Baldur's Gate I

I have owned this game twice, once intentionally. The other came with my old Gateway computer over a decade ago. I just never got around to finishing it. I know the first time was just the general disdain of playing the computer in the living room and my hatred for my first computer.

The second time was destroyed by the monster that was Everquest.

I'm somewhat tainted in that I know the "canoncal" ending party for the game... and my favorite practical characters are not in that group. So I'm switching people in and out constantly so I can at least get some play time with Kivan. It kind of sucks that there has to be a certain group if I want Baldur's Gate 2 to start with making sense.

Fatal Fury Special

Quite a bit ago I decided to work my way Chronologically through some fighting games. I will get around to Street Fighter 2 soon, but that is really my most played fighting game. The SNK fighters were regulated to the arcade for me, so I'm learning them through and through as I go through them. I am surprised by how much I retained while going through Fatal Fury 1 with each of the 3 characters available, so I'm optimistic that working my way through Fatal Fury Special will be fun for me. I skipped 2 because Special is 2 with cleaner combat and a few returning characters that weren't in 1. I don't feel like I'm missing anything. It is kind of like playing Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo and skipping Super Street Fighter 2.
