What an unconvincing thumbs-up that is, by the way. I don't believe that's real happiness. I apologise to my readers. I mean it with considerably more enthusiasm.
Anyway. In light of Hit Self-Destruct's new positive outlook I am redacting something I wrote a few days ago. Not the thing about Baldur's Gate being insufferably banal or the thing about the vampire cosplayers. No, I am instead taking back my vaguely disparaging reference towards the game Neverwinter Nights 2, which I have never played. All that changes now because I am holding it in my hand as i type. I am lookinh at it eight now ./ Instead of doing my job snd lookingat the screen like a pro. I will nevrer write for game set watch with this work ethic. There. How convincing was that.
Honestly, even though I liked Obsidian's Knights of the Old Republic 2 a lot, I don't really want to play this game. The expansion, on the other hand, Mask of the Betrayer, has garnered significant praise and sounds like a game I would enjoy very much. Here I am, then, about to play through some buggy semi-hardcore epic fantasy RPG. Sounds like a great time. Maybe it's not as mediocre and unpolished as I've heard, or who knows, maybe it is and I'll actually like it. If I don't like it, you know where you won't be reading about it: Hit Self-Destruct a.k.a. Positivity Junction. I'm registering that domain name by the way. Change your bookmarks.

To summarise: who's played this game? Did you like it? Is there some secret Neverwinter Nights 2 codeine which will make this experience bearable? Or am I off-base and needlessly bitching in a way totally unbefitting the head conductor of Positivity Railways?

The Positivity Express, eh? I can feel the terrible strain overtaking you, Duncan. I have a funny picture in my head of a guy strapped to his chair and forced to type nice words forming pleasant thoughts comprising positive sentences on a computer screen. Sort of a digital-age Clockwork Orange situation. In blog form.
For the love of God, disregard my recent rant/post on rampant blog snarkiness, I can't bear to see this happening. Get off this train, Duncan. It's killing you, man! It's killing you!!

You know, I did find the timing of our two positivity posts to be extremely bizarre...
Me too. I didn't get around to reading yours until yesterday...and then it occurred to me you might think I was responding in some indirect way to your "positivity conversion experience" ;-) I wasn't, of course, because I enjoy your writing style and POV and have since my first visit.
