Herd of Cats

I think we all know I will be buying this no matter what...

Announced for May 15, 2020. That's pretty much it for information do far.

We just broke a week and I am starting to have some hope



Forever is starting to seem more managable. I can almost see myself playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

Much more exciting than the upcoming Scarlett Console

At least to me...

When I told Guba about the new Xbox Console she quickly responded, "No, not until christmas!" Once I finished inwardly crying (and outwardly I admit) I remembered that the new console isn't releasing until Christmas. Hah! "No problem, Guba, I will totally wait..." until Christmas 2020! Wait, what? Yes, Christmas 2020 is the actual release date which I hadn't bothered to notice. This time there was no inward crying, it was all outward. Loud, damp, and, face it, a little messy.

Fortunately, the new Elite Controller (Series 2!) will be launching on November 4, 2019! Which, for those keeping track, is before this Christmas! Whoot!

Ihave yet to find a pre-order link for Canada but I am sure they are out there!

It's been one week since you looked at me

One week left until I can play Assassin's Creed Odyssey. It just seems like forever.

Why am I the one covering this? From Greece?

Xbox Project Scarlett - E3 2019 - Reveal Trailer

Introducing Project Scarlett.
Unmatched power and speed ushers in a new level of game play performance and the future of gaming. With four generations of content that looks and feels unlike anything before.
Launching with Halo Infinite Holiday 2020.

Eight days! That's, like, more than a week!

It is possible that I might be starting to regret my totally awesome purchase of Assassin's Creed Odyssey while in Greece.

Particularly since the promised Discovery Tour made so popular in Assassin's Creed Origins has yet to be released. The Discovery Tour option being one of the primary reasons I picked up the game. The chance to tour the actual locations I am visiting back when they were not ancient. Or ruins.

Nine days! Am I ever going to play Assassin's Creed Odyssey?

The kitchen for our Greek Cooking Class in Nafplion had a theme

These were the first cows I spotted (which I also tweeted) on the main fridge:

Enjoy even more cows after the break. And yes, some bulls.

Just a reminder that Herd of Cats is tweeting from Greece

No real reason for the reminder except for the time that I tweeted some of my best stuff from the New York Makerfaire and none of you even noticed...

You know who you are...

Ten more days before I can even play (or install) Assassin's Creed Odyssey

So, everybody remember yesterday when I bought a Greece based game while in Greece?

It took a while to sink in but I am in Greece.

My Xbox One is in Canada.

This seems to be a problem. It will be eleven days until I can even start installing it, let alone playing it.

Eleven days!

I did not respond or click on any of the dubious links...

Dear friends,

This is a quick note to tell you that Giulia and myself will be wed on Thursday June 13, 2019, in the afternoon at City Hall in Ottawa. It will be a mini-ceremony lasting all of 10 minutes. My cousin Revek and my father will be present. There won't be a reception that day.

We will be taking a video of the ceremony, as Giulia's father, and my mother, won't be able to attend. We will put the video on Youtube.

I put this right next to my Nigerian Prince emails.

It somehow seemed appropriate to buy this game in Greece

Described on the Official Web Site as Assassin's Creed Odyssey, embark on an epic journey in Ancient Greece to become a legendary Spartan hero.

Ancient Greece! See, appropriate.

We had our own epic journey in Athens to obtain this legendary artifact.

The last owner really let this place go, I hope they find a good realtor

I did not make an offer.

Apparently, despite it's decriptitude they gave it an ostentatious name, The Parthenon.

I mean, really, how is ever going to sell now?
