The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Greatest gameplay for sure but not greatest story.

I actually think it was a pretty solid story.

I didn't question the quality of it, I just don't really like New Republic stories. I thought the KOTOR storyline blew it out of the water.

This. I preferred Jedi Outcast to tell the truth. That you only get a lightsaber half-way through makes it all the more epic.

Greatest star wars gameplay ever in Jedi Academy, no question. Even better than that garbage with starkiller. But yea, I prefer Old Republics stuff.

I definitly played this game more than any other. But shit story dude, i mean, you can do whatever you want. The "Missions" stage is pretty stupid, I mean, get real. The part about Ragnos is sold, But the missions sucks so much.

Outcast was a great game. If you could play that game with all the extra moves from JA, you have an amazing game. I keep waiting for them to make a game like it for the next generation of console, and sorry, TFU II, ISN'T it!

I wish had played Jedi Academy.

Outcast was the first Star Wars game outside of Battlegrounds that I burned countless hours on. The campaign is fun in and of itself and cheats make it all the better. And I've spent more time playing mulitpayer for Outcast than I have any console game.

Allehkinz Allehkinz Allehkinz Allehkinz Allehkinz!

um, wut?

The race card has got to be the epitome of ignorance. Don't want to provide an actual argument, rip out the race card, and repeat it to someone 18 times.

Of course a white guy would say that.

of course.

You know, luke really was an idiot. You realize the last thing he has done was put Daala in charge of the galaxy? Has anyone ever done anything so stupid?

"If only, Senator Amidala was here..."

that seemed like a better decision than Luke acting unilaterally to put someone in charge who had ALREADY wiped out a star system...

Not ignorance, cop out. "Oh I'm not successful because the man is holding me down." That's how us Jews feel EVERY DAY.. As we run the world.

Jen works 60 hours a week at minimum wage to feed her three childern. This does not put her earnings above the poverty line. There is no way that she could afford more school, and she wouldn't have time for class anyway. It goes without saying that she cannot afford health insurance.

The line I see isn't so much one of race as poverty, however it is a demographic fact that there are a disproportionate number of impoverished ethnicities.

And what happens if she gets government assistance? Is she going to continue living her life as is or is she going to get better education so she can qualify for better paying jobs?

Well, in theory, at least, the government assistance should supplement her income enough that she will not have to work overtime and still fall below the poverty line. Immediately, at least, my concern is

Well, in theory, at least, the government assistance should supplement her income enough that she will not have to work overtime and still fall below the poverty line. Immediately, at least, my concern is raising the standard of living (which has peripheral benefits like a noted (inverse) relationship to crime rates and a direct relationship with public health levels).
