It's been raining for the past week. Like, non-stop. Dog is displeased with this state of affairs. Towns up north are being flooded out. I never thought I would miss the searing light of the sun, but oh god humidity.

So let's have ourselves some meme answers and then go find a blanket.

I was going to post this gigantic gamebabble post for Australia Day but the koala round-up went for longer than it usually does this year. I dunno, man, they’re quick little bastards.

So, about that Assassin’s Creed 2.

( I have plenty of outlets! Spoilers for the opening. )

Many eons ago, I was given a letter and told to upload five or more songs starting with that letter, and let nobody say I do not eventually get the job done! If you give me, like. A few months, maybe.

This letter was given to me by thebaconfat, and it was the letter O. You can request one in the comments, if you like!

Auuuuugh I'm a fangirl, and I don't even want to be.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have come to a revelation.

Now consider Assassin's Creed.

It:

- Is very smart.

- Is equally stupid.
