Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

In between frantic bouts of racing I've started playing Jak and Daxter, cos only all racing and no action make Ingen a dull boy. Which is not to say that Gran Turismo 3 is a dull game, absolutely not, au contraire even, but I've never been much of a racing fan, so I need some distraction.

Distraction comes in the shape of Jak and his side-kick Daxter who set out on a whirlwind adventure to get rid of a bunch of monsters and collect a bunch of Powercells to change Daxter back into his normal, human shape, and at the same time perhaps finding out why the Warp Gates have been closed and the Sages seem to have disappeared.

Cue a lot of running and jumping about and collecting loads of items in Mario 64/anything by Rare fashion.
This game was made by Naughty Dog, the people behind the Crash Bandicoot series, who still seem to have remained outside of the attention of terrorist attacks for some unfathomable reason.
This game is pretty short, so I'll probably finish this in a couple of days, no sweat.

In other news, I gots myself a new TV! Yay! It's a Samsung, like its forefather, only one that doesn't suck so much. Granted, I have already spent 5 hours trying to figure out how the Hell I can receive any channels on this thing, to no avail, but at least the scart socket works. And since this is a modern TV I don't need no stupid PAL/NTSC converters to be able to play in color anymore, and I can even use my GC Scart Cable to play all my European games in Color and at a better resolution for a change. Great. That's why I needed it in the first place.

And NOW, I'm going to download porn. Good.
