Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Is A Sad Reminder That Ubisoft Has No Idea What To Do With Sam Fisher

The Sam Fisher I used to admire is gone. While he was a strong character in the early 2000s, Ubisoft has changed him so much over the years that he’s lost his original appeal. They’ve repeatedly altered his story – killing then resurrecting his daughter, sending him to prison, and turning him into a fugitive. The series was even rebooted in 2013, and in the process, Fisher lost his signature wit and personality. More recently, they’ve included him in games like Rainbow Six: Siege and Ghost Recon, even bringing back Michael Ironside to voice him. It’s obvious Ubisoft still remembers Sam Fisher, but they seem unsure how to use him effectively.

The Lost Boys Completely Overshadowed Bill Paxton’s Near Dark

I’ve always loved how different *Near Dark* is from other vampire movies of the time, like *The Lost Boys*. It doesn’t try to be flashy or fun; it takes the romance out of vampirism and shows these creatures as truly dangerous, always hunting for their next meal. They’re basically outlaws, living on the edges of everything, and honestly, it feels more like a gritty western than a typical horror film. That’s a big contrast to how vampires were portrayed in *The Lost Boys*. I think it got lost in the shuffle when it first came out, released so close to that other film, but over the years, *Near Dark* has really become a favorite among horror fans – and for good reason!

Bitcoin’s Wild Ride: 🎢 Is it a Buy or a Bye?

They’re saying it’s “explosive trading” with $53 *billion* in weekly volume. That’s…a lot of ones and zeros moving around, I guess. Almost double the average. Friday alone had $15.3 billion. Which means, statistically speaking, someone was very enthusiastic about 3 AM crypto purchases. Total assets are down 7%? Shocker. It’s like finding out the magic trick isn’t actually magic. It’s just…math. 🤷
