Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: I Say Things and They Come True
I knew my words had the ring of prophecy. And not just because I was huffing Delphic vapors at the time. That stuff is strictly recreational for me, you know what I'm saying. I just didn't believe it would happen so soon.
Last week I said that despite the huge shortcomings of Clone Wars, the franchise was far from dead, and that one day somebody would do something cool with the Star Wars universe again. Something dark, something that meant ... something.
Then a dude at Lucasfilm sent me a beta version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Then I put it in my debug Xbox. Then it wouldn't play. Then they sent me a firmware updater disk. Then I put the beta disk back in the Xbox. Then it played. And damn.
