yawns

you know you can't handle it anymore when you were playing knights of the old republic, and the next thing you know is that two hours have passed and you've not progressed because you fell asleep, sitting straight on your chair.

apparently waking up 8 in the morning, going to classes, taking a midterm, spending the entire day in the computer lab finishing up dubin's homework, then going home at 6 in the evening and playing KotOR until 6 in the morning is too much for me. so i decided to nap on the bed, only to not wake up until 12.30.

i love this kind of life. no studying involved.

so i've progressed a little farther, and i've unlocked 9 out of the 10 possible characters. i have 3 droids: the annoying HK-47, G0-T0 and T3-M4; a technician: bao-dur; an annoying old hag: kreia; a pilot: atton; and 3 hot chicks: mira, visas, and the handmaiden. mira is by far the hottest character so far. with her red hair and bitchy attitude, a man could not ask for more.

sadly, the romance so far turns out like any old chinese kung-fu movies: three girls fighting for one guy. the only difference is that one is in denial (the handmaiden), one is emotionless (visas), and the other one has too much attitude (mira). i swear, mira reminds me of kristin. i think i'd have to take away the official bitch card from kristin and give it to mira.

the storyline's getting better, but unlike its predecessor, you don't get to find out more as you level up; sometimes you'll have to wait as long as 4-5 level ups before other characters tell you more about themselves, or about yourself. so far it seems like the handmaiden will be the one romance candidate, but i'd like to see romance with mira instead. or visas.

another thing i notice is the different leveling up. in KotOR1, you get to pick whether you want to be a soldier, a scout, or a scoundrel, and each has their own advantage (always pick soldier. screw slicing computers, you've got T3-M4 to do that). this levels up to 12, and then you become a jedi and you can pick guardian, sentinel, or consular, which levels up another 8. that makes your character have 20 levels to level up. here, in KotOR2, apparently you started out being a jedi. so you get to pick whether you want to be a jedi guardian, sentinel, or consular at the beginning. then, after you reach level 14, you can pick your path: jedi weaponmaster, jedi watcher, or jedi master. the latter sounds cooler so i picked it. right now my character is a level 14 jedi guardian, level 2 jedi master. i hope it doesn't stop at level 8 master, because then i'd max out my character long before the end.

the thing with being a jedi consular that i've noticed, is that you get to play around with so many different forces. and damn all these are quite useful. the problem is there isn't enough time to activate all of them in a battle. the ones i like to use during a battle is BATTLE MEDITATION, SPEED, ARMOR, INSPIRE FOLLOWERS. but usually by the time i activated the last one, all the enemies are dead, killed by the other party members. so that's rather pointless.

maybe next time i'll pick guardian, or weaponmaster.

i've finished main quests in telos, and i just finished nar shadaa last night. currently i'm on korriban, looking forward to kicking some sith ass. total playing hour: 19h19m.

okay, almost 2pm. time to play again.

eDIT: oh DAMN, past 20,000 hits already?
