Important Transport Bulletin
Only for those in Melbourne, naturally. Back in April, when the Metcards had price adjustments, they changed the way that 10 times 2 hour tickets work. Now, if you validate them a second time in one day, they automatically last you until 2am the next morning. How sweet is that?
Well, it’s pretty good, anyhow.
I got Neverwinter Nights yesterday, having ordered it online the day before. Pretty efficient. My adventuring career is going well. Except, I keep trying to charm animals, and I do, and they’re my friend, but my actual human friend hasn’t noticed and keeps trying to hit it: which makes it angry and distinctly uncharmed. So I keep trying to charm, and he keeps getting hit by my stupid friend, and one of them dies while I desperately try to keep them apart.
And yes, I know Neverwinter Nights is a really old game that you can get for $20 for a PC. But that is the way of Macs and Games.

Always. Never. I have a flea but I don’t ride it.
No, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

That’s another one fo the problems of an AI controlled henchman. Matt’s henchman would often attck my charmed animal. I did develop a technique to calm the henchman down but I forget what it was. The only advice I cna give is to charm it while the henchman is attacking something else.

Now that I’m a level six Ranger I get my very own familiar animal, so I won’t be so concerned about my brief friendship with cougars and the like. Often if I see animals in the room, I close the door quickly, tell little Tomi to hold his ground, and then nip in and charm the beast.
NWN isn’t the most complex of games but it has a certain charm. Jackson has pointed out that some of the things I liked about Knights were very simple, clichéd aspects of RPGs. I think they appeal to me for a similar reason that Pylea appealed to Angel in Through the Looking Glass. You’re the hero, you collect the items, save the people, challenge the evil person. No weapons, no defences, no plan. Well, alright, weapons and defences and a vague plan.
Incidentally, my familiar is a Dire Wolf called Blaidd Drwg.

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping. I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it. God will appreciate it.
