Someone, please stop me before I preorder this game.

Bioware is the best video game company working today, at least in terms of the RPG marketplace.  LucasArts is the company behind the greatest trilogy in movie history and the follow-up Star Wars universe.  Given the recent death of Star Wars Galaxies, it’s only natural that the two companies should push out even more information on their upcoming MMORPG, to try and hang onto to those few thousand players and get the interest of thousands more.  Well, success, everyone.  Star Wars: The Old Republic is now available for preorder!

If you want a taste of the Star Wars: The Old Republic world, feast your face upon this video trailer:

There are two flavors of Star Wars for sale.  There’s the Star Wars: The Old Republic Collector’s Bundle (with a 111-page booklet, bust of Darth Malgus, map, music CD, collectible tin case and fancy box, and a whole horde of digital features limited to the Collector’s Bundle) and a bare-bones version of Star Wars: The Old Republic.  The simple act of preordering the game gets you a pass into the game’s prerelease testing, so it’s worth it to buy it now if you’re going to buy it at all.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
