Morning Vent, 27 August 2010

Completing the Resident Evil trifecta, GungirlTM Michelle Rodriguez needs to stop dying in movies and TV series. Seriously.


    On the trip North Wednesday morning, I smoked my usual two stogies. One was the reliable 'Bottom Shelf' figurado. The other was a Baccarat 'King', an 8x52 cigar that looked almost comically huge, like the one smoked by Cameron Mitchell's Karl Rojeck character in My Favorite Year. Look:

    Despite the size, it was a sweet, mild smoke. The cigar had a nice creamy wrapper, and the draw was absolutely perfect. I was very impressed. I'm hoping to smoke this brand again, as I like a mild smoke now and again.


My best recollection of my MW2 single player...

    Included in today's embedded videos is a new Halo: Reach trailer (is it live action? ingame footage? both?) titled 'Deliver Hope'. The trailer is action-packed, cunningly edited and scored, and it does what I think Halo hype does best: Evoke emotion. Maybe it's because I'm a sentimental old soldier, but the Halo ads which catch my attention most are those which feature self-sacrifice. It's tough for me not to want to play a game which just might have moments like that in it. Sadly, the Halo hype is far better than the Halo game. It's probably a good thing that the producers of these Halo shorts aren't working for the Ministry of Propaganda, or we'd all be goose-stepping in short order. And me first in line. Moving on...
