One advantage to being home sick is that you get to say in all honesty that you spent the day in bed, even when you have the X-box hooked up so that being in bed means you were propped up and got to the end of the game just before midnight.

What a cool game!

This is the first time I've ever played a game from start to finish in the same year in which it was released (unless we go back to Mystic Quest, which is a Final Fantasy game). And despite Rob's insistence otherwise, I only looked up a hint online once -- and that's because I needed to finish the game. Needed to know how it turned out, and there I was so close to the end. It has a good ending. I was perfectly light sided as a Jedi. Got the guy, saved the universe -- all in a day's work.

Now I gotta go play it the other way around, as a dark side Jedi. Bwahahahaha! I can't wait to use some of those cool phrases -- "That's right, I'm the Dark Lord reborn! Now die!"
