Ahhh the teabaggers, how I spur them on in their quest to splinter the Republican party, some good can still be produced by such teabaggery! Anyhow, pertaining to the violence, it's scary, but not surprising. In today's world of instant communicatio...  [Read More]

The 1860's saw the Civil War and Reconstruction, so it wasn't unmoving or small at that point, though compared to today it was pretty tiny. Sorry, should have been a little more specific, meant more 1880s to the late 90s, with Mckinley, Harrison, Cl...  [Read More]

Exactly. This is what most of us want. Plus on our side or at least neutral enough that we the people remain the effective working 3rd pillar of the triad, instead of like a squirrel between 2 hogs fighting over a steak like it has been. Still...you...  [Read More]

Up on their official website (http://www.lucasarts.com/company/release/news20091212.html) With Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, the epic story continues as players once again assume the role of the devastatingly powerful Starkiller - Darth Vader's...  [Read More]

I have a theory on how the star forge and the betrayal of Revan by Malak fits in. I believe, going by Bioware's new lore, somehow Revan and Malak fell to the dark side due to the mingling of the Sith Emperor somehow (as previously stated). However, l...  [Read More]

Hmm I must of skipped over the part where he says the farther from the Emperor's direct influence the more they strayed. After rereading it, it does make Revan and Malak look like two bumbling idiotic puppets, but I'm hoping this lead writer is just...  [Read More]

I still believe that the sith invading 300 years later can be made believable with a good piece of lore behind it, we'll see when the game comes out though. As to Revan being mind controlled avery, where did you get that from Erickson's post? I didn'...  [Read More]

Good point Ztalker, MMO's revolve around cool bosses, and I bet the devs would think it awesome to have Revan or something like the ghost of Revan as a raid boss, perhaps against his will (to appease the people that love seeing Revan as a hero)....  [Read More]

I'm thinking they went with the double-bladed for consulars because I'm betting the vision, at high levels especially, for the jedi knight and sith warrior involve heavy armor, which makes it hard to jump around like Darth Maul. So they just stuck th...  [Read More]
