Wee! Friday! To celebrate the apartment here finally being cleaned up, the special lady friend and I are hosting a little housewarming party over the weekend in hopes of screwing it all up again. I finally managed to string a network cable across the living room a couple of days ago to really make this place feel like a home. :) I just recently realized with all the hoorah about those massive multiplayer online games, I have yet to actually play one for more than a couple of minutes. That whole EverQuest / Asherons / UO thing just doesnt appeal to me. I wonder if that StarWars game is gonna be worth a damn. It seems whenever someone gets a hold of a great license 95% of the time they turn it into poop. Are we green?
































  • The Star Wars: Online game will suck because Verant is behind it. This means they will bring the poorly developed ideas of "class balance", time-sinks, camping spawns etc to the Star Wars Universe. *Sigh* I can just see it now:

    Disgruntled customer #1: "My female Gungan Jedi got it's ass kicked by a twinked Wookie Warrior THREE LEVELS BELOW ME! Abashi, NERF those overpowered fuckers!"

    Abashi (Verant mouthpiece): "I'm sorry, but the Jedi class already has an advantage in that all Jedi are given Lightsabers (Damage 50, Delay 32) when they start out. Wookie Warriors have to purchase or loot all of their weapons so we thought it was fair to make them better at Melee combat than the Jedi."

    The entire Star Wars fanbase from www.theforce.net: "WOOKIES BETTER AT MELEE THAN THE JEDI!! OMFG YOU COCK-SUCKING, CHEESE-DICK, HOAR-BITCHES WILL PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!!"

    Disgruntled Customer #2: "OMG VERANT YOU SUCK!! I camped the Mandalorian Knight spawn for 32 HOURS and he only dropped a single armoured gauntlet!"

    Abashi: "Maybe you shouldn't camp if it isn't fun. What's that? Camping is the ONLY way to acquire good items? Whoops, nevermind then."

    Disgruntled Customer #3: "Uber-Guild X has all of Jabba's Palace camped out. My newbie Bounty Hunter can't get in to loot Han Solo's carbonite tomb! BAN THE UBER-GUILDS VERANT!"

    Disgruntled Customer #4: "Hey d00ds! I just sold my lvl 41 Sith /w double-bladed lightsaber on Ebay for $400!! I'm going to quit my job and play Star Wars: Online as though it were an actual career. Yeah baby, I'm a winner! Fuck I'm KEWL!!" *cough*

    I could keep going, but it's the Shack. No one reads long comments anyway. Just remember everyone, once you buy this game, you're in Verant's world now.
