So it turns out that almost nobody has seen me since about Monday or so, and if they have seen me, the conversation hasn't been worth a lot, as I have been firmly focused on one thing, and that one thing has been KOTOR II. Because, well, holy shit.
Those of you who remember me talking about the original KOTOR, be it the first or second times I played through, will remember me saying much the same thing, namely that this game is awesome and to sacrifice sleep and friendships for it is a small price to pay to bask in such glory.
It's not a hard game, really, not in the way the first game could be frequently deadly to your person, and maybe that has something to do with my leet character building skillz, but I don't think so. On the other hand, the plot, the character interaction, everything else surpasses the first game in ways that make the very proficient first KOTOR look like something out of the Triassic. Which is to say that while the first KOTOR's plot was awesome, and while in one spot it utterly, completely blew my mind, the second KOTOR's plot is if not superior to the first definitely supplements it in such a way that the two become absolutely inseperable parts of a whole. Too, it is the first game in quite some time where, although I guessed some of what was going on, the true magnitude of the thing escaped me, and in at least three seperate spots I was forced to pause to clean up the grey ooze from my utterly and completely blown mind.
They've left it all neatly open for KOTOR III, and I can't wait. Bring it on.

Now then, more WoW, please.
Really only the once, but, you know.
I mean, come on, folks. It's a game where you get to go around zotting people with lightning. And honestly, if you didn't like that part of Return of the Jedi, there's something wrong with you.
