The writing is coming along fine. I'm running through the first four chapters adding a few things,
and just about ready to take the Party from Earth to the first world they encounter. :D

All is well here in my little corner of the world, I'm happy to say. :)

For real, all three of them were born a few miles from Churchill Downs. XD

Wrong order :-)

At least IMO, Plutonia is far superior gameplay-wise. I've beaten them both on Ultra-Violence and Plutonia sometimes was just insane. I didn't have that kind of kicks with TNT. TNT on the other hand had the more impressive eye-candy, using every trick and hack to make the engine look as impressive as possible (in it's day, of course).

Are you playing the original DOS version or a source port?

Play it on easy is a good idea for most occasions, not just when pressed for time, especially on a first play through too.

I think RPGs have that effect on a lot of us, even more so when the loot is good in the game.

How cool is that! They're even miniature right? (I think I'm remembering that correctly).

Thank you, everyone in my family hope so too...

Yeah mini.

I actually seem to like TNT more so far, as it has new music. We'll see, though.

I'm using GZDoom, but have disabled anything that wasn't existent in the original Doom, like jumps or mouselook. I must say, though, that in some places mouselook would have been very useful (damn chaingunners!).

I did try it a bit in the past and it was interesting how you could turn a simple villager into a swordsman.

I'm kind of jealous - I have a thing for tiny farm animals. Isn't one of them even still a lil' baby to boot (or at least a bit younger)?

They're all around 2 years old. Eeyore is one and a half.

And through different disciplines of training turn your swordsman into other types of units, which
makes you manage your resource gatherers (villagers) a bit differently. If I remember correctly, each
unit has their own individual animations (for combat) too. :)

That sounds promising. Now that I have completed Carmageddon, I might give it a go (assuming I can resist the lure of Carmageddon 2).

On another - more brighter - note. I really liked playing Guild Wars 2 today. And yes i know, that i'm late to the party but the game's really good.
