Splinter Cell: Conviction is exceptionally fun. I had a blast playing the single-player mode, finding out about Sam Fisher’s latest adventure and the trouble he faced, saving the world and learning about the mystery of his daughter’s death. It was exciting, well-written and compelling. In fact, this might have been the most connected emotionally I’ve [...]

Splinter Cell: Conviction Demo Impressions
March 18th, 2010 
Seth Being a die-hard Splinter Cell fan, this was an immediate download for me. It was also years-worth of waiting, hype, delays and more, so when I played the demo, I had lots of expectations. First off, the overall tone IS Splinter Cell, including the mood, writing, music, acting, etc. I so far very much like [...]
Learning the Ropes, Halo-Style
September 11th, 2009 Seth Darren, Chris and I recently played a round of Halo 3. Darren, being a beginner, was dropped frequently as he learned the weapons, the vehicles and the controls altogether. The next night, he decided to cut a musical montage of his more interesting deaths, which I begged him to let me upload and share. It’s [...]
Money for… Nothing
August 11th, 2009 Seth I just paid $5 for virtually nothing. It makes my avatar look cool. It’s a developer/publisher I’m happy to support with my dollars, but it’s something I can’t really ever interact with, just display. I paid for an outfit to make my Xbox Live avatar look like a character from a game series I like; [...]
Now I Want to Get Back into GTA
July 27th, 2009 Seth I’ve seen several of these before, but this one had me laughing out loud several times. It makes me want to get back into the game to screw around more.
“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”, A Surprise on Two Fronts
May 5th, 2009 Seth I’ll start out by saying that I never watched the leaked “work print” of the movie that came out several weeks ago, which seems to be the source of most of the trash talk, since it was only released four days ago (from posting this). After hearing all the negativity, I had pretty low expectations [...]
Good Game Trailers II
April 27th, 2009 Seth I apparently like game trailers with interesting music choices, like in my first post like this. This is an old one, but now, after starting watching House, I remembered this one. If you know the show, you’ll probably know why. Do you like this one? What trailers stick with you?
“House, M.D.” & Bargain Bin Specials
April 23rd, 2009 Seth I’m slow on some issues. Many of my friends, including probably the biggest proponent, Regan, have been hounding me to start watching House, M.D. I kept saying, “I have too many shows already. I can’t get involved in another.” This was a mistake. I recently got Season 1, Disc 1 from Netflix, and watched the [...]
Good Game Trailers
January 14th, 2009 Seth I like them. Epic has done a great job with their Gears of War ads. I was showing Angie last night and she liked them, too. I took that as a sign that they were a little more than an average gameplay trailer, especially since Gears is NOT her type of game. The first one, [...]
The Goose is Getting Fat
December 18th, 2008 Seth Right now, I have very few Christmas gifts bought. I have nearly everyone on my list picked out, but have only actually purchased/built/etc around 40% of the presents. I do this every year, and it’s never a problem, but this year, watching all the morons at the intersection of Burkhardt and the Lloyd, it makes [...]
