KOTOR -- Social Advisory

23 July, 2003 -- Atlanta, Ga.
Parents, wives, husbands, significant others, and best friends have been warned not to let their children, husbands, wives, significant others and best friends get involved with a new drug simply called 'kotor.'
This drug, when consumed via the Microsoft XBox, can consume their very lives, not allowing them to go to work, school, or even sleep. This drug hit the streets last week. The first reported mumblings of "need more force points" was heard on July 16.
"All my husband does is play that goddamned thing til five in the frickin morning," says one Marietta wife. "I haven't had a good roll in the sack since last frickin week," she adds more than a little bitterly.
A mom from Woodstock claims that her son hasn't bathed since Saturday and has requested a pee-bottle so that he doesn't have to get up.
News of similar stories are heard across the country as this latest drug wave spreads from coast to coast. The apparent distributor of this new drug, known by the street alias 'BioWare,' has this one comment: "Ever-what?"
For an in depth analysis, we've actually interviewed a self-proclaimed kotor-head.
"Dude, ok, so for whatever reason they didn't use anti-aliasing, and I'm not sure why that one kid wanted a pee-bottle, cause it seems to take forever to load from screen to screen, but that may be just because I gotta see what's next. The wait kills me.
"To me this is the perfect high. The adventures aren't too hard and you don't gotta be real twitchy to beat up on the bad guys. Each little 'episode' consists of little 10-15 minute plot-pushers that you just mow through. Next thing you know it's five o'clock and your GF is on her way to bein' an XGF.
"And, dude, you get to be a Jedi! You get to push people back, trash droids, and best of all, whip muthafuckinass with your lightsaber. Fuckin' A!"
Fucking-A indeed, says this reporter. Please, for the sake of all humanity, when confronted with this horrible bane on humanity, please, Just Say No.   Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

LOO, awesome. I will have to get a hit of that stuff. Of course my wife is already making almost the EXACT same complaints because of other games and in general computing crap, so a nother flavor of drug shouldnt hurt.

Re: KOTOR -- Social Advisory

It is only because they will be releasing a PC version that I don't recommend you go buy an XBox for this one game. I **** you not. I don't normally get into games like this, but I am quite simply engrossed.

Re: KOTOR -- Social Advisory

Dude, I've seen the commercials but hadn't really paid any attention. Since I've already got my Xbox, I guess I'm gonna have to go get this now. My wife now curses your name. LOL

Re: KOTOR -- Social Advisory

So no need for an XBox? Damn... I've been waiting for an excuse to get one of those just to play with it. Of course since I live in Memphis I don't have power this week so it's pointless right now anyway....

Re: KOTOR -- Social Advisory

Well, it's not out on the PC yet, so feel free to use this excuse.:)

Speaking of power outages, I had one here yesterday for 10 hours. It sucked cause I had a legitimate excuse to not work, but I couldn't play kotor!!! Talk about frustrating. All I could do was stare at the box, hoping, wishing the power would come back on.

No, I don't have a problem at all. I can quit anytime I need to..... As long as the power is out. ;)

Re: KOTOR -- Social Advisory

so whats up with the playstation2 version. i dont have xbox either. i can play pc of course but whats the deal. is playstation2 that lame or is it a marketing/rights dealy or what?

Re: KOTOR -- Social Advisory

I assume marketing dealy because, as the kotor-head mentions, the graphics aren't all that great. PS2 can easily handle them.

Or it may be that it is considerably easier to port between xbox and pc due to hardware similarities that it was cheaper to develop for one platform and they get the other for 'free.'

Re: KOTOR -- Social Advisory

What he says is true. No lovin', no bathin' just playing that game all the time. It is actually quite sad. He just talks to the screen muttering things like '..must get to next level..' and '..Look, Honey, I'm a Jedi..' Women and children - run far, far away.

[%sig%]

Re: KOTOR -- Social Advisory

It's over.... Dunno if I am relieved or sad.... Took just over 30 hours of game time, not including at least 1/2 that in reloads/replays and the like. Jeesh, what a ride......
