I'm still behind on the 6,000 pageviews one, but if you want it, free commission is up for grabs in a few more pageviews!

UPDATE: Kirriban caught by both ~robokop and ~Lweeling who both sent me screenshots. I guess this has happened before to other people. Oh well, prizes all around!

asked for a drawing of her character Sabel

asked for a picture of Brianna from Kotor II

As a side note, got the last 6,000 hits kirriban for Chai Ka and Wildflower from Jade Empire that I am still working on.

Thanks to everyone for playing! Next kirriban will presumably be at 7,000. So I need to get drawing!

Started playing it and have been doing so for the last two weeks. This is partly why my sleep schedule is more shot to hell than a shotgun-riddled super mutant.

As a BIG fan of the original two, I found that this game plays around in the playground of the world, but isn't at the level of of EPIC that I really wanted to see it as. I mean, c'mon! The first chunk of the game is all about running around chasing after "my dad"! I don't really trust in any game story where my personal relationship to a fictional "father" is a key part of the plot. Besides, I'm way too old to be emo like that.

In the original game, I was the Vault Dweller, and I had to save the world from being overrun by Super Mutants and for this purpose, effectively became a one-man (or woman) rampage of Gatling Guns and a stimpack collection that could bury the Lourve. In the sequel, I was The Chosen One destined to lead my people to paradise, and I did! -- by defeating the power-armor covered remnants of the US government single-handedly as a one-man (or woman) army. See a pattern here?

But the third game? I'm going to save the world by making their water tasty. WTF? Now, I guess I'm only 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through the game, but I'm already missing the humor of the original two, and I sure hope there is a massive army of Super Mutants, soldiers, or some other massively over-sized/over-armored horde that I need to defeat single-handedly, because so far this game is kinda mediocre in its execution. I'm going to see it to the end, nevertheless, but so far, not too impressed. Even with the shiny graphics. (Mass Effect did it better.)

No one has sent in a screenshot to claim yet. (Currently at 6,015.) What's the closest number out there?

Now presenting, Barbie the Musketeer -- with transforming magical girl dress!!

I love that Barbie does back flips across the screen and her demure skirt never moves.

Friend of mine (Canny, who runs Totally KotOR) recently returned to the wired after 2 years away working as a Missionary in China. One of the first things he's pointed out to me is that the KotOR Fan Media site is really not what is used to be. And it's true. There's a lot less traffic going through there now than when I joined 3 and a half years ago. Three and a half years. Damn, that's a long time. (Heck, I've been on and off DA for three years, now, too.)

I partially have KotOR to blame for getting me into fan art and fiction. I used to rarely ever touch it. But after playing Jade Empire, I was totally hooked on the immersive worlds Bioware built. I jumped into KotOR looking for the next Jade Empire. What I found was a game less satisfying (but with a sequel) and a massive fan-built community that sucked me in. I found myself crafting things I never thought I could do. In retrospect, some of my short stories for the Dueling Circle challenges are still pretty darn good. Dark. I like dark.

Anyway, a lot of my connections online today are friends I first connected to from the KotOR Fan Media site. And also FF.net, though the KFM folk are way more active with fanart on DA. But where are you guys now? Where do you hang your KotOR fetish? Have you moved on to other games, other genres? What's up?
