I'm well into Star Wars: KOTOR, and my jedi is now a dual-wielding killing machine. On this first pass I made him a goody-two-shoes, but I can tell by all the nasty stuff I could have done that the dark side path is a fun one too. I might just have to play it again as a murderous, manipulative, power-hungry fuck.

Additional thoughts now that I've played it more:

• The graphics are amazing. Now that I've visited the other worlds, I'm blown away by the quality and diversity of their terrains.


• The fighting animation kicks ass. Watching a group of jedi fuck each other up is a sight to behold.


• Once again, the characters are a blast and their voice actors are top-notch. One of my favorites is a murderous, sarcastic assassin droid named HK-47. Gee, wonder what the "HK" stands for?


• I retract my gripe about the camera, since I got used to it pretty quickly.


• Story keeps getting better. This is one of the few games where I'm really curious to see how it ends.

Okay, enough gushing. This is the game Xbox really needed, so I'm sure old Bill Gates is pretty happy right now.

On a different subject, I think Mean Mike 2 will be a completely new comic, rather than a touch-up of the original. The reason is that, quite frankly, the original one sucks and I have much better ideas for the storyline. Plus I'd like to draw some completely new Mean Mike artwork for a change.
