This quick developer’s diary — which also includes some new gameplay footage and a few character designs — mentions two major additions to the game, which is shopping and the underworld. For the former, you can pick everyone’s pocket, and buy whatever weapons and tools you need at any point. For the latter, you hang with thieves, “courtesans” and mercenaries, who help you by distracting or outright fighting the city guards, and you help them with missions. I’m pretty damn excited, because I really, really liked the first Assassin’s Creed, and the sequel looks like a marked improvement. But I also love this video for pretty much saying “we’ve added money and whores to the game” and no one in the video seems to have noticed.

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
