Fine ‘n Dandy like Sour Candy
February 24, 2002
As Dennis has mentioned, we have been System Shock 2′ing for the past few nights. It’s a really good game because it takes the best out of first person shooters, suspense thrillers, and puzzling puzzlers (i couldn’t think of an ‘er’ word for puzzles). Something that bothers me is that even when you clear out the level of all monsters, they respawn after awhile and come back and haunt you. Sometimes they respawn in front of your eyes (which doesn’t make sense). The worst are the gaybots - they run after you flailing their flamboyantly gay bodies and then self destruct taking you with him. The next worse thing are those damn monkeys. This game is making me hate monkeys, especially the psi-power throwing monkey. Then there are those midwives who run after you shooting lasers out of their uh… fingers I guess. Of course who can forget those lovely security droids who shoot slow moving plasma balls that resemble the bfg shot in doom in some ways (because they move so slowly). We’re more than halfway through the game and we’ll probably finish in a couple of days.
It gets harder to study with a computer.
