The Best Thing in the Entire World
Breathe it in. This is KOTOR 3, unofficially. It's The Old Republic, the events in which take place about 300 years after KOTOR 2. I am shitting my pants right now, I'm so excited. Unfortunately, no release date has as yet been set. The only failing of this game that I can see, is that it is a MMO, which I find slightly less cool than actual video games. I don't really have any desire to be playing along with nerds halfway around the world. I prefer the nerds in my neighborhood. Those that can come over in the flesh and watch me play. They're the best kind of nerds. But still, when I see this trailer, get this light feeling in my chest, and then I try yet again, to push my desk around with the Force (no such luck...this time).
I could talk shop about this all day. Not really shop, because I don't know anything about computer technical thingamajiggers, but I can give you a complete essay on the history of the Star Wars universe up until that point. Which, I shouldn't have to point out, is the coolest thing you've heard of in the past seven months.
Look at how good it looks! It's not the retarded dungmation that George Lucas ruined the Star Wars movie franchise with. It's Fucking Legitimate. Capitalized. And how 'bout that battle? Epic. That single battle takes precedence over William Wallace, Joan of Arc, Saladin, Basil II Bulgaroctonus, and any other classic campaigns of "real" history. The Bounty Hunter was wearing lip gloss. This is also epic. There is no excuse for not looking your best, even in battle, and even if your face is covered by a helmet.
