And here it is. The conclusion of the story arc started in issue one of this monthly, as we get the final confrontation between Zayne, Lucien and Haazen.
Its no secret that I love this series. Its one of my favourite monthlies (only slightly behind the GL titles) and its currently the only one [...]

Knights of the Old Republic is really firing with full thrusters at the moment.
For those that haven’t followed the series, its about Zayne Carrick, a failing Jedi Padawan, who finds himself on the run with the local wannabe crime lord and various others when the Jedi Masters kill his fellow padawans. Finding himself [...]

Well, it was the announcement we’d been waiting for.  Lucasarts are teaming up with Bioware for another crack at the MMO market.   
I’m glad to see Bioware having another go at the Old Republic era.  Since I’d pretty much given up hope on ever seeing Knights of the Old Republic 3 it’ll be great to [...]

I’ve talked before about my love for the Knights of the Old Republic series from Dark Horse. Granted during Vektor I really struggled with it, but now they’re unencumbered by the crossover event, things have really kicked off, with Zayne moving towards his final confrontation with Lucien.
Issue #30 picks up where we left off. [...]

It was a great comics week last week. First up was Final Crisis #1, which I’ve already talked about and I enjoyed.
Next up was Green Lantern 31.   I admit, I wasn’t really looking forward to the retelling of Hal’s origin.   However Johns is doing a reasonable job of interweaving in new elements that play [...]

Bit of a mixed bag this week comics-wise.
First up, and possibly the biggest release of the week for DC fans is the Final Crisis sketchbook.
As a tease of what’s upcoming I think it works well.  We get a look at the redesigns instore for some of the New Gods as well as a look at [...]

The big win of the week for me though was Blue Beetle. I’d picked up the first few issues of Keith Giffen’s run, but I didn’t really get into it. However the JLI-reunion promised on the title suckered me and I picked up issues 23 and 24 as well to get a better [...]

Well, since I previously talked a bit about replaying Knights of the Old Republic, I figure I should revisit its sequel as well.
Set an uncertain amount of time after the original, the player takes the role of the Jedi Exile. The Sith have returned to the galaxy, wiping out most of the jedi, and [...]

So, last night I cracked and started playing through Knights of the Old Republic again.
It and its sequel are two fantastic games (although the second has its problems due to its rushed nature), and I never tire of playing them. I tend to play through each of them a couple of times a year, [...]

Ran the latest bunch of Ubuntu updates last night, which nicely killed my installation. Fortunately I eventually twigged that the updates had included a new kernel image, and was able to reboot off the old one. Fiesty Fawn (Ubuntu 7.04) was released yesterday, so that’ll be the weekend’s project.
Finished replaying Star Wars: Knights [...]
