kotor is a hot property. if the mmo doesnt suck and is half as successful as WoW, then there could still be a kotor movie.

played the demo last nite

seemed fun, mostly for the aesthetic though, not sure if thats sustainable enjoyment over an entire game though, I think at some point atmosphere would wear off and I'd stop caring. I'll see what the reviews say, but I think its worth a rental thus far at least

I always thought that in an infinite space, every point has equal possibilities to be the centre, and indeed every point is.
