alenxa_classicIn the summer of 1997 I was waiting for college to start again, passing the time the same way as I had the year before: by playing Exile II till my fingers should have dropped off. And also writing fanfic for it, which I'd been doing off and on since discovering the game the previous summer. And watching Roar, pretty religiously. Heath Ledger, I thought, was possibly even cuter than Noah Wyle.
For the last two weeks I've been deeply ensconced in Avernum 2, the update/remake of Exile II, and am 40% done with the game-winning quests. I've also been engaged in a search for the fanfic I was writing way back when, both on paper and on the computer. There was one piece I couldn't find, no matter what terms I searched with or how much I made myself sneeze by digging through old paper stacks. I found it today in my computer archive, along with several other pieces, within an hour of reading this. True to form, I was looking for something else: my old save files.
It's not poetic. Poetry doesn't make me feel old and sad.
But when Avernum 5 comes out for PC, I'm naming my tank Conor.
