Lost Fans?

Any Lost-ies out there. I am a fan, I watched the show from season 1 - 4 starting in mid summer. Great stuff. There are spoilers if you haven't watched them all, but here are some alternate endings to season 4.

News?

Well there isn't much gaming news. I've been playing Jedi Knight Jedi Academy for the 14th time for my two youngest boys. They LOVE it and can't get enough. I'm a bit tired of the game but I'm never tired of my kids. Otherwise I'm still playing Age of Empires III. Not much Neverwinter in the past few weeks, but I'm keeping up with Neverwinter Podcast and doing a blog roll once and a while. All is well I suppose. Quite busy but well.

Halloween Mod

I submitted my areas for the Halloween module yesterday. Hopefully everyone enjoys them. They are simple but hopefully entertaining.

Dark Avenger - Hythum

I've been playing Dark Avenger Part 2 (finally). It's the first mod I've played since I stopped modding. So far it lives up the first part and the area design is better than the original, it's very moody and really contributes effectively to the story, some of the tactical situations are interesting too, the open battle comes to mind right away. It's a great deal of fun and I've got to give two thumbs up to Wyrin for a job very well done. I'll write more when I've finished it. I've talked to Skunkeen about Hythum, and he's going to take a look at my wiki, notes, and finished areas. I've offered them to him if he'd like to try to make use of them. The odds of me returning to modding are decreasing each day, although my closest friends all smile when I tell them I'm done and refuse to believe me.
