Midnight Club II PC and Battlefield: 1942 stuff

This was a good week for releases. We saw Galactic Conquest, the Star Wars mod for Battlefield: 1942 and the demo for the new Secret Weapons mod were both released. I’d also highly recommend you check out the XIII demo, which was also released this week. Everything’s available for download at Fileshack. You have to register for an account, but it’s free and the downloads are very fast once you get through the queue.

I just set up an Xbox to USB adapter, so I can use my Xbox gamepads for PC games. I’m going to play some Midnight Club II with it, and let you know how it goes. It looks promising so far, but I’m not sure that the controllers triggers will show up as analog controls in games. The gamepad might be my new favorite way to fly in Battlefield.

I’ve put a few more hours into Knights of the Old Republic, mainly late at night when I don’t feel like commiting to an hour or two of multiplayer play online someplace else. I’m still enjoying it as much as before. I’ve gotten the knack of combat, and all the Jedi characters I use have the Force freeze ability, which lets me freeze those pesky extra attackers. I’m still undecided whether the single, double bladed saber does more damage than dual-wielding sabers does. Luckily, the same feats give bonuses to dual-wielders and double-bladed saber users, so I can swap them up some.

The story’s progressing well. I’m still playing as a goody-goody Jedi, although there are a couple of places that you have to get downright unpleasant in order to do the right thing. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to wait for the PC version to play it again as an evil bastard though.

I also want to document my creation of a new emoticon. It call it The Bird. ..|.,

When it starts popping up everywhere, remember, you saw it here first :)

Midnight Club’s done installing. Off to play!
