There's a couple things I neglected to mention.
One, tomorrow we fly to New Jersey for the Ubercon event. I've been to anime conventions and comic conventions, but I've never had a chance to attend a pure gaming convention. It's always been my fantasy to attend GenCon some year, I'm sure Gabe would hate it, might have to fly solo on that one. Also, I've never been to that part of my country, Brenna mentioned yesterday that it's important to keep money on you at all times so that if someone mugs you you have something to give them. Great.
Two, Ramius turned me on to this Mario Brothers flash series that struck me as really profound for some reason. Check it out, here's parts one, two, and three - these are the only completed ones, at least, that I know of.
Finally, there is a Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow event you might enjoy, it's a chance to play the multiplayer portion of the game before release on a movie screen in New York or LA. I know a lot about the way multiplayer works because of this comic we're doing for the game, but I'm fairly certain they'd castrate me if I told you anything. Suffice it to say, you would probably like to see this shit when they unveil it. You could have entered at Xbox.com if I had been faster on the draw, but now your choices are either to enter as an IGN Insider (which you might already be) or enter over at GameStop. Up to you.
