The Acolyte Podcast

Arthur Callahan

The Acolyte Podcast is about combining my two greatest passions, that being History and video games. And after years of contemplation, I finally decided to take a leap of faith (pun intended) in creating my own section of the massive fandom with my first podcast! Mostly, this podcast is about ruminating on my love for Assassin"s Creed, a little bit of lamenting what it has become, but also just contributing to the medium which has brought me so much joy. Moreover, I"ve been a part of this massive

Haytham Kenway (Favorite Characters Ranking)

The Acolyte Podcast ·

2025/06/11

Making his first appearance in Assassin's Creed III, we get to meet the father of main protagonist Connor and son of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's Edward Kenway. In the prologue section of ACIII, you get to take control of Haytham for a few hours. While oozing charm, charisma, and badassness, Haytham just barely eeks into my Top 10 of favorite characters for reasons that aren't his fault.- The Hooded Shadow

Why I Say No to a Dutch Golden Age Assassin's Creed...

The Acolyte Podcast ·

2025/06/04

The Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century, despite how relatively unknown a time period it is, was actually a very pivotal time in the history of the world. It has been said that this era was the progenitor to modern capitalism because the Dutch were a viable world power, that for a time, was competing with other major superpowers like France and England in economics, military, etc. In a way, this could lead to an interesting setting for an Assassin's Creed game but I don't think it will, personally

Assassin's Creed III (Revisited Series)

The Acolyte Podcast ·

2025/05/28

In this next episode of my "Revisited: Assassin's Creed" series, I discuss the game that really changed the game for the brand in a lot of ways. This game is also where my entry point into the franchise is. But all in all, Assassin's Creed 3 is a polarizing game and one that leaves it's mark. Thanks for listening!-The Hooded Shadow

The Acolyte Podcast ·

2025/05/21

The Red Dead series is very special to me. Not only does it feature my favorite time period in history but both games have a narrative that has stuck with me to this day. In this episode, I discuss if there will be another game in this franchise and what years it might be set in. Also, the first game, Red Dead Redemption is now 15 years old this month and I want to give love to these games that have greatly impacted my life. Thanks for listening!-The Hooded Shadow

Connor's spot amongst favorite characters always leads to heated discussions and opinions. And while he is far from the best character, he certainly isn't close to being the worst. I understand his motivations and I appreciate his convictions. Here is my epsidoe ranking Connor Kenway.

Why I Say No to a World War(s) Era Assassin's Creed...

The Acolyte Podcast ·

2025/05/07

Both World Wars were a very pivotal time in shaping the world in the early 20th century. This setting has also been done countless times throughout all forms of entertainment, most notably, movies and video games in the since the turn of the century. This era has been a somewhat highly requested setting for Assassin's Creed fans for many years and I don't think it makes for a good setting in a main game, however, for a myriad of reasons. In this episode I go over why this is, and a little surprise

Assassin's Creed: Revelations (Revisited Series)

The Acolyte Podcast ·

2025/04/30

Revelations is an incredible experience. The culmination of Ezio's story. The finality of Altair's journey. The setting. The music. The best weapon introduced in any game ever, the hookblade. Assassin's Creed Revelations may be some people's least favorite Ezio adventure and despite this, however, it has recieved a lot more love in recent years. This final chapter of Ezio's story provides an experience that is much more important and special to me than it is to most other gamers. Reminisce with me

One of the coolest secrets you can find in Assassin's Creed Syndicate is a Rift that transports you forward about 50 years to World War 1 era London. Here, Lydia Frye is introduced. And while she is amazing for the time you play as her, it is very short-lived, unfortunately.

2025/04/09

Back in 2017, it was announced that Netflix was going to make an Assassin's Creed series for it's streaming service. It was announced again in 2020 that they could make any live-action, animated, or anime project for their platform. Then, in 2022, this partenrship was once again announced with a showrunner in place. Close to 3 years since, we haven't heard a peep about the status of the series until a (credible?) movie industry "insider" recently rumored that the project(s) are still in development

The Acolyte Podcast ·

2025/04/02

Howdy partner! An Assassin's Creed game set in the Wild West is surely an interesting prospect. Even though there was an in-game teaser email (found in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag) regarding this possible time period, we have yet to see this franchise tackle the Wild West setting. And after many years of surveys and comments for this time period being highly requested by many fans, I don't believe it is a good idea to find ourselves stalking our target from the shadows in the throes of the

Welcome to the "Revisited Series!" In this series, I am going back through each mainline Assassin's Creed game and "revisiting" them (see what I did there...). After ranking the games in Season 1, I made more bite size episodes about each game to bring closure to my thoughts about them. I appreciate you listening!

Extrapolating One Mechanic from a Game and Adding It...

The Acolyte Podcast ·

2025/02/05

With each game, mechanics seem to be forgotten or not improved upon. I guess that's what happens when you have multiple studios making an anthology-style series. It's really quite stupid to do, in my opinion. However, in this episode I go over some of my favorite mechanics and if I could take them from one game and insert it into another in order to improve the experience and elevating that particular game. This was a fun topic to tackle, and I hope you enjoy it!-The Hooded Shadow
