Gamespot put up a preview of Neverwinter Nights. Nothing new, maybe a few screens I had not seen. I'm concerned about NWN now because of the greatness of Dungeon Siege. I hope that it can hold up to the competition. The multiplayer is obviously the big draw because of the Dungeon Master ability and the toolset. Although, I'm sure I won't be the first, I plan on creating the entire module of Ravenloft into the game and dragging some of my friends through it. White Plume Mountain might also make an appearance. Of course, the toolset will have to be fairly simple. I'm not willing to learn a new computer language to do this. I'm sure all the classic modules will be downloadable anyway.

Also Morrowind went gold, so it should be in stores next month. I may not buy it when it first comes out, since I have not finished Dungeon Siege, or Jedi Knight II, or Blood Omen 2 on Xbox. I'm looking to rent Spider-Man: The Movie, ESPN MLS Extra Time 2002 (that is the worst name for a soccer game I've ever seen), and FIFA World Cup 2002 on Xbox soon as well.

Sometime I should write on the script. The competition deadline creeps ever closer.

As promised, more pics from Dungeon Siege. I finally finished the damn goblin robot hell dungeon. The dungeons in DS are a little big, but just when you think you can't possibly stand to be in the dungeon any longer, you emerge into wilderness...with no load times.

I haven't been playing much Jedi Knight II recently, although I think I'm about finished with the single-player.

Been playing some more Dungeon Siege recently. Here is a screen of my character holding what may appear to be a minigun. It is a minigun. Yes, this a D&D style RPG, but there are apparently miniguns and flamethrowers. There are also goblin-built robots with gatling guns for arms. I'll put some screens of those up sometime later. This game is really really good. If I can get my lame ass friends on board, we'll be playing some multiplayer soon.

You know what else is fun? 8 on 8, Capture the Flag, Jedi Knight II, sabers only. If I can figure out how to take some damned screenshots in Jedi Knight II, I'll post a few. My primitive method of dumping the clipboard image into paint is just that...primitive. I'll have to flip through my Quake III manual and find out how to do that.
