Just as a warning, the video has a couple of instances of profanity. Why you'd want to sully such a beautiful moment is, frankly, beyond us.

You fail in so many ways...
Watchmen had a giant alien like tentacle creature. If you ever read the book you'd know it barely resembled a squid or an octopus.. Besides the tentacles obviously =P
And it was the size of times square, maybe bigger!
You'd do better comparing it to 20,000 Leauges Under the Sea.

Really?

Tentacles? Check. Single eye? Check. Mouth like a squid? Check.
And the majority of everywhere talked about "Is there going to be a squid in the movie like there was in the book????"
ANYWAY, whatever.

Yes, I appreciate this.
So then it's a single-eyed cephalopod, is that fair?

Wonderful game, and this yet another one of the great aspects of Assassin's Creed II.
That squid was really cool by the way, and I didn't expect it to be that huge.

I'm glad I saw this. I suck at finding easter eggs.. Now I know where to look. :D
The only ones I recall finding out by myself were the "stare at meryl for some time" one in MGS, and seeing her in underwear.
...
Yep.

Hey folks. Glad to see everyone enjoyed the video I made.
Sorry for the profanity. It was my first viewing of the squid; it took my by surprise as much as most viewers. I honestly thought it was a lie.

He was probably just filming in case it was true to upload to youtube and if it wasn't... well lets say theres a recycle bin for a reason.

I heard about the easter egg through a forum user named Anthony. I thought it was BS, but decided to test it out and wanted to play with the camera.
So I made preparations in case it was real. It obviously was, and I was pretty surprised. Apparently, you can't repeat it, though after the first time, according to some online.

It's just an Easter egg, dude, settle down. Trust me, u wouldn't be happy if every time u landed in the water, especially on that board where u WILL end up in there a few times, that this thing, uhh, "ate your ass". I really hope u, erm, don't like your ass eaten on the regular...

Is there a reason it's a squid, and not something, I dunno, sillier like a dragon or something? I feel like I'm missing the joke :(
Unless it's supposed to be scary or something, in which case a giant mo' f'n shark would have been better :P

Again, it's just an Easter egg. Gaming devs do things like this a lot, since the beginning of gaming. Settle down. Nothing "stupid" about it, especially since the game is great. Took me a whole week to finish it because it was so addictive and that's only because the layoff bug got me. Otherwise, It could have taken me a month if I were still working.

The music tomb music is VERY reminiscent of the "Squid Theme" from the movie "Sphere". I think thats why they put it in there.

I say go for it. It is LONG. I finished it last night and this is after buying it on release day and playing it religiously. I loved it. MUCH better than the first game. The story I didn't connect with much but still, it was a great ride. I got damn near everything and just need to finish all contracts and get 40 more of the feathers to get all 100. Not looking forward to that part, though. I may not do it unless I get a book or IGN completes it's guide.

Since I have a big reputation on the internet, I would like to know what both of you think nonplussed means, because it fits my message just fine.

As the only authority on what I meant to say, I did indeed mean to say confused (see my first response?!). It followed a "How" question and all. Additionally, with even a speck of ambiguity on my intended meaning, you were improper to assume one way or another. I know you have a big reputation on the internet to defend, but seriously.... lay off.
