Summary

Assassin’s Creed is my favorite video game series of all time and with the release of AC Shadows coming up and now being officially delayed, we discuss what the AC series has done right, wrong, or just screwed up entirely while discussing whether AC shadows will renew the AC series.

We also talked about the failings of Ubisoft and what they have done. The PS5 Pro is set to release soon and Carter and Sam both managed to get their hands on one and we discussed their excitement for these and whether it is worth the price.

Also, we are looking forward the the Aliens Halloween episode and our year end episode where we will need your help in voting. Be on the lookout for that on social media I also made some editing changes to get around some issues with our recording equipment (video issues), what do yall think?

Drink Recipe "Shirley Templar"

Inspiration of Shirley Templar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MXq15fMsXY

I tried the drink based on the video above and really didn't like it (Found a bar that had the weird ingredients). It wasn't too sweet, but the need for a "Strawberry Gin" is crazy because you will never use it outside of this drink honestly. The same kinda of goes with Maraschino Liqueur as I am not a bartender, so I don't keep that on hand. I also didn't like the Half & Half as whilst you drank it, it would mix and make the drink grainy. Not a pleasant feeling. Switched to heavy cream and it was solid.

Ingredients

• Drink
  • .25 oz: Grenadine
  • 1.5 oz: Vodka
  • 1 oz: Maraschino Liqueur (or replace with more vodka)
  • 5 dashes Pace Child's Bitters
  • 2-3 oz: 7-up/Sprite
• Cream
  • 1/4 cup: Heavy cream
  • .25 oz Grenadine

Instructions

1. Stir vodka, Maraschino (If used), grenadine, and bitters in separate glass with ice.
2. Make grenadine cream with heavy cream and grenadine by frothing/mixing them together.
3. In service glass with ice, pour mixed liquids through strainer into glass
4. Top with 7-up/Sprite.
5. Stir.
6. Layer foam cream over the back of a spoon to ensure it sits on top.
7. Serve Immediately.
