VG247: Now. We received a postcard from Italy this morning, showing a Venice scene. The postmark, however, isn't Venetian. There's nothing written on it at all. Hit the link to see a hi-res shot.
There's a few reasons why there's almost certainly something fishy going on here:
1. The image shows Venice. Seen Venice in the news recently?
2. There's a plaque on the right sporting the words "Da Vinci". Seen Da Vinci in the news recently?
3. We don't know anyone in Venice, from Venice, or related to Venice in any way.
4. It's highly unlikely anyone we do know in Italy would send us a postcard of Venice.
5. We run a videogames website. This is probably about a videogame.
We've asked Ubi for comment. Take a look for yourself.
GF365: "Oftentimes, video games have characters who are antagonistic and really not very pleasant. Here are some of the friendliest characters in games where you might not otherwise expect to find them."

GF365: "Most games are not perfect and that may be because of a character or an enemy. Here are 10 mediocre bosses in great games."
The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
