On Thursday I had the opportunity to check out The Chronicles of Riddick (the game, not the movie) on the Xbox: ten minutes later I had it on order. It looked absolutely fantastic, and played beautifully; a sort of first-person shooter/adventure hybrid, with the emphasis on the latter. I got the game today, and I'm sitting down tonight to play for an hour or two - I'll offer my impressions tomorrow.

I've been going through my inbox today, and I've dug up a number of mails dating back as far as March that I still haven't had a chance to answer - all of which deserve an answer. I'll try to catch up with those as soon as possible, though I probably won't be able to answer all of them. For those of you who have sent me mail, then: thanks so much, I read everything, and hopefully you'll get a reply, either personally or in my journal.  ¶ 09:35
