I wonder if, with Patrice Desilet back in Ubisoft's claws, Asscreed 4 will be at the same level of quality as Asscreed 2 and Assbro.
I doubt he would touch AC now its not his baby anymore. Also he just got back this has probably been in development for a year or so now, so no dice on that
Stereotypical job advertisement for a lectureship/assistant professorship
Location: Somewhere you don’t want to live
Salary: Nowhere near enough given the ridiculous number of qualifications you have
Contract type: Full-time permanent*
Interview Date: Don’t worry, you probably won’t make this stage
*”Permanent” refers to your expected working hours on campus, NOT your job security, benefits, healthcare etc.
Background
We are seeking a candidate to replace an academic that went senile over 20 years ago, but who has only just retired.
Candidate Evaluation
The candidate must have a PhD from an institution where ivy grows up the sides of old historic buildings and 5-10 years of postdoctoral experience with all the world-experts in their chosen research area. The successful candidate will have published every experiment that they have performed in the last 10-15 years, and some that they did not (only publications in Science or Nature will be considered valid). The candidate is expected to spend their days teaching undergraduates, and their nights working towards developing a world-class research career – it will obviously be advantageous if the candidate does not have friends, family, hobbies or eyelids. The candidate will have an enthusiasm for teaching**.
**Demonstrating this enthusiasm once you have the job will result in zero career progression and incessant mocking from colleagues.
Holidays
Hahahahahahahaha
Application Process
Enquiries should be directed to our overworked secretary, Mavis; she will probably lose it first time around, so send a second enquiry about 1 week after you submit the first one. When applying, please submit your curriculum vitae – the heavier the better; anything that weighs less than a large dog will not be considered.
Interviews
Five lucky candidates, who meet the ridiculous criteria stated above, will be invited to be pummeled (verbally and physically) by a pack of cantankerous academics. Candidates will then be locked in a room together with a single 2×4 coated in barbed-wire. The last one left breathing will be given the job.
Further information:
We aim to be an equal opportunities employer. However, we are not very good at this: white, socially awkward males with excessive facial hair are preferred; females will only be considered if they demonstrate absolutely no desire to start a family.

There is some sort of rail card you can get pretty cheap that lets you rail around through most of the countries IIRC.
So I think the travelling part would be cheap all things considered. Depends a lot on how much you spend where you are visiting, and of course in your case plane here and back.
Of course asia has the problem that most of the people speaking english are either other backpackers, tourists or people hoping to make money off the previous groups.
You have to be lucky to find someone that will help you along for free. And I would probably feel a bit scummy getting things for free from a lot of the people there.
I'm sure in europe you can do couch surfing or find other ways of getting around freeish much easier.
My cousin participated in one of those couch surfing swap websites and had a really good experience.

You would think there would be more oppurtunities given the general "baby-boomers heading for retirement" phase we seem to be in atm.
If you weren't over the pond I'd have suggested a few places here in Canuckistan like Dalhousie University and St. Francis Xavier. One of my HS friends is a teaching assistant at Dal and is working on finishing her thesis for her doctorate in Marine Biology.
It is of interest to me how invented names seem to stick with people. My sister used to be way into anime and duct tape; while she is no longer as ... obsessed, her preferred "I use it everywhere" handle still refers to both.
Tamin was a randomly generated name for an Erudite in Everquest some 13 years ago. Around the same time, I started using Nihilanth; this was eventually shortened to Nihi. When neither work as an account, I use a combination (which you can see as my twitter handle), and recently I've considered adding the reverse of that to my rotation - for new characters in rpgs I've played before, that sort of thing.
My friend ended up with Oobuk. Though I guess I've co-opted that one (it was never "his"; he was playing on my account - if that makes sense), as he seems to prefer his tribes 2 name and his world of warcraft character. Which are stronger names, at any rate.
There seems like the seed of something entertaining here. Maybe some sort of "social media" tactics game, where each social medium (facebook, google+, twitter) is a unit that shares a banner with House <log in name>. You'd select which of these is your preferred name, and that becomes the Great House.
So if I select "Nihi" as my preferred login, and then indicate that I use it to log into twitter and steam, I'd end up with a messenger unit and a crossbowman flying House Nihi; they are joined by a knight (ex. facebook) from their sworn bannermen, House Tamin.

It's a series that uses the expansion pack title model like GTA. It's pretty clearly the same era as ACIII and has a focus on the naval stuff in response to the overwhelmingly positive reaction to it in III so just call it what it is; an expansion like Brotherhood and Rev

You say that but the oil industry is great at ignoring the time bomb of boomer retirement. All the geoscientists here are old. The apparent industry solution to the shrinking pool of specialists is to employ more headhunters to yank geoscientists away from each other with ever higher day rates.
This is ignoring the simple fact that at some point these guys are going to be too old and too rich to care how much money theyre offered to keep working.

Well, it can't be an expansion. Expansions focus on the same assassin. I'd prefer they stick with that tradition.
Yes, it should be set in an entirely different time period.

Universities seem to produce a lot more people these days than they did in the 60s or 70s probably in most fields so I guess competition is fierce. Wonder what it was like in say 1979
