Travis DeSimone. Corsair. I don’t find myself at the movie theaters very often lately. Many people complain about the price but for me it is an entirely different issue.

The Old Republic Beta Impressions
by Raymond Knott Star Wars:The Old Republic Beta Impressions A New Hope? As a seasoned MMO player, I definitely didn’t know what to expect from Star Wars:The Old Republic. On the one hand, I’m a shameless fanboy for all things Bioware: Baldur’s Gate, Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, Jade Empire; they pretty much don’t make bad games. On...
