I mean, another one. That isn't Star Wars Galaxies.
Bioware and LucasArts are teaming up to create Star Wars: The Old Republic, which they hope will become the World of Warcraft of the Sci-Fi universe. Right now, we don't really know much about it, so all I can go on with is that the graphics look amazing for an MMO.
The game will be set about 3500 years before the rise of Darth Vader, so we're not going to be seeing any of the characters we already know. Except maybe the ancient Sith Lords. I'm not sure if they're canon though, as they mostly appeared in the games.
Anyway, thus begins my two-week break after the common tests. Ah, the common tests. I really should have stayed at AJ. I presume that they don't ask for history in biology tests there.
This is going to be a short two weeks. I look forward to spending my time re-watching my favourite movies and television series. Hm. "Series" is a bad word. It doesn't have a plural form. That's misleading. I expect that I will waste countless hours waiting for bad-mannered players to gather online to kill a boss in WoW, and then scream and bitch about people "not healing them enough". Seriously, in the time that it takes for any given group of people to gather for an activity in that game, I can read a book.
And I have. I've been re-reading the Animorphs series. Not the actual paper books, because that would be expensive. Besides, I don't think they even sell them anymore. Instead, I have settled for reading them online, in an electronic book format. Sometimes there are small typographical mistakes and there are almost always issues with paragraph spacing. Still, I find them good enough, and the errors do not impair the entertaining quality that the books have always had.
This doesn't mean that I won't buy the lot if I can. One day, I will have them.
The snow on this blog is finally not out of place again. Yeah, we added the snow last Christmas for the festive feel, but we never bothered to take it out. We probably won't be changing the tunes either, since iMeem did this whole thing that prevented anyone but the uploader from hearing more than the first 30 seconds of the songs. Some DRM thing.
And I'm off now, as my parents require my input on what computer they should buy to replace that piece of junk downstairs.
