Little bit of whatever

Well, the first thing we should do here is get the NWN2 news out of the way. I finished another noble house in it's entirety; I actually decided to do the NPCs and conversations before taking the screenshots, so check them out:

You know, I think my mouse is taking a crap. It's randomly double clicking when I want to single click, which aside from being mildly annoying, makes me click things I don't want to, sometimes detrimentally. Well, detrimentally as far as things on your personal computer go, it's not like I'm going to launch a nuke or something. Although having that kind of access would probably mean having a really high tech mouse instead of the one I have now, which is pretty normal, although there are two extra buttons on the side! But those go either back or forward in IE, which means sometimes I grab the mouse after writing out a long post on a forum or something and accidentally press the back button, which is possibly more annoying than random double clicking. Come to think of it, I kind of hate this mouse!

Regardless of all that, there's only one noble house left to build, then it's quest time! And finishing the mod time! And fixing bugs. That last one doesn't deserve an exclamation point!

So, yeah, that's progress.

Now I know rap isn't very popular in the cRPG circle (what do you all listen to? Queen or some stuff I'm guessing?), go listen to this first track on this mixtape, you'll like it:

Finally, I took some time this weekend to play a classic: Dominions 3. I'm probably going to be writing a guide over at their forums over the next week to one of the nations in it. I wrote a few like a year or two ago when I was waiting for NWN2 to come out, and I picked it up this weekend and thought I should write another one.

Anyway, I highly recommend the game.

What else is going on? In an ultimate display of hilarity (no offense guys! I didn't do this to you, remember that!), Obsidian annouces a new expansion around the same time Mysteries of Westgate gets delayed for the...well I lost count, it's been almost a year since it was annoucned as "done". Now begins the race to which will be released first. Honestly, my money would be on Storm of Zehir, despite it's really stupid "this is obviously fantasy" name. Apparently, though, you can bet on professional curling, arm wrestling, and tug of war but not Neverwinter Nights. So my actual money isn't actually on anything.

Anyway, I'm just saying it's getting to the point where it's more of a joke than something I'm actively anticipating. I mean, what do you want me to say though? Sorry guys, I'd say I feel bad, but didn't Atari screw you over with Darkness Over Daggerford?

Oh well, life goes on. I kind of feel bad contributing to the negativity surrounding the whole Mysteries of Westgate fiasco. Being a video game fan, a rap fan, and a Family Guy fan (which all of the sudden they went from brilliant to sucks? What?), I can't even say how often you go to find some info about something you like and all you hear are haters floating around with diss posts on the net about it.

I guess I just turned into one of them! Crap.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not feeling this newly announced expansion. How come Obsidian keeps thinking that the most interesting thing you can do with NWN2 is to make it a strategy game?
