• • this might sound wrong to the republicans but...

  • I'm an independent and I'm going to write-in Ron Paul.  I don't like either candidate.  McCain is going to keep us on our path of financial ruin by keeping us in Iraq.  Hell, he may even help to further spur the world into another Cold War.  I will give him credit for picking Gov. Palin as his VP.  At least I can feel confident that he's surrounded himself with smarter people than Dubya has. 

    Obama will lead us down the sad, sad path to Socialism, which will do just as much bad for our economy (if not worse) than spending billions in Iraq.  His past with working with social activist groups and his voting history of throwing money at the disenfranchised worries me.  Plus, you DO NOT RAISE TAXES WHEN THE ECONOMY IS IN THE TANK.  That's one of the reasons the Great Depression happened, this time I doubt that a World War would help us out of it. 

    Voting for Ron Paul, while essentially would be throwing my vote away, would allow me to vote my conscience.  McCain and Obama both represent futures of a nation in debt with no hope for my newborn son to achieve his dreams.  I believe this nation needs a leader that will lead by example.  A leader that will see how much of America is owned by foriegn (and in many cases hostile) powers.  A leader that sees just how far down the spend, spend, spend attitude has screwed the USA and her citizens.  We need a leader that will push for personal responsibility and national self-reliance.  We're not going to get that from McCain or Obama.  Seriously, I am frightened for the future of this country.

    Lets assume Lucas is working on a new SW MMO....

    *What do you think it will be? KOTOR or CW?

    *Will it have Depth and complexity or will it be WOWish?

    *When could we see such a game?

    *Will SOE even be involved?

     

    1. I would like either.  However, with KOTOR there's more leeway for the Devs to go their own way since there's not a ton of established canon for the era.  I wouldn't mind seeing a Legacy era ala new new comic series, honestly.

    2. I don't care either way.  I want it to be fun.  It needs to be something that anyone can feel comfortable playing.  As much as I loved the launch system for SWG for trying to go a different way and giving players a LOT of freedom to develop our characters, killing womp rats to make traps didn't scream "Star Wars" to me.  I just want the game to be playable, fun, and heroic feeling from levels 1 to 100 (or whatever).

    3,  No idea.  I would like later this year, but mid-next year would likely come closer to the mark.

    4. I should hope not!  Why should they?  They were given a can't lose setting and lost with it.  I doubt SOE ever gets a sniff of a new Luscasfilm contract again.

• • Would SWG veterans give BioWare a shot?

  • I would certainly give it a shot.  I wasn't real hot on pre-CU when SWG launched.  It never really felt like Star Wars to me and then the game just got worse after the revamp.  Bioware did a helluva job on both KOTOR games, so I at least feel confident that they could put something out that would at least feel like Star Wars.
