Called up Mouse. Relayed info to her about the dirty cops I know of that had a vampiric connection. Also transfered over just one vial of the vampire blood with the potential for getting it back. Relayed information about the vampire that changes her appearance into whoever she wants, but I don't think the gravity of that sank in--especially in the context of living in a place with tons of people that come and go. Also asked for a favor in exchange for the information--get a spirit off of this other cop. It's a small bugger and not conjoined to him or anything, but I can tell that it's having some sort of corruptive influence and needs to go--damn spiritual parasites. Lastly, asked about the kid I dumped off at the safehouse earlier and if there was going to be problems over that. Mouse didn't seem perturbed, even over me knowing about the location of their home base. Huh.
I'd been eagerly awaiting Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for a good year now, and I got a copy Tuesday night when it hit the stores. I'm really disappointed--none of the story or RPG elements of Star Wars: Jedi Outcast. The force power building system is nothing like Outcast or Jedi Academy, though still present. The game attempts to be an RPG (and fails), a platformer (and fails), and a fighting game like Street Fighter (and fails). The button mashing combo thing for the bosses is pretty lame, too. I'm particularly disappointed in how the entire thing is so heavily centered around destructive elements of Push, Grip, and Lightning. Granted, it is very Dark Side centric.... I've been playing it on the hardest setting to make it last. Otherwise I'd probably just blow through it and done and returned for a store credit and another game.
Speaking of The ForceUnleashed, I had a bit of a revelation the other night when I was sweeping off the houseboat's decks. Hello, broom! Not flexible like a human body! I straddled it and levitated the broom instead of myself and took a quick little trip a couple dozen yards and then back to the houseboat. Definitely more stable, but there's a downside--sitting on a long, thin broom handle with the full weight of the body being exerted in the crotch vicinity. Between the crushed testicles and the underpants halfway up the ass.... I can see the appeal of riding a broom side-saddle very quickly. No Quidditch for me.
