Yet another MMO, but this one is set in the Star Wars universe. Because light sabres, yo.
Conclusion: Amateur night.
This would have been great in the late nineties. Right now, the voiceovers are fantastic but the quest interactive cutscenes are ugly. The choices are sometimes vague and unforgiving. There is spectacular effort with all the rendered videos, but that just took away from resources for the game itself.
Working with regular expressions while listening to dance music.

For a while now, I’ve been playing the online game World of Warcraft (“WoW”). Come to think of it, I’ve been extremely unproductive in anything that’s important to me in life because of this game. Hmm.
But my habit of searching and reviewing has stayed with me. One of the things which attracted me to this game in the first place is the possibility to customize the game client (Forum: UI and Macros). Since it is impossible to create one interface which is universally acceptable, it is extremely good to allow developer customization.

A video hosting website.
It used to be great, but Google took it over, removed video responses, fucked up comments and left the service in shambles.

A single mother needs help from mutant rats.
One of the great animated movies.
Based on Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH – (1971 book), by Robert C. O’Brien
StarCraft – (1998/2017 game) remains one of the best games ever made. The quality of gameplay, the low system requirements and most especially the hackability of the maps.

To read
This book is mind blowing. I think the best description I can give of what it’s topic and goals are is to present the first chapter, in full. From here I think anyone interested in the subject will understand fully where this book is going and the intentions of the authors.
By George Lakoff and Mark Johnson.
TODO – Finish the linking.

A documentary-style mini-series that touches on bunches of the history of western science, but then gets absolutely horrifyingly abysmally wrong. So wrong as to be a bunch of lies.
