Dean's Thoughts on Entertainment

Pauses to be Expected.

I have moved out of the heavily populated area of Northern Philadelphia and into the back woods of Northern Pennsylvania. It is nice and rustic and quiet. However, it does not have the sweet internet connection that I had previously, therefore internet will be done over the modem, and since I have been spoiled with the Cable hookup I don't have the patience yet to deal with dialup. So updates will be less often for a little while. But I will guarantee at least 2 updates a week, and aim for 3-4. In the hustle of moving up here though, I have experienced little media so I have little to say. However, you will get one game review.

Counter-Strike - Condition Zero for PC



I bought this as a severance package for myself as I left behind the sweet network of my previous apartment. Since I could no longer kill terrorists with my roommate Jon, I had to replace him with a Computer partner named Buzz. If you ever played Counter-Strike this is a sweet offline way to play the game, and the updated levels and graphics are deeply enjoyable. But the A.I. is what impresses me, the computer players and enemies are even better than playing against real people. Your teammates communicate like you wish your team would with things like, "The Bomb is down at B, I'll keep an eye on it.", "I'm going to camp A." "The Hostages are secure and ready for an escort." and "I'm DANGEROUS!" Yes that's right, they even talk smack on the enemy. And when you win a round sometimes they hop like people do online. The enemy camps all the right spots and they constantly adapt and change their strategy to fool you. So when you get to sniping, they work to rock you from behind. I love this game, and I don't think I will get tired of this game. Although, I say that a lot and many games have worn out on me...but this one is different.
