Something tells me that I'm not the only one excited for the upcoming arrival of Overlord for the PC and Xbox360. Frankly, this sort of game, where you are the bad guy, needs to happen more often. When you get right down to it, just about all of us are probably pretty good people in real life. We help old ladies across the street, hold the door for random strangers, and refrain from gratuitous killing sprees more than once every few months or so.

Now, I like playing Paladins as much as Arcadius does. Hell, I played an Aasamir Paladin for Neverwinter Nights 2 recently (which ended up being an awesome choice as the game was remarkably easy with such a character running the show for my party) but I have to say, playing a bad guy in games is fun. It allows you to harmlessly vent off all the frustrations that we feel in everyday life. And what a great idea this game is! At last, I can play the Evil Overlord the way I have always wanted them to be. I won't make the clas.sic Evil Overlord mistakes. (yes, I had to edit the word clas sic because the word filter zapped it.) No, MY Evil Overlord character will be smart.

And of course the real reason I am throwing this post up is to give myself four blog posts in one day. What I can't accomplish in quality blogging, I'm going to accomplish in sheer quantity.
