Writing, writing, more writing!

In case the message didn't come across in this entry's title, I've been doing gobs of writing over the past few days. It makes me feel productive, and it's also a lot of fun...so yeah. Also went running today for the first time in about 2 weeks, which felt very good. I think I'll finally take a break from writing/BioShock/The Witcher to go visit my old high school again tomorrow...we shall see. :)

The Witcher = Teh Awesome

I shan't mince words: The Witcher is shaping up to be my new favorite game of all-time, and I'm only now leaving Kaer Morhen. It's perfect. It's the game I've been waiting for since my first RPG, Summoner. Summoner had a chain-attack system where basically you could link your attacks indefinitely if you clicked at the right time during your attack sequence; it was simple, but it made fighting a matter of skill and timing rather than just relying on dice rolls, and I loved it. Since then, I haven't found a single other game that used a chain-attack system (even Summoner 2 ditched it!)...until The Witcher. Add to this the fact that it will soon have a toolset available, that the graphics are the best I've seen ever, and that it uses a pregenerated character (I'm a big fan of pregens), and you've got a winner. It's basically Summoner on steroids...lots of steroids. And this makes me very, very happy. :)
