In the near future (if I receive funding...), I will be undetaking a research project which heavily involves the AC universe. This will be part of a wider project in the field of digital theory, but Assassin's Creed may become a regular feature in my academic work.
Once completed (or rather, if completed), I will post a link somewhere.
I can't wait to start serious academic research, such as playing on my Xbox for hours at a time...
Do I have the best job in the world or what? :)
