I'm constantly reminded how great these old FF games are, despite their thin plots. I just had to get on board the Dreadnought, free Princess Hilda, and blow up the engine - and I did it all while Poisoned, Blind, and without using any magic (effectively eliminating one team member so I could save MP for healing). Love it when I just scrape through like that, heh. Great game. Great game.
You're right though, Nav - the random battles can become tedious, but in some cases (like the Dreadnought, where there are no other battles) they add to the challenge in a good way.

I started getting back into my all-time favorite game, Baldur's Gate II. My poor Xbox is being neglected, heh.

Yes, I found it in a little used games shop a couple of years back. It unusual, inventive, and fun for a while; but I found the endless cycle of go to the tower, leave, sleep, repeat wore thin pretty quickly. The interaction with the characters was the only thing that stopped it being utterly tedious. Sorry

When I was a wee kid I was all about the Oregon Trail... I would've played it constantly if I didn't need to eat (and if I didn't have kid pix

) I can't imagine sitting through that game now... Blaughh

Back on topic, Dungeon Siege: Legends of Arana is pretty chouettly for me right now.

Oh man, I have to take some screen shots. I bought an Athlon 2.7xp with a Radeon 9600xt installed. I have the game on full graphic settings and it doesnt slow down. Simply beautiful.
At a Hammerite Temple at the moment. I miss the guys.

Been playing Gladius on the Xbox. Too early to tell if this game is good or not. I'll be back with an update.

I just tried The Suffering on Xbox... it was not fun walking home at night.

I have not been playing any games recently... except the one I am making.

Sim City 4. I have yet to make a profit, at any time, no matter how mch I reduce my spending.

Edit - played again, and just about managed to hold it at 800 income, 760 output, so I think I'm finally getting the hang of it.

Out of boredom, I started Gran Turismo 3 over.

I want that. However, I have little enough time as it is

Playing Doom 3 on nightmare mode now - of the terror!

Way to rub it in, URV.

I'll get my chance soon enough.
