So do I play Enter the Matrix or Neverwinter Nights - a tough decision. Both are good. Neverwinter Nights is less buggy though… Enter the Matrix was clearly forced to match the release of the second film, and could have done with another two months or so of cleanups. Three patches in three days, so far… looks like they carried right on working on it after it went gold.
So my final-year project is finally complete, with the demonstration yesterday afternoon. It feels so good to get it out of the way!
Of course, all I need to do now are C++ coursework, computability exam and program construction and verification exam. Nothing seriously bad, although I should probably learn computability…
But I find myself spending far too much time playing Neverwinter Nights — highly addictive, and I’m actually doing well for a change. Being a level 8 Monk at the start of Chapter Two definitely helps, especially when I’ve got some rather nice little gadgets like a Lesser Ring of Power, Robes of the Old Order and Gloves of the Yellow Rose +3.

Although this can’t be too bad, looks like it’ll save some effort with links and emphasising stuff and other such things (who needs to use that bit???)
Anyway, gotta do some formal spec coursework now. Meeep!
And I didn’t make this entry before because I was still getting over the shock. 9am hand in. Not perfect, but as close as I could get it given the time and my dreadful, dreadful time management throughout the project.
Note to self: next time, do some f**king work
The end is almost in sight, so why do I see nothing but a great black void beyond it? I should be feeling anticipation and excitement at the possibilities which are open to me, but for some reason I’m not. Even though it’s stressful and frustrating and ultimately bad at me, I find myself wanting to stick with the familiar…
