Things To Come

Well. On the recommendation of a few friends. I'm now downloading this new game called 'GunZ'. It seems interesting enough. An MMOTPS (Massive Multiplayer Online Third Person Shooter) about lord knows what. I'm not quite sure if it's what one would consider an MMO however, as it is apparently played similarly to the Jedi Knight games, and it is played in the same way one would use the online multiplayer function of any game. You pick a server, then connect to a game of your liking. Such things include the usual stuff. Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, CTF. There's also something called Assassination, which I'm guessing will be a Juggernaut of kinds.

Now the actual obtaining of this game is quite difficult for poor old me, as I'm confined to the shackles of my 56k modem and as such, the 131 MB file is rather taxing... But having hunted down an option to disable forced reconnections, and a 5 hour connection limit, I'm hoping to be able to download while I sleep. (Sounds like one of those infomercial products that never work)

Tomorrow, or today I suppose seeing the time, I'm going into town to bare witness to that which is War Of The Worlds on the IMax (I seem to have REALY good luck with movies lately as Star Wars III was also on said IMax...) with Yoshi. So you can expect a full report on that when I get back. Or on Monday. Whenever I decide it's worth bothering, as I will probably want to try out GunZ before doing much else.

In any case, I'll just shamelessly plug my Air Force RPB and leave you saying. "It may be the early bird that catches the worm... But it is the fashionably late one that steals it at half the effort".
