We follow a creed here on Still Loading. And that creed is to listen to as much Creed as possible. Actually no, we don't do that. Bad jokes aside, this episode is all about the original Assassin's Creed game. I am joined by Troy from the Taste of Dragons podcast and we dive deep into the game and even learn about the time Troy met an actual knight from the Knights Templar!? Listen to the episode to find out!

We have come to the end of our scripted dive into the history of the RTS genre. I explain it in more detail in the episode, but the amount of work for these scripted episodes is just getting more and more and I sadly don't have the time to keep up with these monthly scripted episodes. I may continue on with this though at a less frequent pace in the future, we will see.

This episode is all about righting a terrible wrong. A few years ago I did an episode of my 40 for 40 series on this game and in my opinion it was awful. I spent only 20 minutes to cover not only the original Donkey Kong but also Donkey Kong Jr and the original Double Dragon. This is the first part of trying to right that terrible wrong. To help me with that is competitive Donkey Kong player Dearest Abby! This is definitely an episode you WON'T want to miss.

On this episode I tried something a little different. This episode is all about Animal Crossing New Horizons, but specifically memories from the 2020 pandemic involving New Horizons. I've talked before about the importance of contextual preservation of video games and this is my stab at just that. Guests on this episode are Twitch streamer OhHeyItsDavid and podcasts/streamers Brian and Jo from the Taste of Dragons podcast!
