Yes, I am old enough to be your mother. Yes, I play videogames, including Halo 3 on Xbox live. I am a huge geek--that's something you never outgrow. And yes, I think RvB is absolute genius.

What did they do to Ezio's face??

He now looks like Wormtail in the Harry Potter movies. And Desmond was completely unrecognizable.

I mean, your face does change as you get older, but not like THAT!

I've always assumed the Carmines are just comic relief, and their presence and deaths have no real meaning.
C3PO, Jay and Silent Bob, Falstaff, and Corporal Timothy Upham were all comic relief, yet they all had purpose and meaning and characterization and reasons to exist. Plus when something bad happened to any of them, you felt bad as an observer.

Oh and Maria! Her death was probably the best death and one of the most moving moments in the entire series.

Of all the people, I never understood why the writers kept killing Carmine. Nothing about him made his death meaningful in any way. He was the most fleshed out in the third installment and oddly enough that's the one he lived through.
It was his brothers Anthony and Benjamin who were killed in the first two. For the third one the developers had a contest to see whether Clay Carmine would live or die. People bought t-shirts to vote (all proceeds went to a kids' charity). Fortunately merciful heads prevailed.
Yeah, I even almost bought one of those keep him alive shirts. I just meant from a story writing perspective (which maybe I'm a little more attuned to because I took a bunch of writing classes in college and now overanalyze stuff) the life and death of Carmine (all three Carmines) had no real meaning to it. The deaths of Lt. Kim, Tai Kaliso, and even Adam Fenix and Dom (by the way I thought those two deaths were rather poorly written, especially considering how freaking important those two characters were) had meaning, had emotion, advanced the story, and had purpose. The first two Carmine's deaths felt to me about as meaningless as the unnamed soldiers in the helicopters or the ones who get killed by the new Locust enemy to show it off. Like the guy wearing the red shirt in Star Trek. And while I think throwaway deaths are lazy writing, at least they are often used on throwaway characters. Why bother to make me care about Carmine at all if the writers only have him exist to kill him? I think once the votes were tallied and they realized Carmine was going to live, the writers put actual effort into his character. Which, by the way, would have made his death mean something if he had died. I talk about Star Trek, but I’ve actually never seen an episode of that show. Ever.

In reply to ohfer, #9:

If you haven't noticed then I'm sure you have been in the Beta yet. You would notice.
