What is the point of a pointless romance?

Um..first....Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Okay, with that out of the way...I almost forgot to whine, I mean vent, ummmm, well, mention anyways this about Assassin's Creed Brotherhood the other day so *Spoiler Alert Still In Effect* , avert your eyes now...

What on earth is wrong with Ubisoft that they would include such a dull and totally pointless romantic story arch as the Christina Missions? I know I have been trying so hard to be a polite lady and leave off being a potty mouth but this....seriously....WTF!?!

I am insulted by Christina, I am disappointed in Ezio. Insulted because how utterly dumb can she possibly be? I am a woman and this was horrible to bear. Readers Digest Condensed Version "Oh Ezio you've been gone 2 years because I had the chance to go with you but I wouldn't and oh, even though I have always loved you I decided you were not coming back so I am engaged to another man and oh, I love you more than life itself and now even though your back but I am gonna marry that poor man (Manfredo) anyway even though I don't really love him as much as I love you but I just don't love you enough to break the engagement and elope with you because I don't want to disappoint my Papa and....I am a stupid woman" What? Is this true love, obviously not. Is this romantic...not...it is pathetic. How many times does she have to toss Ezio over and why-oh-why does he go back? She could have gone to Monteriggioni. No, she freely chooses not to. Ezio returns and wants her but no. She goes off with someone she doesn't love as much (Manfredo) who innocently trusts that she loves him. The dumbass she insists on marrying get himself into trouble. Ezio rescues this guy which is nice but then lets the love of his life *roll eyes* go off and marry this guy!!! So if you love someone - give them to somebody else that may not love her as much as you do and who you know she doesn't love as much as she says she loves you...so...that...uh, somebody (but I am confused as to who) can be happy. Then what? Eight years later he forges a letter to her posing as her husband (ah, so now he is lying to her, she has been living the lie with her husband who is secondpick and this somehow...uh, ok) so he can snatch a kiss off her (desperate or what?) and she gets all upset at HIS deceit even though technically you could say her marrying Manfredo was a lie from "I do" if Ezio was the love of her life...proclaimed by her final gasping words to Ezio and her having kept the necklace. *roll eyes* So what I at first thought was going to be interesting flashbacks...a filling in of a few gaps turned out to be an utterly pointless and pretty disappointing flat beer. THANKS Ubisoft!!!! Duh. I would have felt better if those missions would have continued with his dealing with the death of his family, such as where/how they were buried and dealing with Claudia and his Mother immediately after kind of stuff. Jimmanie Crickets, Ezio is an Italian for pete's sake, what kind of lame ass chases after a married woman who tosses him over several times and for a gambler and basically bails out on love. Oh don't make excuses for him! A man should have some balls and some pride, don't give me crap about how they had some sort of impossible love because he is an assassin, that ain't cutting it with me. Love conquers all things, endures all things or it ain't love. Ezio was better off without her...and we would have been better off without this dribble drabble.

Geeezzzz. Just who did he have a kid with to establish the DNA chain to Desmond? Oh, Ubisoft you are so silly sometimes amongst some pretty smart stuff. Geeks should not write romance. Ha-ha.

Yeah so...now you know....I am a cold-hearted and demanding romantic. Meh.

Destination Truth has a four hour special tonight at Ducketts Grove in Ireland searching for a Banshee...after 15 minutes...what a waste. I think the Irish are having great fun taking the mick out of the Yanks. I have never seen so many people scared by a few bleating sheep,  and flapping birds staggering around in the dark. LOL

Oh...has anyone played Age of Conan? What did you think if you did? Worth it or worthless?
