Pondering the Imponderable -- 10:31 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Oh the joys of having acres and acres of open hard drive real estate! In addition to Q3A and UT (which I already had installed), I now have full installs of NHL 2000 (had a partial install before), Shogo, and X-Wing Alliance. I have those as well as Gamespy and the SoF demo on one of my 6.7G partitions and it's not even half full. Muhuhaha.

I've been experiencing a bit of Q3A burn-out recently. That's to be expected since I played nothing but Q3A in December. I've been dabbling a bit more in NHL 2000 and X-Wing Alliance as a change of pace.

When I do get the urge for a first-person shooter, I've been playing Unreal Tournament. I restarted the Tournament on a slightly lower difficulty level so I can make it through and learn all of the maps. I've got a ways to go.

Now that I've had UT for a month, one of these days I'll revisit my Q3A vs. UT article. I think that once I make it through UT, I'll keep playing it for the different game types, but when it comes to deathmatch, Q3A still reigns supreme. I also have to figure out a way to make it more obvious in UT that I am getting hit. The pain sounds are very quiet. It's obvious when someone whaps you upside the head with a rocket, it's not so obvious when they have a minigun trained on you.
