The videogames we play

Spoke briefly to Ben today about borrowing the sequel to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, an Xbox game often affectionately (and phonetically) referred to as KOTR. I tried playing KOTR earlier this year, but the disk was scratched so I couldn't get past a certain point.

KOTR2 it is. Someday. I suppose I have work to get to, now that I'm done with the impressive Resident Evil 4.

KOTR, incidentally, had one of my all-time favorite videogame characters. His name was HK-47, and he was an evil robot. An assassination droid with a shady past.

There was something endearing about HK-47's childish inability to refrain from evil in the otherwise black-and-white Star Wars universe, but it was his classification of every utterance that really drew me to him.

I tried to repair him, to learn more about his backstory, so many times that I can still hear his "Supplication. Perhaps it would be best if you gave up your attempts for now?" in my head a month after my last attempt.

Supplication. Statement. Evasion.

I wish I thought about what I said that far in advance. Well, maybe I don't.

But it would be a fun quirk to have when I was drunk, possibly even more fun than Peter Griffin's decision to narrate his own life. Possibly.
