LucasArts, BioWare Announce Partnership

Given the swirling rumours of a KOTOR MMOG, it should come as no surprise that BioWare and Lucasarts have announced they're teaming up for a project. They don't give any really concrete details, other than to say it is 'a ground-breaking interactive entertainment product'. They've also "launched a cobranded Web site, www.LucasArtsBioWare.com. 'Through our previous collaborations, we know that BioWare has an impressive ability to blend gripping stories with technological advancements, and we believe that our upcoming product will deliver an experience that will span the traditional boundaries of video game entertainment,' LucasArts president Jim Ward said in a statement.

    It's not a lie. It's the truth with lossy compression.

    The biggest things we see being thrown around easily are girders. You can lift an x-wing with concentration, and that's it. The force has its limits...

    Yoda: "Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship."

    Actually, that quote would be better written for Yoda as:
    "Size matters not. Look, me at. By my size, judge me, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. The Force, my ally is, and a powerful ally it is. Creates it, life does, makes it grow. Surrounds us, its energy does, binds us. Not this crude matter are we, no, luminous beings. The Force around you, you must feel: here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. The land and the ship even."

    Mangled, his syntax is. Begun, my impression has. Difficult times lie ahead for my wife. Talk like this, I will.

    (As an aside, the best Yoda impression I ever saw was a 6'4" Scotsman with a beard like a rhododendron who said that Yoda reminded him of a randy French dwarf in a porn movie. "Take this, you will. Hee hee hmm. On you face, it will be.")
