Quantcast



The first thing you'll notice about this video is how I sound like my voice is about to turn into a frog. That's because I was sick as Hell when I recorded it. Still, I bravely soldiered on to produce the video, with a little help from our very own Rey Gutierrez, since I've been in Miami.

This week, I have been creating the video on the brand new computer of greatness that I have received. It allowed me to be a bit more adventurous with editing, even though the software I got was borked so the size has come out a tiny bit smaller than Viddler's player. Still, it's in actual HD this week, so progress has been made!

Oh, and I should also note that the script for this episode is horribly juvenile. I do not apologize in advance.

Thank you Viddler for being a piece of fucking shit and going down at the exact moment this was due to go live. I appreciate it so very much.

I took a photograph of the viddler screen telling me it's loading video information and "do not believe its lies" on the back.

The song at the end freaked me the hell out once I started hearing Hit me baby one more time in it.

Audio quality has been shat on, but good ep. Need to stop wasting time hoping something's going to happen at the end though...

I questioned the necessity of that terrible XcoverX until about a minute of non-stop lady punching.

I love August Burns Red, but not that cover XD. Still funny for the vid, though. I just bought the original Assassin's Creed yesterday...so I was messing around and I realized exactly how hilarious an AC VGSWID vid would be. And what do you know, BAM THERE IT IS

Yeah, audio was horrible there. I've just put the superior Youtube version up.

This episode was my favoritest ever but it was hard to follow because I did not see the assassins creed 1 episode.

Hahahaha. That's the most metalist rendition of a totally not metal song.

Was funny til you stopped talking and made me listen to it though.

Did Ubisoft test the AI in cases where you beat the shit out of civilians? Because no one seemed to care.

Lol at running your horse over the bridge.

This was a very entertaining segment, Jim. Thanks for another good show. Also, the gameplay looks pretty fun, I'm glad you can still attack civilians.

is it just me or did those air punches and air head butts really make you feel like you were watching a cheap old b movie with a really bad fight scene ?

great video as always, but holy crap beating people in the streets made the game look like crap. you seemingly held onto the women by invisible strings attached to their faces and nobody even gave a damn about you attacking people, even when they themselves were the victims!

The commentary here wasn't as great as some of your others, but the 2 minutes after the credits almost made up for it. And the Uncle Reg shit is still a bit stale and forced.

August Burns Red is shit, but I loved that montage at the end. Ironically, of course.

would it be too much to ask for some sort of Uncle Reg warning in the synopsis, the "horribly juvenile" bit helps but isn't that apart of every VGSWID?

I think Jade Raymond would still be hot if she wasn't affiliated with video games in any way.

I also agree that the space between Altair (is that the guy?) and the people he beats up is laughably huge.

You're stupid.

You bitch about realism when was the last time you actually had a 'realistic' experience in a videogame? Probably GTA am I wrong? And I could list you 20 things off the top of my head that aren't at all true to real life in that game.
If anything say it's not believable, but then you'd be wrong there too because
who's really gonna fuck with this crazy KKK lookin bastard, seriously? so there's some of that 'realism' for ya.

Your sad, whiny little twats yall are. Being able to beat the shit out of civilians- a downside...wow....wow

I didn't even know you could do those kind of melee moves in AC2! As soon as my assignments are done, I'm going to be all over it.
