Assassin's Legacy

The Rainbow Six series has been the hallmark of tactical shooters, planting players in the shoes of counter-terrorist operatives using weapons and tactics inspired from Tom Clancy's titular novel. The series could be considered the anti-Call Of Duty due to its focus on teamwork and utilizing the games advanced weaponry and gadgetry. Siege mixes in the teamwork mechanics of Counter-Strike along with the familiar gameplay formulas of today's shooters into a unique package not found in any other shooter available this generation.

“The Assassin Game” is a fictional novel and is written in the present time, it revolves around a boarding school’s secret society, where members are strategically selected to

A giant crowd stands packed together in a square eagerly watching a guillotine blade fall. They chant a name, the name of a man grabbing a decapitated head by the hair and swinging it around for all to see with a morbid grin on his face. This man’s name is shouted in the streets, making him famous for his violent acts. The people have turned into a pack of wolves only craving the next kill, the next bloodshed. This brutal time during French history was spearheaded by Maximilien Robespierre following the overthrow of the French monarch King Louis XVI. The people of France despised their absolute monarch because of the bankruptcy of the government, his continued overspending, and the unfair tax laws he established. The savage period of time

Ancient Rome and the French Revolution were, although both a long time ago, very different political atmospheres. As captured by William Shakespeare’s play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar was becoming a dictator with only the beloved Marcus Brutus to save the people. While, flash forward a few thousand years, in the French Revolution, anyone with a high social standing was murdered as shown by Jacques-Louis David’s painting, The Death of Marat. The two historical events seem wildly different- except for the killers. Charlotte Corday and Marcus Brutus are comparable via their public image, murder weapon, and motive.

Immediately before shooting, Meursault describes the overbearing effect of his surroundings on his physical existence, saying “My whole being tensed and I squeezed my hand around the revolver. The trigger gave” (59). When Meursault murders the the Arab man, he is merely reacting to his uncomfort in the extreme heat and sunlight. He says that “the trigger gave” giving the impression that he was disconnected from this action, not completely aware of what he was doing. As a result, the murder demonstrates how events in life are irrational and take place without reason.

Following the Civil War, many Americans chose to settle west of the Mississippi river and shaped a distinct culture in this region. Generations later, this fascinating culture was transformed into the Wild West, a romanticized version of the lifestyle, to entertain the masses. The romanticized perception of the Wild West differs extensively from the reality of western settlement, but in some aspects mirrors the true western lifestyle in the post-Civil War period. Native Americans and cowboys, for instance, are portrayed rather inaccurately in the romanticized adaptations of the West, while the images of towns and settlements are similar in both the mythological Wild West and the reality of the western experience.

The Assassins are a Shiite-Ismailite sect that used to spread fear and panic in the Near and Middle East for more than one century. They did carry out political murders with as much publicity as possible and therefore they are compared with terrorists. But there's one big difference - they never carried out their murders indiscriminately,but rather always selectively. Today, we can hear the term modern-day Assassins and that's the reason for making this historical review trying to find resemblance between the assassins and the terrorists.

Ender’s Game is about a boy who, along with other children, goes to Battle School in space as preparation for going to war with an alien race, known as the Buggers, that has threatened mankind. It is set in the future. Ender's Game and its sequel Speaker for the Dead, written by Orson Scott Card, were both awarded the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award. The series continues with Xenocide, Children of the Mind, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, "First Meetings in the Enderverse", Shadow of the Giant, Shadows in Flight, A War of Gifts, and Ender in Exile. Ender in Exile takes place after Ender's Game and before Speaker for the Dead. Card also plans to write Shadows Alive, which connects the "Shadow" series and "Speaker" series.

“Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light.” by Vera Nazarian. Notably, many of us should live up to this quote, however, it is said more like a statement or a fact of life, a book is a dream, a thought, a powerhouse. The latest one I have touched, glanced over and read was The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Mass. To include, it may be a foolish book in some eyes, however, no book is too foolish in my eyes, this book has romance, adventure, action, mystery, and last but certainly not the least is fantasy. Indeed, fantasy is the main reason why people like, you and I, try to reach our goals. In addition, the main character is a menace, and her name is Celaena and we see her life in the assassin's guild to when she gets out of the assassin's guild.

The Renaissance was a time period in Europe between the 13th and 17th centuries, it was a rich time for human development and overall improvement of life (Hay, 1). Whether it be through stunning architectural designs, improvements in medicine, or scientific inventions. Several objects from this time period were preserved due to the vast amount of information and historical relevance they provided, information such as that of Leonardo da Vinci and his designs, many of which helped future inventors to innovate and shape our world today. To experience the Renaissance in a simulation is a feat of its own, as there are several elements that come into play, such as creating an accurate representation of Italy, architectural complexity and creating a storyline that justly represents that time period. As technology had advanced from the late 20th century to now, it became possible to simulate such a feat, this allowed for the development of the Assassins Creed series. The Renaissance was believed to have started in Florence, Italy in the 14th century, the time period where Assassins Creed II was set (Burke) (Assassins Creed II, Video game). Assassins Creed II was developed in 2009 by Ubisoft Montreal, it attempts to recreate the Renaissance in an open world simulation of Italy while incorporating several historically accurate elements such as famous landmarks, cities, notable families, pieces of art, and weapons to

We chose The Assassin’s Challenge over all the other ideas discussed in the beginning because we determined that this was the most effective and engaging idea. The game would have the lowest cost and be the most active and engaging. It would create a wary environment around the school and at some points could cause complete and utter chaos to ensue, which would be fun for everybody as long as everybody follows the rules and nobody gets hurt. With all that said, the question we ask is: Will our chosen social epidemic, The Assassin’s Challenge, have that spontaneous, “spreads like wildfire” moment when something tips, and will our game garner the interest and participation of at least one-fifth of the high school population at Odyssey to prove

Heart of Darkness, written by Joseph Conrad and “Apocalypse Now”, a movie directed by Francis Coppola represent two outstanding examples that compare relevant ideas regarding racism, colonialism, and prejudices. The two combine film along with descriptive language to portray their mastery during different eras. For Heart of Darkness, Conrad uses his writing techniques to illustrate Marlow in the Congo, while in “Apocalypse Now”, Coppola uses film editing and close ups on important scenes with unique sounds to identify Willards’ quest for Kurtz. Both portray the idea of colonization in foreign lands that otherwise may have been uninhabited by their own people if left alone.

Natural born killers is a movie by Oliver Stone, who introduced us to a very different world with unusual lifestyles. The movie represent two main ideas and connects them together. these two ideas are shown in the very beginning of the movie when it starts with a montage of different predators animal shots that come right before our location of the first scene which is the cafe’. The first thing we see in the shot is a TV and someone is changing its channels. From the beginning we could see what mood the director “Oliver Stone“ is putting us in.

The Fallout franchise is nearly 20 years old, but the history of the series goes back far more than 20 years. While Fallout can easily be considered the studios most successful franchise, their legacy goes beyond the post apocalyptic, being publishers of such games as Descent 3, Baldur’s Gate, and the developers of Wasteland. Baldur’s Gate and Descent 3 certainly helped shape Interplay into the developers they would eventually become, but it was Wasteland, first released in 1988 on the Apple 2 computer, that really laid the foundation for Fallout. Not only did Wasteland pave the way for Fallout, it nearly single handedly brought a genre to mainstream audiences.
