Mine has to be cop procederals and paper money.

A)I just like solving mysteries and problems and have a natural deference to authority figures, so I've watched way too many cop shows. The only one I'm not ashamed to name is The Wire, which is really good and probably is the only one with genuine substance.

B)It's not the concept of money I enjoy, i just like having a physical thing I exchange to get another physical thing. I..."dislike" per se, using numbers on a screen to get food or something.

As far as media goes that you know is shit ideology, but you do it anyway, probably AC series for me. Now that I'm replaying some of it post-liberal-brain, it's glaringly obvious to me how much weird stuff is going on in it. Lot of "great man theory" and that's not even getting into the whole thing about

reducing human history to two factions who vie for power behind the scenes and use magic items and links to a mysterious civilization to help.

I thought it was much cooler when I was younger and was oohed and awed by the mystery of it. Now I see the superhero/supervillain themes much more distinctly, along with cartoon portrayal of class divides that are common to superhero themes. But the gameplay and the power fantasy of it is fun. Not enough to buy the newest one coming out though, screw that lol. Overpriced to hell and probably the same repetitive Ubisoft gameplay formula to a forgettable degree. I'll stick to enjoying what I already have.

It took me a while to figure out that you were referring to Assassin's Creed instead of Alpha Centauri or Armored Core.

Lol, oops. I was gonna say the full name and then I hesitated on it cause of the A word and its use in a space like this and who could be watching in an automated way that doesn't grasp context well, etc. In retrospect, I don't think it actually matters, I don't know what exactly I think would be a problem about it. As it is, I've probably used the word assassinate before here in reference to the empire couping other countries and their leaders.
