SummerSmash is 11 February 2012. It’s also my birthday, if one celebrates birthdays every 6 months instead of once a year. Which I don’t really. So the bit about my birthday was a lie, but the bit about SummerSmash was true. Anyone interested? TF2 3v3 Arena is on offer. I dunno about everyone else, but my TF2 is pretty rusty…
If you’re interested, there are 3 things to do:
- Practice the universal greeting
- Learn your blues name
- Play TF2
If you’re not coming to the lan, you only need to do the first 2!
Ba-weep!

I wonder if there *is* a Twilight MMO?
Turn the brightness up.
j/k I dunno what it would be. how’d you post a screenie if you can’t see?
For the rest of us, there’s always youtube!
what’s the verdict?
I thought the opening cinematics were awesome, although a little long (watching isn’t playing after all!). Sadly, they stole the show from the in-game graphics, which look pretty dated. Like Jedi Academy quality (which was good looking in 2003). Worth watching the cinematics though, the production values there were awesome!
I went with Sith and got given a practice sword. That put paid to my early hopes of yelling “I’M FIRING MUH LASER SABRE!” I picked a class with dual wielding light sabres. Not practice sticks
There is a dance emote, but it is not as good as /jig in global agenda.
I guess this is more classic RPG control based? I know now how much I prefer RPS over RPG. Let me point and click to shoot—not point and click to select and spam 1, 1, 1, on the keyboard to swing a practice stick. Wah! I was expecting gameplay like Jedi Academy (which is awesome).
It probably gets better when you get light sabres and spaceships. I assume you get that by grinding.
I liked the first couple of missions in the jeddi faction better than the sith. The sith have to run around in a temple killing crab worms. Also, all the other sith are unfailingly polite in their polished British accents, even when making threats. I expected to see more force choking!
The jeddi get to run around a forest killing large pig-men and rescuing holocron discs. They are pretty much exactly what you’d expect.
I haven’t seen enough to judge the quality of the story.
I don’t have any RPG cred, but I played both Witcher 1 and 2 this year. This game plays like Witcher 1. Witcher 2 kicks butt in every aspect: graphics, controls, fighting, bad-assery.
Sorry Ali! :]
Did you get further into it? What were the highlights?
I don’t think we’ll really know if it’s worth it until we can compare Zoey and Chewie in a blog post
and I’ll look at it the year following that, when it goes free to play and I can afford it ~:)
BF3 is so 2011! GTA V is where it’s at!
