Good stuff!
Aug. 6th, 2008 03:50 pmThis has actually been a good Wednesday! I beat Knights of the Old Republic and received my package of Amazon goodies that I blew part of my internship stipend on. The goodies include a book by Steven Brust, all of the Samurai Jack and Batman Beyond season DVDs that I didn't have before, and the entire Brisco County Jr. series on DVD. That last I actually got in hopes of one day writing a Doctor Who-Brisco County crossover, foolish as that may sound.
With regards to Knights of the Old Republic, also known as KotOR, it's just as awesome as I've been hearing. It has some sound problems on the Xbox 360 and some annoying interface issues that are (mostly) cleared up in its spiritual successor, Mass Effect, but the writing is good, the character-building and advancing system is awesome - albeit much easier to handle if you've played D&D - and, well, it's just plain fun to explore. I played Light side last time: I wonder if I can do Dark side next time around? Although I might wimp out on it, like I do in Mass Effect when it comes to being a renegade.
Oh, I'm going to New York on Friday, and I will be over there through the weekend and into the week. I should still have internet access but I might be too busy to make use of it.
