...discovered last night as I was watching myrialux play Assassin's Creed II: if, while Ezio is holding a box, you move him side to side rapidly, it looks just like he's doing a dorky little dance.
:D The camera movement makes me a little seasick, but I can watch Toby play for a while, while making snarky comments about Ezio's not being too bright or laughing at places where the rendering went a little wonky (his girlfriend nuzzling him and putting her face through his collar, for one). But I'm enjoying the footnotes, and how Ezio can fall on top of random citizens without them doing anything other than get mildly offended. (Toby accidentally broke an NPC's box of fruit. He followed Ezio, complaining loudly, until Toby had Ezio turn around and deck him. After that, two ladies who were standing in Ezio's way walked backwards away from him in terror for a while. XD That's nice gamebuilding.)
Although whenever he doesn't make it *quite* all the way onto the eagle perches, so that he's crouching in midair, I laugh like a drain. XD
ETA: But the Box Dance is the best part! Toby has strict instructions to let me know the next time he comes across a box he can pick up, so I can go get my camera and film it. XD
I have discovered the Box Dance also works when, uh, carrying a body. Not that I have tried the Box Dance per se, because I have not had access to a box again, but I thought of your post when I DID have something to carry... even if it did happen to be the body of someone I'd just killed... >.>;

I'm really loving ACII right now. Gorgeous game, and the in-game footnotes are deeply happymaking.
