Even a good game can glitch. This is the best one our new intern, Lauren Orsini, has found for Splinter Cell: Conviction on YouTube so far. The guy’s just trying to shake tape off his hand. Too bad he’s dead.

I had a problem. I had to complete the Splinter Cell Co-Op campaign, but my co-op buddy was gone for the weekend. So be it. I turned on the game and prepared to wield two controllers. Let me take you back to last Friday, when I decided to — ugh — work from home so…
