Swordsman

However, it really saddens me that Ubisoft will not be doing the Swordsman website this year. The Swordsman's site was a great community. They gave us missions to earn gold redeemable for real prizes. It was a great way for Ubisoft to promote their game, while at the same time, give back to their fans. Not to mention that the missions were lots of fun.

 

The gold earned you all kinds of POP goodies -- autographed posters, video games, tee shirts, ipods. They also had a similar site for "Assassin’s Creed 1191AD." Ubisoft even gave out X-box Elite systems, HDTV's and (wow) airline tickets to fly anywhere in the world. I earned the Assassin Creed video game and a few other things. Free game! Not bad for having fun, and meeting other gamers at the same time.

 

I was really looking forward to this, but it's a no go for the Swordsman site this time around.

 

On a better note: Halloween is upon us! I'm so ready for this. I even got a costume. Alas, I have to go buy more candy. I ate some of it, and people coming over ate some of it, and . . . Well, it's gone!...lol What is it about single-sized little wrapped candies that's so deliciously appealing? The darn little goodies call to me every time (in a barely audible whisper).

 

I wasn't gonna’ go to any H’ween parties this year because I didn’t want to miss the kiddies at my front door, but that has changed. The party is Sat night, so it won’t interfere with giving out candy on Fri. I'm bringing Durty's Mac&Cheese dish!
