Thank you for this very interesting collection, and for wrestling with the obviously mixed feelings on this anniversary. And thank…

So for those who don't know, I've been on vacation. In fact, I have just gotten home from being on vacation from my vacation. Even better, that nested vacation followed hard upon a vacation nested in my honeymoon nested in my vacation. So it has been a long time chilling out for me. Prior to…

I have to say that I know exactly how he feels because there was a pretty common consensus that Gamespot always lowballed the scores for Splinter Cell titles. Kasavin gave the original Splinter Cell an 8.6 when the…

Jason Della Rocca has moved his blog Reality Panic, and in the process has done a redesign of the site. I will miss the giant robot.
