Electronic machines, IMO are a good idea.

The idea that "black" people can't use them is just insulting. I thought that democrats were supposed to be the party that supported and cared for those of African descent, and yet here they are insulting their intelligence. Same in the 2000 election. The republicans got the white house because our constituents are too stupid to use the ballots. Ridiculous. If they can't figure out "Press A for Bush. Press B for Kerry. Press C for Nader," then they probably shouldn't be voting to begin with. This isn't meant to sound cruel, but if one can't figure out something as simple as a touch screen, then they probably don't understand the issues well enought to make a desicion on an election so important.

And vice versa.

The 'good fight', you crack me up Chaltab seriously, nah I'm just kidding you're alright.


Well. At least somebody thinks I'm funny.

I have no Idea. I just call him Rex, because I have never seen anything like him. It might be a very bad Ssi Ruuk, but for the real story, you'd need to askt the artist.

Also, I think that even if they aren't there, nearly everyone is represented. Jorus is represented by Thrawn, Bib Fortuna by Jabba the Hutt, Shimrra by Nom Anor.

You get the picture. I mean, it even has people as new as Grevious, and as obscure as Xizor. And almost every variation of the Stormtrooper. The only thing that I can't figure out is why Mara Jade is up there and Peleaon isn't.

I found the quote. This came from an audio-bite

"I will do what the generals believe we need to do without having any chilling effect as the President put in place by firing General Shinseki. And I'll have to wait until January 20th. I don't know what I'm going to find on January 20th, the way the President is going. If the President just does more of the same every day and it continues to deteriorate, I may be handed Lebanon, figuratively speaking. Now, I just don't know. I can't tell you. What I'll tell you is, I have a plan. "

Funny. He doesn't know what he will find. It may be another figurative Lebanon (whatever that means) but he has a plan!!

For the record, nobody said that Bush is the perfect president, but at least he is trying. He is doing things rather than just going on and on about a "plan" that he can't really explain.

Kerry once said that he wouldn't know what needed to be done until he got to the whitehouse (and they say Bush is arrogant) and that Bush might have screwed it up too bad to fix. And at the end of that paragraph he said. "I have a plan."

Serioulsly. Funny stuff, no?

Even if Bush did have ulterior motives for going into Iraq (as if liberation of opressed people is sinsiter) there is no way in the bowels of heck, or the spice mines of Kessel that John F. Kerry should be the president. If you truly hate Bush, then just vote for Nader, please.

I rented the XBox version this weekend.

Well. The mechanics are solid, and it looks and sounds like StarWars. I think the biggest thing is the single player mode needs work. In every battle, it seems that nothing ever matters becasue every fight devolves into a deathmatch, even if your objective is something simple like kill the fambas that are generating the Gungan's shields. The fambas are nearly invincible, so it ultimately becomes a mission of slaughtering the gungans who leave the shield like morons. If they grouped together inside the shield, there is no way you could win.

Also, there arent enough weapon variations. Every character gets just two weapons and can't trade out. And your allies are always incredibly stupid. You cant even take an AT-AT down with a cable unless you have two semi-intellignet humans playing, because the CPU won't fire the cable, or fly in circles around the legs.

Something that would help tremendously is splitscreen multiplayer. I didn't even realize that there was none. In fact, I would've rented MK Deception if I knew it was only systemlink or live.

Over all, I give it a Seven/Ten, and if you can play online, up the score to an Eight.
