David: Me and my Lightsabers

---

Since I've got Windows on my iMac these days, I've been slowly dipping into the world of Windows gaming.

I'm currently in the middle of playing Knights of the Old Republic 2. It was on sale for $19.99 at Target, and I'm a sucker for the force. I haven't played KOTOR I, but why bother?

I found the game dull to start with. Then, after quite a lot of running around and using swords with batteries in them (they vibrate, which is why they are called Vibroswords...) I was able to build my lightsaber. The game instantly became more fun. Not because it was anymore challenging or the mechanics had changed in any perceivable way, but because now I heard the *whummmm, whummmm, whummmm* of my lightsaber during battle.

Then, this morning before work, I got a another one. Now I have 2!

Plus, it's fun to have an interrogation droid follow me around and make that sound that they make. It's a little creepy and I keep getting the feeling that I'm going to get a hypodermic to the back of my Jedi cranium.

What's worse, when I'm done with the game I'll play it again, due to the branching narratives and choices in the game. Next time I play, I'm gonna go Sith. Damn those Jedi.
