Bioware is making the true, honest, clever RPGs they always did - it's just that this time, someone happened to entrust them with the most powerful license in the world.

That's what Penny Arcade had to say about the XBox game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) when it first came out. I really think in the end it is so much more (they do too, they keep raving about it.) KOTOR is starting to take over my life. I just keep playing it. And the worst part is when I'm done that will just be the first step. I'm already itching to play it AGAIN. Yes, that's right - I'm only about a third of the way through and I can't wait to finish so I can start again.

That's the beauty of this game. You can either play as a wonderful goodie-goodie (which I'm doing now) or a total evil fuck (which I will do soon.) You can also play somewhere in the middle if you like, and there are many different character classes which will really effect how you play the game. If you are a fan of computer role playing games, or if you are a fan of Star Wars you need to go get this one. It puts the prequels Lucas made to shame.

In other news The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has been in rare form all week. I can't wait to see what they have to say about Arnold running for Governor of California tonight. I actually watched him on Leno last night and it was a bit scary. I understand why, but there were about 5-6 one liners in his short little blurb. The guy's going to be a one liner candidate. This worries me because the complexities of dealing with a state the size of California (on it's own bigger economically then all but six countries) is way, way beyond one liners. And that's my policatal thought of the day.
