A trailer for those peripherals for The Old Republic



I didn't realize there was a trailer for those ridiculously expensive mice and keyboards by Razer for The Old Republic. There's a giveaway, too. RPS puts it well:
it’s not like I can tell you whether they’re any good. They’ve only just been announced. But they’re certainly the most ludicrous bits of kit I’ve seen in a while, so top marks there.
Maybe the next gen will have a hologram projector.

I meant to post this last night, but Blogger's image uploader wasn't working - - I cropped some wallpaper-sized stills featuring Darth Malgus and his master from The Old Republic's cinematic opening.

Opening cinematic for The Old Republic



A little repetitive of the cinematic videos to date, but still very cool - - the opening cinematic for The Old Republic.

Rancor riding an AT-AT



Rancor on an AT-AT by Bocognani Florent presumably up for vote today at Threadless. I took the liberty of turning it into a wallpaper:

Link roundup

1. Create a Star Wars name contest.

2. Mickey Kaus:
It would be ironic if Amherst-style reforms finally gave lower income Americans greater access to college just when elites were concluding that college isn’t worth it. But when you think about it, a non-college world in which high school graduates acquired the skills they wanted on the web or in ad hoc classes and proved their worth by performing well in actual jobsmight be a preferable form of meritocracy. a) There would be no “signaling” of status for life, the way an Ivy League degree now signals status for life.
3. Bradley Cooper wants to make a Hyperion movie so bad that he submitted a spec script. (I love the book, but it's probably unfilmable.) Via.

1. Scratch-built Wheatley (Portal) toy.

2. Pretty disturbing - - beehive that took over a chimney.

3. Sho Murase posted her illustrations from the Star Wars Visions book (which was overall actually a bit of a letdown).
