Warrior Within was the most enjoyable of the trilogy for me. The soundtrack was bad at times (especially in the first 30 minutes), and the game certainly wasn't perfect, but man was the combat system rejuvenated from the first game. The lackluster combat is what held the first game back.
The level design was simply amazing too. Not to mention the game was actually difficult! This is one of the things that made me love the game the most. The puzzles were so much more freeform and challenging, and you actually had to worry about the enemies beating the bejeezus out of you. The boss fights were great too, especially the last one against the Dahaka.
Two Thrones had some challenging boss battles like in the second one, but other than that it was a little too easy.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
