I’m going to be very honest about two things right now.

1. I am very excited for Splinter Cell Conviction this week.
2. I have never finished a Splinter Cell game in my life… because I always get frustrated and quit.

I remember playing Chaos Theory (quit at level 3)… or rather, TRYING to play Chaos Theory with Maranda back when it came out. Let’s just say that it was a dark period in our relationship. I’m hoping Conviction’s focus on being a deadly predator helps to sooth the co-op stealth gameplay itch we’ve been looking to scratch for all these years.

In other news, I need to remind you that our store is now open for business.  We’ve completely sold out of X08 prints, but there are a few X07 and X09 prints left.  As I mentioned earlier, we’ll also be adding some X09 derivative prints (non-limited edition) pretty soon.  I’ve had a few questions about the odd shipping, so let me take a moment to explain weirdness.  Because of strange limitations in the software, every time you add an item it will add a $10 shipping charge.  This is silly, of course.  If you purchase three prints we’re going to ship them all in one box and the shipping cost will only be $10.  SO, if you purchase multiple items, please know that we will REFUND YOU ALL SHIPPING CHARGES BEYOND THE $10 MARK.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go play some more Dragon Age Awakenings to clear my plate for Conviction.

Out.

On April 1st at 12:00PM EST I will be opening the door on our new store. What’s in that store? Prints. Very rare prints.

Every year I trek down to Toronto with a box of prints to give away to the community (and a few devs). Every year I return with around ten or so, carefully package them, and place them into a box.  I have opened the box, and now it’s time to set the prints free! I’m not kidding about the rare thing. I have less than ten of each!

• x07 – 7 prints
• x08 – 1 solitary print
• x09 – 4 prints

Once these are gone… that’s it. I will never be printing more.  If you’re interested I suggest you keep this page under a watchful eye.

All prints are professionally printed on 8″x11″ card stock and will be made available for $19.99CAD each. For a refresher on what each of them looks like, we’ve got some preview images after the jump!

One of the most amazing things about Mass Effect is the different stories that everyone can have. I can tell you that I managed to have everyone survive. My better half? Well, she had other ideas.

This week brings us a replacement for the horribly broken Mako from ME1.  Surprisingly, I was one of those few people that actually enjoyed the obscure vehicle sections of the original game.  I’m very much looking forward to see what kind of new gameplay elements Bioware has cooked up for us. Those costumes though… not entirely sold on those.
