My Stuff, Rants, Raves, Gaming, Just Whatever

Well I'm a college student, majoring in history with a philosophy minor. This blog is basically just whatever the fuck I feel like posting. There is no order to my madness. I tend to post everything from Doctor Who to Sherlock to Assassins Creed to politics, etc. And speaking of which, I do tend to get somewhat political, and like to voice my opinion on certain topics. If my opinion offends you in anyway, shape or form, then that is your issue. Hell, the whole title of my blog is my rants and raves. Browse at your own risk.

If I am against white supremacy and Nazism does that make me Antifa? But then if I am against Antifa does that make me a Nazi and white supremacist? What if I'm just against hate groups in general?

Future Videos

I’ve so far gotten 4 videos up on my channel, with my first being about the Villar Perosa machine gun in Battlefield 1, followed by David Brewster in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, and then another Battlefield 1 video on the Battle of Cambrai of 1917.  I just recently put up my 4th, taking a look at the Pazzi Conspiracy in Assassin’s Creed II.  

Before making this channel, I started to do a little bit of research into various topics that appeared in both the Assassin’s Creed games, and Battlefield 1.  While I have quite a bit to work with in just those two games alone, I would like to expand into other games eventually and look at the historical events that inspired them.  One such game is The Order 1886, which while it is set in a steampunk Victorian England, and has you fight vampires and werewolves, is still based on historical elements which I eventually want to take a look at.  

For now though, with just the two games series I do have plenty of content to work with.  At the moment I am researching both the Arditi special forces units in Battlefield 1, and the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453.  One of these I hope to get into video very soon.  Though I have found the Assassin’s Creed videos to be a little bit harder to edit and get gameplay of, as I never know what makes interesting gameplay in these games.  Battleifled 1 is easy enough.  

That’s all for the update today, hopefully I may have more tomorrow, or something small at least.

New Blog and YouTube Channel

So I’ve been busy which is why I’ve neglected this side blog of mine. It became too much to research and write long essays on various people in the Assassins Creed universe. Not to mention life took me in other directions. But I have returned somewhat. I’ve created a new YouTube channel called The Video Game Historian where I’ve been making videos and talking about the real history behind events in games like Assassins Creed. I recommend to you all to check it out.

Along with that I also created a new Blog where I will be posting all my videos as I release them along with updates about my progress and the project I’m working on currently. So I also recommend following that blog as well as I will be discontinuing my main and side blogs here for quite some time. I will no longer be the Historical Assassin but now the Video Game Historian.

New Blog and YouTube Channel. Please follow and check it out!

Wanted to post this once again.

https://www.tumblr.com/blog/thevideogamehistorian

Hey everyone, so a few months ago, I started a YouTube channel, where I post gameplay videos and commentary explaining what the real historical events that are featured in video games are all about.  I decided to try and promote my channel here, so I started a whole new blog to do so.  Please follow me at my new home - The Video Game Historian.  At the moment, I haven’t had the chance to put anything up, but I hope to change that soon with a few of my videos up on there.

I’ll be using that blog to post up to date information on my videos, taking questions, and suggestions for future videos, along with posting my videos directly to there from YouTube.  So please go check it out and follow my new account!

I sometimes think I'm one of a few who still believes that you can still achieve your goals and dreams. All it takes is hard work, dedication, perseverance, patience, and never giving up. The American Dream is still alive, and no matter who you are, where you're from, you can still succeed in this world and go far.

This is the person they are rioting for. This is the person they are destroying Milwaukee for. A career criminal who pointed a gun with 23 rounds at the Officer and refused to put the gun down. This is what our Law Enforcement has to deal with. God Bless Them #BlueLivesMatter #BackTheBlue

I am so glad the DNC is finally over. I am so sick of how high on a pedestal democrats on my social media feeds believe they are. Also sick and tired of hearing how corrupt Hillary is going to be the next president because she's a woman. Even with all the evidence leaking out of her email servers people still want to defend her. There is nothing you can say or do that would ever make me vote for her. I'm honestly more afraid of a Clinton presidency than a Trump presidency.

Reblog the fuck out of this

[opafginger-deactivated20170623]

Chalk up 4 more for Benghazi.

[outlaw-chaos]

Hillary wants stricter gun control but look at all those people who died from apparent gun shot wounds. H is for hypocrite

[bad-luck-and-trouble-deactivate]

Exactly

[outlaw-chaos]

She wants stricter laws for people with mental illnesses. Is she talking about herself included ooooor?

[bad-luck-and-trouble-deactivate]

I really hope she gets indicted

[zucca101]

Reblog this every single time you see it.

Especially you, Bernie supporters. Your boy was bought and paid for by the Clinton machine.

Also, let us ad John Ashe to the list. The U.N. official who was to testify against her and was found with his neck mysteriously crushed.

Pokemon Go

Everyone is on the Pokemon Go train as if its the best game ever. Me on the other hand is of the unpopular opinion that the game is a terrible. I tried giving it a try a few times but every time I did, I closed the app within 15 minutes. I don't know how anyone can find this game fun, I was bored to tears within minutes. Is the entire point of the game just walking around with your phone out looking like an idiot trying to find these virtual creatures in the real world? Or is there more? To me it just seemed like this was it. Waste as much time as possible trying to collect more virtual creatures than your friends. Sure there are gyms but what's the point of them? Is there even battling, the staple of the series? Is this all the game offers? If so, it seems quite pointless. Sure the augmented reality is a cool concept....if you have a phone where it works on. I don't know. I don't understand the appeal of the game. I tried giving it a chance but it was simply terrible and something I did not have fun with.

California Bill Would Ultimately Erase Religious Schools

Proponents of Senate Bill 1146 say they need to give students grounds to sue religious schools for teaching their religion, because ‘discrimination.’

Social Justice Authoritarians found that it’s better to use the courts to destroy people who use wrongthink, and sue them into oblivion. Fewer martyrs, fewer headlines.

[titania-harbinger]

No, its because these schools actively teach things that detrimental to their own lives as well as society. They dint teach actual science, but instead propose multiple “theories” (if you can even call it that) which further splits our society.

There us a difference between “wrong think” and wrong education.

[kramerllama]

Really?  Because I went to Catholic school for 5 years, and was never taught any of these things.  We were taught biology, evolution, science, chemistry, physics, history, English, literature of classical authors, secondary languages, art, and everything else you probably learned in school as well.  Is this wrong education?  Our theology classes never taught us theories, they never taught us creation is true and evolution is a lie.  Theology classes taught us a better understanding of our religion.  We broke down our religion, and studied it for what it was, and what every part of it means.  We studied why we have Mass, why we do what we do and believe what we believe and how we got to where we are as a religion.  We were always taught the Bible was something to interpret, and to never use a history or science textbook.  If this is wrong education, and is stuff that has been detrimental to life, then I’d hate to see what you learned in school then.

This went in a totally different direction than expected

[kramerllama]

A lot of people like to think that the movie Idiocracy is coming to fruition because Trump is popular and may secure the presidency. Yet I feel like Demolition Man and 1984 are what's coming to head. Democrats want to subvert due process by having a secret no fly list that anyone can be added onto at any time for any reason without your knowledge and use that as a way to restrict its citizens from purchasing a gun. These are the same people who cry racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, etc when they encounter people with different beliefs and opinions. The youth today, my generation, feels its OK to limit free speech unless its their free speech, to bully and enact violence upon those who speak out against their hypocrisy. I have seen people say that older people should not vote because they won't be around long enough to see the impacts. Its become a mentality that those who oppose you should be oppressed and those who are with you deserve all the rights.

[rifleweeb]

Just to make myself perfectly clear, if you understand the full implications of using the terrorist watch list as a way to strip constitutional rights from American citizens without due process and support it anyway, I legitimately consider you a bigger and more imminent threat to me than ISIS.

Statistically speaking, a bunch of dumbshits dodging FAB-500s and JDAMs in Syria between posting on Twitter and getting blown the fuck up by Kurds so we can set their combat footage to the Benny Hill theme later are not especially likely to threaten, injure, or kill me and the people I care about.

The United States government, acting with minimal oversight and legal limitations because some unaccountable, unelected bureaucrat put a bunch of names on a “terrorist” list, some of which are on there by accident? Significantly more terrifying.

[mikeneedsadrink-deactivated2020]

^This^ All of this.

[your-uncle-dave]

There is no lie here.

[kramerllama]

And people wanna make our government bigger and give them more unregulated power. I'm more scared of our damn government than I am of ISIS
