Truth be known, all modern sci-fi armor is to some extent based on the original Stormtrooper armor, so the similarities don't bother me too much. However, I think that they may be straying just a bit too far from KotOR 1 and 2, which had a great ambi...  [Read More]

I suspect naming will be limited to letters only, with no name-sharing with lore characters. I just hope that the leveling experience isn't soul-crushing like WoW's. Of course, endgame is my favorite part of WoW, so naturally I hope that there is a d...  [Read More]

I also like ships and instanced apartments, maybe with guild-run fleets, assuming that space combat is an integral part of this game. While I love the idea of player built and run cities, I don't know whether this would be implementable....  [Read More]

It'd be a pretty cool feature, but I think devising and implementing a voice to type program would be more trouble than its worth. I'd rather have more content and fewer bugs than a groundbreaking but ultimately pointless control interface....  [Read More]

b or c are the only ways to actually be able to build and sustain enough infrastructure and bandwidth for a huge "proper" MMO, if you ask me. I like the idea of a lifetime fee, but ultimately it would either be ridiculously cheap or ridicul...  [Read More]

IMO you really can't compare the two in terms of gameplay or story progression. At least the franchise as a whole continues, and we get a delicious MMO to occupy our time until the next proper KotOR game comes....  [Read More]

Very true. If we stick our heads in the sand about it, they'll have no knowledge on how to deal with violence. I support this message. Ignorance is not bliss, especially if your kid gets "awakened from his dogmatic slumber" by a mugger,...  [Read More]

Zero tolerance policies were always a bad idea. They were created by people who wanted to replace human interaction with bureaucracy and paperwork. All instances of guns, be them fake, drawn, or real, should be taken on an individual basis. Students...  [Read More]

I agree, our leadership should not be treating our allies like hired guns, Bush has his Blackwater mercenaries for that. However, as much as I like Britain and its people, I simply don't think entangling alliances are good for the US (or the UK) in...  [Read More]

Thanks for the reply. As America's closest ally(and mother country) I think most Americans should have at least a basic knowledge of British politics. So, how influential in the overall scheme of things is the Liberal Democratic Party? Here in the St...  [Read More]

1. I support unbanning Assault Rifles because I like playing with AR's, and I think making up long-winded justifications for that would be insulting your intelligence and wasting both our time. That's not to say there aren't rational reasons to allow...  [Read More]

Let me pose a question then. If Marijuana was legalized today, would you run right out to the nearest convenience store to buy a pack of lefty-cigarettes? I'm guessing not. If people want to smoke it (or use any other drug), it is readily available...  [Read More]
