You know me, that is essentially how I am with all but Quake.

I pity you indeed. The hardest vocals to understand are my music on low volume if I am too lazy to shut the office door.

I am pretty flexible as well, in fact a big part of my problem is that I tend to always have a different favorite. Right now I am in a symphonic metal mood, before I had an industrial mood, who knows where it will go next. I love Metallica, but listening to them right now is just not what I am in the mood for. It makes it really hard, a band I hated before I could like at a different time.

Very true. If you have something, sure, send it. Better than hunting it down, I expected mostly CD. It would be like finding the original version of Thief, not the easiest of tasks if you don't know where to look. I have gotten a version allegedly from GOG that features the 1993 version... but I am not sure if it is or isn't. I am scared to play it and find out I got the special edition by mistake. Especially since the Readme said special edition, but everything else says it is the floppy. I see an executable for X-Wing called XWING, plus one for the B-Wing expansion called BWING, though I am not sure where the Imperial Pursuit expansion is. In any event, Wookiepedia says the expansions came out in 1994, so I don't really need to worry about them until the CD version anyway.

Heh, Battlefront 2 was nearly a decade ago before my OCD took over, so I haven't had experience in a bit.

My way of keeping track mostly involved just looking at Wikipedia or the Metallum. One convenient thing about listening to real metal, the Metallum is a great site. Finding music was mostly a matter of just searching on Youtube and listening to similar bands or just keep going until I find something I like. I also use reviews of good albums in the hope they mention something it sounds like. Symphonic metal is a genre I plan on exploring more now that I actually know I like it, before I used to run into things like Sirenia's later albums and Theatre of Tragedy (which doesn't have a bad sound, but none of the songs are interesting). It doesn't help that symphonic and gothic are used interchangeably, I think what I like best is a combination of both like on early Tristania or After Forever's Prison of Desire (main difference from Decipher, which I wasn't a fan of, was that Prison of Desire had strong gothic overtones).
