Ouch.

My interest in this one was never very high as I heard of the various inexplicable plot decisions and my general low-level contempt for the prequels continues. Now, although i’m stilll game for seeing it on Sunday, I’m starting to think there’s only so much longer one can say, “Whatever, it’s ‘Star Wars’ and I have to like it.”

UPDATE: Oh shit. I just noticed they didn’t even get all the original voices.

Ara Abrahamian is a putz. I don’t believe in the moronic double-standards that will rake Sherraine Schalm over the coals for slipping up and saying something that professional players do all the fucking time.

It makes you look like a fucking crybaby.

Sale and Pelletier had trouble like what he claims to be going through, but thanks to remaining within the proper channels and keeping their cool it got sorted out. When the officials see these antics they’ll probably just roll their eyes carry on.

At least I can congratulate the Ukrainians.

UPDATE: If Phelps fails a drug test drinks are on me.

The party entered the first stage of the enemy hideout and ended up in a long protracted fight instead of a series of encounters.

I gave the so far only character showing any depth one last chance: Sacrifice a member of the party (an NPC, albeit a significant one) and free a powerful devil loose onto the mortal world so the rest may live and continue. He chose death, and therefore the end of the game.
