Edward Kenway walks out of the sea holding two swords, leaving behind two dead bodies and a ship in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

Tangents this week include, fairly obviously, whaling and what whales might taste like, what role Matthew would have in a whaling operation, and events we have attended where actors have been dressed as video game characters. Also: Matthew reaffirms he didn’t eat any fruit as part of his main Christmas meal.
