Knights of the Old Republic II - I want my thirty bucks back...
Time
SW games really have gone downhill lately (I use lately to mean the past few years). Sure, there have been a few gems, (KotOR, Battlefront, Jedi Knight II), but for the most part, well, they've been realy crappy. I never bought KotOR II, more because I hadn't finished the first one yet, but having heard about it now, I don't think I will.

I don't know if anyone here bought Republic Commando last year. If you haven't, don't. I thought that game was going to be the shit, serious. It sounded like a Rainbow Six a la SW. Instead, it was all simple point and click scenarios, with little icons popping up saying "you can snipe from here" and "put a bomb here" and that. The team was, apparantly, four specialists, but the same task could be done at the same speed by any memeber of the team. There was so much more that could have been done to that game to make it a little more than spray and pray.

The only SW game I play right now is BF2. It was a good sequel. Maybe not the best game out there, not even the best of its genre, but fun nonetheless, and a great story in the campaign.

You do know what UPS stands for, right?

Use Purolator Stupid!


Purolator is bottom of the barrel as far as package companies. Having worked for both Purolator and DHL, I'd much rather ship with the latter. FedEx is decent too.

The Sad State Of Star Wars

With no more movies coming out, I think this is natural that the series is going downhill. There are still Star Wars comics, books, etc coming out. but most of them are prequel era or the new jedi order era, which isn't my cup of tea. But the good news is that Star Wars seems to be doing better than Star Trek. That francise seems to be much closer to death.
And no, I didn't mean anything as a jab at Trek. I like Trek as well, at least some of it (original series and NG) but with the failure of "Enterprise", the series has very quickly died. Much faster than Star Wars has done.


Enterprise was an interesting phenomenon. Some loved it, most hated it. I thought the first two seasons sucked, but S3 was some of the best television of 2004
