where I was going with that. Clearly I was going nowhere.
