they should have just hired a south asian person to be the new voice actor and then done some throwaway joke about how apu's voice has changed. or they should have cancelled the simpsons years ago

Or, just throwing this out there, keep him sterotypical but update the stereotype. S o instead of being a shop owner, Apu came to America on an H-1B Visa and took Homer's job, and can't leave because Mr. Burns took his passport.

I laughed really hard when they had to keep including that in future games. It was obvious that they were terrified of depicting Islam in fiction and getting blowback, but when AC 2 came out it was still there even though no one was gonna get mad over showing Renaissance Italy.

Uh what? The illuminati conspiracy is the Templars and they are Christian not Islamic. The driving force behind the assassins is stopping people from using the relics to control.

the historical assassins are some breakaway shia sect that acted to destabilize the major sunni caliphs in the area during the first game's time period (1100s or so) then got destroyed by the mongols like everyone else later on

you'd know this if you played crusader kings and not just ubisoft open world collectathons

After Vladimir Lenin's death, and under the regime of Stalin, the state's approach to communism became corrupted. While Stalin was not a member of the Templar Order, the Templars infiltrated the Politburo, secretly influencing Stalin's regime. The Stalinist government allowed the Templar Yuri Petrovich Figatner to head a special government commission to investigate the Russian Academy of Sciences and persecute "counter-revolutionaries".[1] Many Assassins and scientists loyal to the Assassin cause were killed or forced into hiding during Stalin's regime.[2]

Under their influence, Stalin took a leading role in World War II alongside Adolf Hitler, bringing on the turmoil and fear necessary for Abstergo Industries to take control over the working population.[3] In 1953,[2] the Assassins managed to kill Stalin[4] with the use of poison, making it look like he died of a stroke.[2]

What are the "shorty awards?" Is it basically an industry award show? Why would anyone attend that in any capacity?

reading the article it sounds like something made up by instagram reposters to congratulate themselves over

quote:

The Shorty Awards, as everyone involved with the Shorty Awards will no doubt be happy to tell you, are the future of awards shows, an annual event honoring those twin pillars of social media monetization: influencers and brands. The 2018 edition of this collective death march into eternal distraction was held last night in New York City; there, Wendy’s #NuggsForCarter and Backpack Kid were celebrated, and Distracted Boyfriend was named Meme Of The Year. It was the kind of night where people give acceptance speeches that begin, “This is why I got into marketing,” and it nearly crushed Adam Pally’s soul.

...

Other big winners at last night’s Shorty Awards were Best Meme/Parody Account (FuckJerry), Best Snapchatter (Spencer Pratt), and Best Influencer & Celebrity Brand Partnership (a bunch, but our favorite is Snapchat runner-up “AMC Theatres and Coca-Cola engage Snapchat influencers to drive concession purchases at the movies”)
