Splinter Cell: Conviction vs. LOST
So about a week ago I started watching LOST Season 1. (Word of advice: Don’t ever start watching LOST on an airplane!) I only started watching it out of pure boredom, which then turned into easy entertainment and now has become my obsession! I am DETERMINED to catch up before the final season finale so that I don’t get Snape Kills Dumbledore‘d after it airs on TV. I only have a matter of weeks to catch up! It’s shameful to say that when I get off work at 5 o’clock, I rush home, skip the chores, grab my puppy, grab some food and a beverage, and have a LOST-fest til I can’t stand to keep my eyes open anymore.
Since doing so, I’ve had frequent nightmares, I once woke up screaming (I heard myself mid-scream.. WEEIRD!!) and I’m terrified of the dark, imagining Walt covered in water in my bedroom. All of that aside, I’M LOVING IT! I think my friends are a little annoyed by my constant play by play text commentary (*ZOMG JACK & KATE JUST KISSED!*, *ZOMG I HATE SAWYER!* *ZOMG MICHAEL NEEDS TO CALM DOWN!*), but this show is totally worth the 2 weeks of laundry I’ve put behind me.
With that said, Splinter Cell: Conviction came out yesterday. I hope you all enjoy playing it, seeing as how I wont be able to manage the time for it just yet. (Damn me for not having a clone!) I saw the game at PAX which initially sparked my interest. The graphics look amazing! It has some kind of nice & clean-feel to it and I really look forward to playing multiplayer, however I cannot risk the finale of LOST being spoiled by any distraction.
I’m hoping that I’m not crazy (as I previously thought all LOST people were) and that I’ll be catchin up soon! (1 & 2 – LONGEST SEASONS EVER.) I’d like to hear some input on SCC since I haven’t read much about it yet. If it’s *“The most epic game evar!-omg-omg-omg!!..”,* I’d definitely be willing to sacrifice a few hours from my busy LOST-fest schedule to see what it’s all about. If not, you can bet your bottom I’ll be at home ranting about Sawyer being a jerk, Kate bein a slut and OMG Jack! Knock it off with the temper tantrums! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MY FAVORITE!!

Splinter Cell is lots of fun. Its about average length, I beat it in 6-7 hours on normal difficulty I think. The controls different and took me a little bit to get used to, but once you do its pretty natural IMO. Mark and execute is a lot of fun too. Running into a room, slapping a guy in the face with your pistol, then swiftly placing a bullet into the rest of the faces in the room before anyone knows what just happened is very satisfying.
Catch Up on Lost. It will be awesome. Grab that puppy and geek out =D
Will do my friend, will do! :D
I’d definitely do LOST. I can’t imagine what the experience would be like watching them all in a row like that and getting all caught up at once. Enjoy!
Little fact: I haven’t seen Lost, that’s my sister’s thing. Eventually I will, but that’s because one of my favorite comic writers was hired around the middle of season 2 to start helping in the story. Brian K. Vaughn, winner of an Eisner award for his story ‘Y: The Last Man’. Happy watching!
