On the Subject of Lovecraft

H.P. Lovecraft is probably one of my favorite authors. While his work is around 90 years old, and his style of writing is time consuming in terms of comprehension, he's great to read when given an opportunity to laze around. And it isn't even a matter of buying his work anymore- it's all public domain, and all available (save a few poems he wrote in sonnet form at some point which I can't find). There are 2 sites in question that have the majority of his horror work:

http://www.eponymous.org/lovecraft.html
and
http://www.dagonbytes.com/thelibrary/lovecraft/

There is also
http://rca.vmk.zhdk.ch/lovecraft/html/
which has his work in general.

In that last one, Fungi from Yuggoth is probably the most worthwhile read.


In other news:
I beat Bioshock!
I beat HAWX!
I've replayed the Half-Life saga!
I have been playing Team Fortress 2!
In relation to the last item :


The internet is great.
(I play the one on the far left)

More gaming business:
I downloaded the Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning 10-day trial. It is great fun.
[PROTOTYPE] comes out soon. I am excited.
Call of Juarez : Bound in Blood comes out soon, as well. It looks promising, in more ways than one.

Empire : Total War came out. Tried the demo, was not overly impressed. I think I actually prefer Medieval 2 : Total War for whatever reason.


Music!
Lustmord. It fits H.P. Lovecraft, I think.
I like ambient music, apparently.

Back to games.
Why is Call of Juarez promising? To me, it looks like maybe, just maybe, the gaming industry is getting off its World War 2 kick. The Civil War and the West are widely untapped FPS genres, and I'd love to charge Rebel lines with a Navy Colt and sword of some sort (officers used them throughout the Civil War, believe it or not. Pikes and stuff were around, as well!)

Charging Union lines wouldn't be bad, either. But hum.

World War 2 shooters have you as the Russians, British and Americans, but hardly ever as a German. Ever.

Would Civil War games have you primarily as a Union soldier? It could be limiting, maybe.

Also. Thought just occurred to me. Ironclads! The USS Monitor, the CSS Virginia!
Those were exciting, even if the Monitor was an awkward looking pseudo submarine in my opinion.

EDIT:
Just, unrelated, but oh man
SEA WORMS!
They look awesome.

And permanent numbness? If nothing else it could be my signature poison if I get into the assassination business.
