ChariflamePlease don't ask me how many times I reloaded my save to get a perfect score. I didn't even know there was a trophy, or a reward, so it was a pleasant surprise to have my time validated at least!
The trophy (Dancing Queen) does not seem to require a perfect score, only above a certain threshold, so getting a perfect score is not strictly necessary for it.

I just really wanted to get that perfect score again..!

A fun foreshadowing for how heavily that song would be featured in this DLC, and a nice little wrap-up at the end of it. A drifting tender, come ride heroes ride!FFXIV Endwalker - Friends Gathered Dinner Scene (Thancred Dialogue Options)Chariflame2021-12-23 | Nothing particularly groundbreaking, I just thought all three dialogue options with Thancred were very charming!

Look at his happy little spin!FFXIV - Greetings from Invincible Stuck Grass RaptorChariflame2021-04-05 | A Grass Raptor that got stuck in a cliff and is now immortal. The first instance of this was on Excalibur (Primal) and had hundreds of people partying around it, just like the smooth rock months previous. This fellow ended up on Cactuar (Aether), and thus was rather quiet... Seems like this is an inevitable collision glitch in a specific location, for the time being.FFXIV - Greetings from Smooth Unrendered RockChariflame2020-12-21 | Not a cell phone or texture in sight, just people living in the moment.Assassins Creed Valhalla - Eivor & Basim Campfire SceneChariflame2020-11-26 | From the Cent arc. Damn, those performances.Assassins Creed Valhalla - Returning to Heillboer (Eivors Home)Chariflame2020-11-24 | At any point in the game you can return to Eivor's childhood home, which suffers a grim fate in the game's opening scenes. There's no real incentive to do so (asides from a small bit of treasure), which means what you do find there feels a lot more emotional and poignant for it. Cecilie Stenspil really shines as Eivor's actress during quiet moments like these.Assassins Creed Valhalla - Fishing (Pre-Release)Chariflame2020-07-14 | In the lead-up to Ubisoft Forward, I had the great pleasure of being able to play 3 hours of Assassin's Creed Valhalla. This pre-release build of the game featured the East Anglia area of the map.
Here's some fishing footage. There's not much more to say on this one. Fishing rules. According to the developers, there'll be lots of different kinda of fish to catch!
Many thanks to Ubisoft for the opportunity!

This pre-release build of the game featured the East Anglia area of the map.
I know for sure that others will have cleaner and more exciting fights with this optional boss encounter, but honestly, I was eager to try it just because of the context of it's inclusion! The black shuck is a myth specific to East Anglia, the small portion of England this video takes place in. It's a ghostly black dog that is more often than not seen as an ill omen. Do give it a search if you're curious about the legends behind it! It's fun to see such location-specific local lore included in this game.
The combat is fun, but as you can tell, I wasn't the best at it, at first.

A puzzle I found down by the coast. After triggering it, the player has to line up the camera angle to properly view the rune that is displayed. Super cool! It reminded me of some of the glyph-based puzzles in earlier games, which is right up my alley.

This pre-release build of the game featured the East Anglia area of the map.
This is a puzzle found in the open world, in which Eivor stacks rocks to build a cairn. Since prehistoric times, cairns have been used by many cultures to serve as waymarks, memorials, pieces of art, and more. They're particularly prevalent in a lot of Scandinavian cultures, so it's nice to see that Valhalla might feature these as a way to explore some of Eivor's story and heritage.

This pre-release build of the game featured the East Anglia area of the map.
Here's a small preview of the stories and songs your crew can regale you with while on your longship. Similarly to Black Flag and Odyssey, you can flip through a variety of songs. In this preview there's one with singing, which judging by the lyrics, is an original song written for the game. Also, you can switch to hear stories from your crew instead.

This is a compilation of footage I took flying around the playable area as Synin, Eivor's raven companion. It works very similarly to similar features in Origins and Odyssey - you can use Synin to mark enemies, locations, and waypoints - but asides from the gameplay value, it gives a great excuse to take in the landscape and beauty of the world. Valhalla's rendition of England is stunning, and I hope you can sit back, relax, and enjoy this small peek at it.

Otso Berg)Chariflame2014-12-12 | All of the audio files from Assassin's Creed Rogue, unlocking by hacking Abstergo computers during the game in the same manner as in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Expertly narrated by Otso Berg, a character introduced to the series in 2012 but only just debuting in the games now. Files are played in intended chronological order, rather than in the order they are unlocked.
This doesn't cover the entire modern day plot in Rogue; there are unlockable documents, as well as some fantastic cutscenes. If you're looking for those, have a poke around the internet... or y'know, buy the game.

I was trying to do a whole year. I managed to get through 3 whole months though, that's an achievement.
I had a lot of fun while I was filming it though, and I'm happy with the footage I do have. I just ran out of motivation and interesting things to film... Although I'm sure my friends won't miss my daily exclamations of "oh wait, I need to film my 1 sec!"Mass Effect - RTFMChariflame2012-02-24 | Don't worry Liara, I didn't know what he meant at first either.

[Mumbles Something]Assassins Creed: Unlock The Animus - DNA Sequencing Completion MessageChariflame2011-11-08 | Message from Shaun (Danny Wallace) once you've submitted your details after the completition of the DNA Sequencing in Unlock The Animus... Very interesting. The countdown displayed after this is just a countdown to when Revelations is released.
I've seen that many people aren't getting onto the detail entry screen (and thus this message) after completing the sequencing; my best guess right now is that illegible participants are being blocked due to this being a UK-only competition. There are some UKers getting the same problem, but I'm assuming these are some bugs that need to be ironed out. Good luck, fellow assassins!SCIENCE!Chariflame2011-04-16 | He is the best dork ever.Assassins Creed: Brotherhood - Whoops...Chariflame2010-11-29 | I didn't remove my Helmschmied Drachen armour costume before starting the Cristina missions, so it didn't change to Ezio's Florentine Noble outfit... which meant 40-something year old Ezio was being a silly noob with a 17-year old's voice. Hilariously adorable.
The Helmschmied Drachen was available in selected Collector's Editions of Brotherhood (in my case, the Codex Edition) but it, and the other CE exclusives like the MP characters, are available with the Da Vinci Dissapearance DLC. Please stop asking.London MCM Expo October 2010 - Roger Craig Smith on Ezios ItalianChariflame2010-11-03 | At this Expo's Sunday Voice Actor Panel, somebody asked Roger Craig Smith (voice of Ezio, Chris Redfield, Sonic) how he managed with the Italian dialogue and auditions in Assassin's Creed II/Brotherhood. He started by saying that there was help via an Italian girl in the studio, but I hit record too late.
Skip to 0:20 if you just want to hear him say something in Ezio's voice.
Sorry about the dodgy audio quality, another part of the Expo started a Japanese drum presentation right as the panel started. It was deafening. The actors rolled with it though, which was great.
