first off, kotor2 sucked balls compared to number 1.
it should have been better, but it was chock full of
bugs. obsidian sucked im comparison to how flawless
the first game was. you can tell heart was put into
number one.

EA games suck.

I forsee a bunch of shitty games now, and I can even
hear the EA GAMES on the startup sound inside my head,
and it's not pleasant. ughh, way to ruin the cool
computer company in edmonton.
