Bioware + SW + MMO = Oh Noes for my whole "productivity" and "spend time with the wife and dogs" goals :(

Sounds extremely promising and intriguing. I'm particularly ensorcelled by the idea of being 12 hours in and forced to make a path-altering choice. That'll help with replay and story engagement for people like me with altitis.

I loved the shot at WoW; "why am I killing these 10 wolves..."

Either this or Diablo 3 is going to be the game that pulls me back online, but who knows which will be the winner.

yeah, this game is going to almost certainly kill my 4.0 when it comes out.

Also--frisky Dingo is probably a more favorable show from Adult Swim's non-anime shows...WTB Death to Saul, 12oz mouse, ATHF, Superjail, and whatnot (Venture Bros and robot chicken are well done and should not be done in)

Well fuck my chances of holding down a job. I promised myself a long time ago that this was the only MMO I'd ever play. Looks like I won't be keeping that promise. >_>

I'm with ya, except I do have a soft spot for ATHF.

"You and your three dimensions."
"What about 'em?"
"Oh, nothing... they're cute. We have five."
"... thousand!"
"Yes, five thousand. Don't question it."

Metalocalypse also rules. But let's not derail a thread about a Star Wars MMO with geek talk :P

I love how any SW game ever discussed on the intarweb must include an obligatory screenshot of someone holding a lightsaber and using the force to choke someone else. XD

This is Brambles you're talking to.

I was going for more a non-specific irony, but yes, having Brambles involved does add a certain... improbability of on-topicness.

Is there a topic in here that actually stayed on topic? If there is, lets trash it. takes all the fun out of things.

Anyway...hopefully this new SW MMO will be more successful than the last one. It has promise being from the Knights of the Old Republic era.

I liked the arcade feel too SW Battlefront (the second one was nice, but felt less gratifying...just click--kill-click-kill)
But i'm guessing this MMO will be more RPG based, and less FPS/3rdPS

I just decided to watch A New Hope on my lunch break. GG thread.

I was never totally "into" Star Wars, I'm more of a Star Trek gal myself, but if it's a really good game I might play it.

It's not SW or anime, but The Life & Times of Tim has been entertaining the heck out of me.
