People have been asking me for a while to do some sort of history-related stuff, and as it happens, Ubisoft has finally just released a new Assassin’s Creed that isn’t set in early modern Europe!

Thus, tomorrow, Alex and I will be streaming Assassin’s Creed: Origins as an excuse for me to go off on wild tangents about completely unrelated topics! It’ll be great and totally not a train wreck. Oh, and I hear the DRM Ubisoft is using can like, melt your PC or something, so that’ll be fun to explore.

Join us on the Twitch Channel at 3:30 PM Pacific, 6:30 PM Eastern, or 10:30 PM GMT.
