The page for the picture, with NSFW ads.
"Yee's proposal is exactly the sort of thing I would expect some Washington legal eagle to do. In fact, it could even be argued it would be unrealistic to not have a scene in the next book of, say, a Congressman Yee submit the Yee Act for consideration. :D" - bcoogler on this

On a related note, I'm surprised there aren't more Mario Bros/ Assassin's Creed two amalgam fanarts. I mean, Mario says 'It'sa me! Mario!' and everything. That's just BEGGING for mockery.

And yes, the DRM is absolutely suck, Molyneux. Getting rid of it is by far the best thing a user can do to make the game playable.
It doesn't get rid of the occasional CTD, but it helps.
The way autosave on AC2 works is weird. If you start a misison, then get money, or a collectible or someesuch midmission, then 'desynch' or the game crashes, you lose all mission progress, but keep your money or items. Though I think it only works for money for chests.

For the record, PC game still gets you Uplay points.

Master Assassin Ezio chan and her magical companion dog Leonardo are hilarious and creepy all at once.

You're right, I totally neglected to read the part where it said he was a boy. Traptacular.

Umm, you know that's a shoutout, right? Like, really obviously clearly intentional because everybody knows the line and they just couldn't help themselves? There's a difference between groaning, which is warranted because it's just silly*, and mockery.


*Me: You played ahead? So what happened?
DP: Ezio just brought his mother and sister to his uncle's house. Uncle Mario.
Me: Oh no, they didn't.
DP: 'It'sa me! Mario!'
DPDarkPrimus is my boyfriend!

SDNW4 Nation: The Refuge And, on Nova Terra, Al-Stan the Totally and Completely Honest and Legitimate Weapons Dealer and Used Starship Salesman slept on a bed made of money, with a blaster under his pillow and his sombrero pulled over his face. This is to say, he slept very well indeed.

Oh, I know full well it was intentional. They couldn't have not known. I'm just saying I figured they knew they were tempting fate by putting their groaner of an homage in and I'm surprised so few folks responded with affectionate ribbing/ mockery in the form of fanart.
