Hey Strangers, #ubisoft #assassinscreed #leaks Ubisoft is known for making long Assassin's Creed games, and Shadows looks like another sizable proposition. There's a gulf in content between AC Mirage and Valhalla—the last two Assassin's Creed games—so let's see where Shadows falls.Assassin's Creed has become the most iconic example of Ubisoft's open-world formula. Large-scale collect-a-thons teeming with main missions, side quests, secrets, and more. The recent AC trilogy of Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla were some of the biggest AC titles ever, and they gradually increased in size. Valhalla was monstrously big, and became even more bloated with its DLC.=======================================I had to Make a playlist for this lolhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPn9z2zi8y0ZDNRGzJtPin2V-Ad2K_3bl**************************************************My other podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw**************************************************article links:https://insider-gaming.com/assassins-creed-shadows-length-explained/======================================Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discordhttps://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxqTikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoderYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangersTwitchhttps://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangersTwitterhttps://twitter.com/strangestcoderBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/strangestcoder.bsky.socialmerchSupport CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.

A killer was on the loose and they were calling him Bible John. The murders are unsolved, because the man they have behind bars, Peter Tobin, some say may not, in fact, actually be Bible John. (The Bible John Murders) *** It is said that Saint Catherine Of Alexandria courageously confronted 50 pagan philosophers and was sentenced to death. But some wonder if she ever even existed. (Catherine of Alexandria) *** Why are some people so afraid of black cats? Could there be a rational reason behind it, or is it silly made-up nonsense?

Deep in Wisconsin's Northwoods, the ruins of Summerwind Mansion sit quietly by West Bay Lake, but the chilling tales of ghosts, hidden secrets, and unexplained events keep its haunted legacy alive.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: Was Summerwind in Wisconsin really haunted? No one knows and if they do, they aren't saying. Today, only the foundations, the stone chimneys and perhaps the ghosts remain. (Summerwind: The Most Haunted House In Wisconsin) *** A young woman discovers that it's possible to live a lonely life, yet still not be alone. (Followed By a Child) *** Is it possible that during the years of World War 1, Agnes Whiteland, while peering off her balcony, saw a group of time travelers? (Agnes And The Time Travelers) *** Tituba proved to be a fantastic orator as she talked her way out of slavery using the fear and mass hysteria of witchcraft that paralyzed the people of Salem. (Tituba And the Salem Witch Trials) *** The discovery of a 10-year-old's body at an ancient Roman site in Italy suggests his family, friends, and neighbors thought he was a vampire – and took measures to make sure he wouldn't return from the grave. (The Unearthing of a Child Vampire) *** Authorities placed Gil Perez in jail as a deserter and for the possibility that he may have been in the service of Satan. In Gil's defense though, he said he simply teleported somewhere else. (Teleportation of a Spanish Soldier) *** 
Matthew Weeks was found guilty and hanged for the murder of Charlotte Dymond. Today it is said that the ghosts of both of them roam the countryside – but could it be that Matthew's ghost is lamenting because he was innocent of the crime? (The Murder of Charlotte Dymond on Bodmin Moor) *** A building situated right in the middle of London's swankiest and most historical areas, has long been said to be the lair of something not of this earth. (The Bizarre Nameless Thing of Berkley Square) *** “The Jungle Book” - we are all familiar with the story in some way – either from the classic animated Disney film version from 1967, the live action version in 2016, or the original novel by Rudyard Kipling published in 1894. In fact, yet another retelling of the story is coming in 2019 in a film entitled simply, “Mowgli”. But what many don't know is that the character of Mowgli was, in fact, inspired by a real boy who was raised by wild animals. (The Real Life Inspiration for Mowgli) *** Evil stepmothers, jealous of their stepdaughters' beauty are a classic tome in fantastical stories – but Martha Savcoll was no fairy tale.

(Skinwalking Witches) *** If you hear the words “murder” and “London” you immediately think of Jack the Ripper – but he is only one of many brutal murderers who prowled the foggy city looking for victims. We'll look at some of the most gruesome in London's history. (Murderous London) *** Since it was built in 1981, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge connecting St. Petersburg to Tampa, Florida has been a harbinger of tragedy. The four-mile-long bridge rises like a mastodon 430 feet into the bright sunlight. On or around the bridge, there have been hundreds of suicides, as well as deadly shipwrecks. And in 2016, there was the heinous murder of a child let down by the very system designed to protect her. (The Bridge to Tragedy) *** You've probably seen a street artist in person or on video appearing to defy gravity – floating as in mid-air, hoping you'll give them some of your pocket change. And of course you've seen magicians levitate the beautiful assistant, or levitate themselves. But then there are those who say they can do it for real – no trickery involved.

There is a centuries-old ritual where monks volunteer to mummify themselves while they are still alive. It's as fascinating as it is creepy!Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: One of the greatest monsters ever to be brought to the screen was The Mummy, portrayed by Boris Karloff. We have, of course, seen numerous recreations of the creature since the original Universal film, but still, the image is grotesque and frightening no matter the incarnation. To see a mummy in real-life is that much more shocking. But real fear… real terror… would be if you yourself were to be mummified… while still alive. (To Be Mummified Alive) *** In the days that followed the rescue of 11-year-old Terry Jo Duperrault from the wreckage of the yacht called the Bluebelle, it would became clear that a storm hadn't destroyed the ship, as the previously-rescued captain, Julian A. Harvey, had said earlier. A storm hadn't killed everyone aboard… Harvey himself had. (The Final Voyage of the Bluebelle) *** When a loved one passes away, we sometimes wish we could speak to them one last time. Some people report they received phone calls or voicemails they believe are from their deceased loved ones. Sometimes they come through as eerie otherworldly static, while other times the ghostly caller is able to communicate one last message. We'll share a few true stories from people who have received phone calls from the beyond. (Phone Calls From Beyond The Grave) *** If you buy a furnished home and move the furniture to clean the floor – and the furniture moves back on its own – you can be pretty sure you've just moved into a haunted house. That's exactly what one family in Rockford, Illinois found out. (A Haunting on School Street) *** And I'll end the episode with the story that I began it with – a short story by Louisa May Alcott called “Lost in a Pyramid”… or “The Mummy's Curse”. A story that went pretty much unnoticed when it was originally published in 1869, but has had somewhat become undead since 1998 when it was rediscovered and is now considered an influential example of early “mummy's curse” narratives.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Disclaimer and Cold Open00:01:37.790 = Show Intro00:05:01.001 = The Final Voyage of the Bluebelle00:20:11.534 = Phone Calls From Beyond the Grave00:39:14.307 = A Haunting On School Street00:46:01.709 = To Be Mummified Alive00:54:14.718 = The Mummy's Curse (Lost in a Pyramid) – fictional story01:19:26.675 = Show OutroSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Final Voyage of the Bluebelle” by Lucia for The Ghost In My Machine: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/23utyhja“Phone Calls From Beyond the Grave” by Amanda Ashley for Graveyard Shift: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/7bw36uh4“A Haunting on School Street” by Kathi Kresol for Haunted Rockford: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/s3c76yeb“To Be Mummified Alive' by Bipin Dimri for Historic Mysteries: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/j89cukfe“The Mummy's Curse/Lost In a Pyramid” by Louisa May Alcott: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/pwd9h3cbWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
