November 13, 2012 comes to a close, and here you are, reading Late Night Computing.

And that's one down. Finishing Assassin's Creed nearly made me late for work, but I had to hold on and finish the last cutscene. Not bad! I've tried to play the game several times in prior years and could never seem to make it to the first city before losing interest. This time was different, though, and I'm glad I stuck with it. Tropes and repetition aside, it's still a pretty decent game. Now, onto Assassin's Creed II tonight.
