Filler update...
Um.. Yeah. I've run into many problems regarding getting up part two of my exceedingly long rant up over the past couple of days.

First off, my computer's been really slow over the past few days. Some adware seems to have been stuffed into my computer, and all of these popup ads have been injuring my computer's poor little 256 MB RAM. Between my constant multitasking (I'm on AIM, Yahoo Instant Messenger, two internet browsers, and watching a DVD right now) and the painful popup ads, it's been very hard to get any documents written without the computer crashing.

I ran two or three spyware/adware searches yesterday, and ended up deleting 27 files. The problem's still here, though to a lesser extent. I think we may have to take this computer into the shop (second time, now) and just have them fix it all again.

The first two days of Spring Break were utterly dull. Nothing interesting was happening, online or off. I beat Metal Gear Solid a second time (Woo-hoo, no more Lovely Elephant), and the game in general was losing its luster. I needed some other game to keep myself occupied.

Splinter Cell came to mind rather quickly when I thought of other stealth-based games. I had never played the game before, though I had tried to get my hands on it once, but the thought of a Tom Clancy game seemed rather refreshing at the time. I also planned on renting Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life.

Hollywood Video had one copy of Splinter Cell left, but they were out of Harvest Moon. I went over and found a copy of James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing instead.

Splinter Cell was just as I expected it to be- Metal Gear Solid-esque with superior gameplay, but with a thinner plot. It is a very fun game. Earlier today I got into CIA headquarters, and Sam Fisher's new Ninja-ish outfit is awesome. Not to mention the thermal visor ability.

Everything or Nothing.. Isn't as good as Splinter Cell. I do like it a bit more than Nightfire, because first person games are rather restricted in what you can do in most cases (Third Person firefights are much more easy to work with). The new rappel gadgets are fun, but I feel that they were rather overused in the first few stages.

Now, I'm off to kick my brother off the Nintendo so I can play Everything or Nothing. Later.
