I do not not think anyone should downplay how terrible this attack was. It is sick when press attacks the victim instead of the person who did this.

The B is backwards.

As if it was done by looking in a mirror.

Sorry, but her story is not adding up, and the physical evidence is less than compelling.

BioWare being involved gives it a shot at not sucking.

But the sad truth is that most Star Wars games suck bantha weenie.  Lucas, frankly, does not care as long as they sell.  He's really a pretty mercenary guy.  I have very little respect for him, because it's so painfully obvious that he's in it mostly for the money.

LEC has been about packaging bantha poo doo in a box, stamping Star Wars on the box, and knowing it will sell regardless of any merit it has.

Screwed because you will be protected from stealers and people hacking your account? yes ok. Better be screwed then.

 

Well politcians will be convinced that since people tie value into it.  it actually does have value.

 

If people value something it has value, I think thats a pretty basic concept, no?

EX, ingame currency, people will pay real money for it, thus it has real value.

Yes, and therefore it becomes, inevitably, a matter for the courts, because it is property.

i guess the possibility of the true sith race can still exist in the time period but its up to the devs.  It would be cool if they reveal them but I doubt they will be playable race at release, maybe expansions. 

It's implied that they are very powerful and very alien.  It was also implied that making contact with them would be a very bad thing, even for human Sith Lords to attempt.  After all, Kreia hinted that Revan went to the Dark Side to prepare the worlds of the Republic for a greater menance than the Mandalorians were.

So I'd imagine that they'd be PvE endgame content if they're in the game at all.

Looks like this outrage is falling apart:

LIke the fake documents that bush got out of combat in nam.  LOL..thankfully someone ended their career in disgrace over that BS

The sad reality is that the document showing Bush very obviously NOT volunteering for 'nam is absolutely authentic.

The documents that were 'debunked' concerned Bush's performance.  The fact that the content of the documents was verified by his commander's secretary (the commander died some years back) is ignored by those who would rather not contemplate what a dishonorable ass Bush is.

If there are no Bothans, this game will suck.

BTW, "Sith" is not a race.  It's a philosophy, or an ethos.  Sort of like National Socialism.

I might add that Mandalorians are more like another flavor of humans, they have no distinctive difference from humans.

Might be interesting to have Rakata roaming about.

 

The setting for this game is  built around the Sith race.  The Sith in KotOR 1 and 2 were a Jedi taking up the Sith belief, but this game is built around the actual ancient Sith race battling the new Republic.

It will be interesting to see how that is handled though.

Mandalorians will be in the game.

Game is set 300 years after the time of Revan and the Exile.

"The true Sith" is nothing but conjecture and rumor, somewhere out in the unknown.

The Sith of KOTOR are followers of a philosophy, not a distinct race.  We've seen humans and Twi'leks as Sith in KOTOR.

Have the TOR developers flatly stated that they're going to have the ancient Sith race in the game, or are they going to stick to the universe they've created in which the true Sith are forever shrouded in mystery?

Biggest single problem?

"Make it like WOW".

You're going to confuse the movement conservatives out there, Munki.

Not fair.

What's amazing is that she has actually been brought up on charges, I assume for breaking into her "ex-husbands" account, and deleting his avatar.

I guess the lesson here is think before you gank!

The serious lesson is a pretty common warning: don't share your account's password with someone else.

Interestingly, the McCain campaign is also planning a big victory celebration (no matter what the polls say, you plan on victory) at the Biltmore in Phoenix.

You plan a big party for your supporters where the candidate makes his victory or concession speech.

This is not unusual or a sign of overconfidence.  It's what you do if you're running a campaign.

It's not arrogant or presumptuous at all.

But I will accept the OP's tone as a tacit admission of defeat and demoralization nevertheless at the upcoming major ass kicking that Barack Obama is about to administer.

Since the guy carved a B, could it be he's a deranged Bob Barr supporter?  After all, all the Obama stuff is about O, you know.

Or Bush.

You're not wrong there.

The B might have just been for "bitch".

Of course, the whole thing could be made up.  This is not out of the realm of possiblity.  Twana Brawley comes to mind at once.

I think we can all agree that this individual should spend a long time contemplating his life in a small cell somewhere.

Do you know what the definition of a civil libertarian is?  A Republican under indictment.

 

If that is a stab at me, well, I am not a Republican.

Why do you assume everything is about you?

This is wrong.

Just as the dozens of reports of Obama volunteers being assaulted by McCain supporters.

I might add that since the report is from known psychopathic liar Drudge, wait for a more credible report before drawing any conclusions.

Of course, your take on EVERYTHING seems to be the polar opposite of reality.

Maybe you should go and review each and every ACLU case and find out exactly what rights were taken away to appease other groups. You're the one living in fantasy land, not I.

OK, so I'll concede that the ACLU screwed up in defending the junkie Limbaugh.

But here is the thing for me, and I imagine a good many other folks.  We have become the generation of MMO players who over analyze, over think, and over criticize every aspect of the game.  We are passionate gamers, we are a group who looks at a game and says, "I bet this game would be more fun if the developers did x, y, or z."  This is a good thing, because it promotes creativity and imagination in a generation that is severely lacking in both.  However, it is our downfall because we are never satisfied with just enjoying the games. 

 

 

No, what you and many others ( me included sometimes) have become is forum players.

 

We don't play games anymore we talk/write about playing games:).

 

 

 

Says something about the games that are available that so many are talking/writing about them rather than actually playing them.

Palin won't release her records to show when she was pregnant and when she was not.  Furthermore, we don't have Bristol's medical records to show when SHE was pregnant and when she was not.

Answer this, either way, what business is it of yours, or anyone else's?

What does it matter if Trig is not her son or if he is?

It is neither illegal or unethical.

Look, I'm not the one who paraded my supposedly pregnant unwed daughter in front of the GOP national convention and who makes a big deal of making the choice to give birth to a Down's syndrome child as a political statement.

Sarah opened the door to all of this.

Keep in mind as this game is to be set 300 years after the time of Revan, Malak, and The Exile, when Jedi are rebuilding their strength after their near extinction at the hands of Nihilus and Sleeps with Vibroblades, formal training is likely to be sparse and lots of in the field hands on training would be in the offing.

This makes a lot of sense because formal training in the padawans in the Jedi temple sense would be difficult with few masters about to take padawans as apprentices.  Similar to how Luke runs the Jedi Academy in the Jedi Knight series.

This offers a better model for an MMO, a lot more freewheeling than Yoda watching you swing a lightsaber at a remote in some hall on Coruscant.
