I spent my snow day yesterday plowing through a video game called Assassin's Creed II. I've played this game a few times before, but it keeps drawing me back due to its rich historical value. Granted, I highly doubt that some of the plot-related aspects of this game (and series) are true, but at the same time the historical accuracy is actually really amazing. 15th-century Venice just oozes with this rich atmosphere that makes me want to travel back in time to the Italian Renaissance.
If only scientists hadn't declared time travel impossible back in July...
If there was one supernatural "fantasy" that I wish would become a reality, it would probably be time travel. I want to go back to Renaissance Italy and speak to the one and only Leonardo da Vinci, just like Ezio does in Assassin's Creed II. I want to watch the parting of the Red Sea. I want to travel 100 years into the future and see how the world has changed. I want to go back to the 80's and see what my mom and dad's hair looked like.
Actually, I refuse to believe what those scientists said about time travel. I'm just going to keep believing that some genius is going to come along someday and figure out how to bend time or whatever. And that he'll choose a completely random person like me to go on adventures with him through our world's history.
Because really... who doesn't want to time travel.
I want to time travel and you will NEVER guess what we did last night. We watched these Netflix 23 minute Mystery Files and one was on L. da Vinci. And Mark kept referencing Assassin's Creed. You two are very similar and it is spooky.
ReplyDeleteI don't recommend the movie. It is a boring 23 minutes where they try to create drama and fake mystery. :-)
That's so crazy! We do seem to have a lot of similar interests... I would like to have seen that movie, even if it was boring. Da Vinci is such a fascinating person in our history; I'd love to just sit down for lunch with him.
