Live by the Creed


Yeah. It's been for months since I've posted. You know what? I'm not gonna apologize. I have a life. How many of you can say that?

Aaaaaanyways... I've been really into Live by the Creed lately. If you haven't checked it out yet, do it now, it's worth your time:

Anyone that played 1191ad or Prince of Persia Swordsmen will get the idea... it's practically tradition at Ubisoft these days. And quite a good tradition at that -- the amount of crap I've purchased with my valuable time from Ubisoft over the last few years, the shameless advertising I did for the sake of a three inch figurine... it's simply outstanding!

Basically, Ubisoft posts stuff you can do, like draw characters or write stories, and they give you points (florins in this case) for your hard work. You spend those delicious, delicious florins on random (but still very awesome!) swag available on the website. It's a great way to obsess over the latest game while also earning some sweet souvenirs along the way!

Turns out I have ulterior motives for posting this, though... gotta complete one of those selfsame missions, and I get more florins if I post my completed work on a website of my choosing. What better place than my own video game blog? Seems like a pretty sweet deal to me!

You can see my final project up there... the Doges "invitation". Pretty cool, right? No? Screw off. I have florins and you don't.
