The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Movies based on the games would be great but I'm not sure who would play Altair/Ezio/Edward/Connor

Strangely, the two most interesting figures in the entire series are Shay Cormac and Haytham Kenway.

Hmm or maybe johnny depp would be better.

Oh God, no. Those are horrible choices.

The Cavs have shot over 30 free throws. Have the refs lost their damn minds?

Anyone doing anything interesting?

Cavs are pretty damn amazing, right now.

Joker we must convene on this

None of those actors would fit Ezio tbh.

I don't know who would, but I know he'd have to be an 11/10

I really need someone to talk to right now

And no this isn't teen drama kek

This is legitimate necessity to converse w/someone

Amazing when you consider the competition. They're going to get blitzed in the NBA finals because they won't be used to playing NBA teams.

True. But based on looks alone Johnny Depp would make a decent young Ezio.

Though... 11/10 in acting... Or looks? 😛

Depp is neither tbh.

preferably both tbh but i was referencing looks

Johhny Depp is 52. Look-wise he could pull off Revelations Ezio. But try getting him to stop acting like... well Johnny Depp, and also doing a believable Italian accent... eek.

Don't go for the A-listers, find someone younger and more obscure. Alot of hidden talent can be found with big breakout roles like that, and you don't get distracted by the too-famous face.

Depp when he cleans up is fairly handsome.

Eh. Depp could do anything from 38 onward, tbh. It's not like he looks elderly. That being said, he definitely shouldn't be in this kind of role anyway.

Sorry for missing the earlier "Are Nazis left"-debate. Here's some input:

NG, I only had to read the first sentence of your college student link to gauge this guy's left leanings+whatever confirmation bias his essay is. Screaming about Fox News and the Tea Party isn't how you start a convincing essay, it's what you do after you put your tin foil hat on.

Here are two links from credible sources, not someone who just completed his intro to art history final.

The notion of labeling the Nazis "socialists" is just ridiculous, and is mainly based upon differenting uses of the word "socialism". To sum it up real quickly, why this doesn't work:

- Hitler and his NSDAP did always support the idea of private property
- they supported the (liberal) idea of competition, although mainly out of social-darwinistic considerations.
- they have never developed a consistant economical theory. The only thing that was clear, was that the economy had to subject itself under the primacy of politics. But never with the idea of socializing the it.

The social historian Wehler once wrote, that the only "socialistic" thing in national socialism - although in a rather twisted sense - was the notion of a "people's community". But Marx and Engels didn't write "Aryan workers of Germany, unite!" into their Communist Manifesto.

And its even more laughable to call Nazis "left" in terms of political "sides". Racism, antisemitism, nationalism and authoritarian laws usually aren't "left". Although I have to admit that there are some overlaps between "right" and "left" when it comes to ideological extremists.

The concept of Fascism so blatantly contradicts communism it's ridiculous to argue otherwise.

Who were the most significant/influential people in the 20th century? Discuss.

It's a really vast century when the individuals don't really stand out as much they would in past centuries. I'm not sure if anyone can make a legit top list tbh.

George Lucas.

I know. In my subsequent posts, I stated that the Nazi's don't fall under the conventional definitions of "socialism" or "conservatism".

Granted, I wouldn't call the Nazis right either.
