Canderis

Last year I attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. I had a terrible time there. My roommates I got stuck with were drug traffickers and I had not made any real friends on campus so every Friday night I would make the three hour drive from Knoxville to Nashville to spend the weekend with my dad. The drive was straight forward and pretty simple. It was essentially one road that took me all the way home. However, anyone who has driven through Tennessee knows that the state is mountainous. This one road home was not extremely straight forward, and as winter approached, I began making this drive in the pitch black night that comes with driving through trees in the middle of nowhere. Most of these drives blurred together but one night stood out from the others. One night in the middle of November something happened I will never forget. I was driving up one of the many mountainous paths that dotted the landscape when I saw a car parked on the side of the road with a young woman who looked to be around my age standing next to it waving me down. I was a little nervous but she didn't look threatening and seemed to need my help so I pulled over and got out of my car. She was freaking out. In between the sobbing she managed to get her story out. She had come around the corner and somebody was standing in the middle of the road. She slammed into them at 80mph and they went skidding across the ground. She slammed on her brakes to avoid hitting them a second time, but by the time her car had stopped the person was standing in the middle of the road. Standing. And then, casually walked off the road into the trees. I figured she must have hit a deer or something. That cannot happen, right? But there was clearly a dent in the front of her car and I could see skid marks of blood down the road. She said right after this happened, her car had stopped working, and being in the middle of nowhere, there was no cell signal. She was so freaked out, I couldn't just leave her so I offered to give her a ride to the next time where she could call someone. So we got in my car and started to drive. She was still hysterical for the first ten minutes or so but then she began to get very quiet. I tried making small talk but she wasn't replying. The silence was uncomfortable. Then, she spoke in a hushed voice, "Its happening again..." Before I gad a chance to reply someone was in the road in front of me. I slammed on my breaks but it was no good. I slammed into the person at near-full speed. I barely had a moment to process what was happening. I stopped as quick as I could, but then I realized the girl wasn't sitting next to me in my car anymore. She was standing up in the middle of the road. Her eyes were glowing bright white and she was staring right at me. I floored the pedal and I drove around her. I got out of there as quick as I could. I never saw her again... So last night, my friend and I went out on a drive. I live near Chicago and we had heard about this road about an hour away from me called Bloods Point Road that was supposed to be haunted. We were curious so we went to check it out. We drove down the road and nothing remotely creepy happened. We didn't even get a creepy vibe from the road. We were disappointed. So we mapped the GPS to my house and headed home. We were in the mood for creepy so we started making up scary stories on the spot. I came up with the story I told above. Less than thirty seconds after I finished telling that story we saw some car coming towards us. They had their brights on like an arse and they started to line up more and more in front of us. It took a couple seconds to process what was going on. My first thought was that the road kind of curved but that wasn't it. They were driving head on at us, in our lane, at full speed. I swerved off the road and they barely missed us, and we barely missed the guard rail that started up less than a second after we got back on the road. I almost died last night and I cannot help at marvel at how weird it all was. Going to check out a haunted road, then telling a scary story about a car accident, and then nearly being flattened by some drunk driver in an SUV. I'm still a little in shock. I'm done with driving late at night for awhile now.

Wow nice work!

Wow. That looks really good.

I'm excited, but skeptical. I want it to be what I think it is, but what I'm expecting is so amazing I can't fathom it'll live up to that.

You know where your opinion would mean more? If you posted this on LucasForums.

I'm curious: I'm sure the majority of you have played a ton of mods over the years. I'd like to know what mods you always tend to come back to time and time again. I'm sure at this point it goes without saying that everyone uses TSLRCM, but I'm sure everyone has their own favorites! Personally, for K1 I always love using this mod: https://web.archive.org/web/20150303205456/http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/Jedi_Robe_Reskins_Council_Style;99664 As well as brotherhood of shadows. TSL, This is my biggest "must have" http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=196232

I hate online multiplayer, specifically PVP. I hate the community it attracts. I hate the competitive atmosphere. I was really hurt by the decision to axe the campaign because chances are that's all I'd enjoy in this game. The original battlefront series was the perfect shooter for me because it's instant action was incredibly fun for a friend and I to sit down and just go butcher some AI. I've heard they have some sort of AI battles that were not in the beta, but I don't know for sure. Had they showed those off at all I might be inclined to get the game at launch but currently I have no reason to want it, and that really hurts because I had been very excited for this game. I really hope EA doesn't sterilize the rest of the games they are making, or continue to rely on games based purely on nostalgia to sell, because those will only end up hated. TOR played on Kotor nostalgia, and this is playing on the Battlefront nostalgia. Nothing they can make will make us happy when thats what they're working with. I want, and they will really only succeed with new original IPs. Thats what made the late 90's early 00's the golden age of Star Wars games. They had a ton of great series being made, not just one or two games with endless sequels. Republic Commando, Kotor, Empire at War, the Jedi Knight games, Battlefront, Galactic Battlegrounds, and even kid-friendly games like Pit Droids and Droid Works. There were so many, extremely different games around that nobody even cared if one or two stunk because there were plenty of others to choose from. Thats what I hope EA does with the license.

Nice job. Those buggers never looked right in my version!

Are you keeping those textures?

What is your plan for the leviathan encounter? Are you changing it to trigger after four star-maps, or keeping it at three? And is the "end of game" trigger going to happen after all five, or just after the vanilla four?

First one is amazing. The only thing that may make it better, though I'm not entirely sure it would, is if you maybe added more squares to make it a little more busy.

Those look amazing. If I didn't know better, I'd say its an entirely new engine.
