It has lots of bugs, suddenly Lara&#8217;s leg disappears and is replaced by a funny line that goes diagonally from her waist to the ground (I should take a screenshot the next time that happens&#8230;) or she shakes uncontrollably when she&#8217;s crawling under something (or running\/walking up\/down the stairs in a not straight line). Also, she goes nuts when she has a gun drawn (and there&#8217;s an enemy nearby) &#8212; automatic aim is not always a good thing I&#8217;ve noticed. Especially when it&#8217;s badly done. It&#8217;s VERY annoying when the enemy is somewhere below you&#8230; And, of course &#8212; there was the chipmunk + Lara thing (speech going too fast) which I got fixed though (by tinkering with the DirectX settings.<br \/>\nAs I told a friend of mine, the game designers were probably concentrating on something else than the overall quality of the game (namely, the jeans-covered quality of Lara&#8217;s behind&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>STILL listening:<\/strong> Maroon 5 This Love<\/p>\n<p>Last night I dreamt that we got a new dog &#8212; a white poodle that I suggested we&#8217;d name Simone (I just realized&#8230; it&#8217;s almost like Simon (name of my computer)).
