Second Best
Sigh. Well neither Thief III or Deus Ex II are going to work for me at the moment, so I resorted to installing KOTOR instead. I hadn’t gotten around to playing this one yet, but now that I’ve given it a bit of a whirl I’m quite enjoying it. It’s an RPG basically, with a slightly odd control system but it’s easy enough to get the hang of. The most annoying thing is probably the party system – but then I just hate parties in games – I’d rather do it all myself 
The other complication is that the universe feels very much like that of Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, but you’re not controlling the character in the same way – you don’t get to jump about and control the lightsaber etc etc, which is a shame. That said though, I’m enjoying it – it’s a nice world to look at and there’s plenty to do in terms of subquests and the like. Lots of storyline gradually unfolding, so I’m happy. Still grumbling inwardly about thief and deus ex though – god I need an upgrade.
That reminds me – turned out I was wrong about the number of spyware thingies that had managed to attach themselves to the winblows install in under 20 minutes – the final total was 30. Yup, “SpyBot Search and Destroy” found thirty of the little buggers. What a nightmare. However I now have firefox setup on it so I no longer have to deal with IE, and my gateway’s firewall protects me from most of the nastier worms that don’t need human intervention. Besides, I’ve booted back to linux and am sitting happily in my swanky enlightenment desktop waiting for an email from Scruff so I can get on with some work. Much nicer Hrm I should post a screenshot….

If you like jumping around and swinging lightsabres you’d probably like Jedi Academy, although it’s more arcade/puzzle than RPG. Have you seen that? I think you’d enjoy, even if you might not play it all the way through.[Reply]
He’s good at not reading things before he replies, isn’t he? <br /><br />Silly boy.

Upgrading certainly is fnu.<br /><br />And yes, sometimes I read faster than I think.

hehehe fnu fnu fnu. And yeah, I did like Jedi Academy – so much so that I finished it…<br /><br />Upgrading would be fun but I seem to be developing this economic conscience that’s giving me grief whenever I think about diverting cash to buy new shiny things…. I blame R, personally
