M-Day

Yes, tomorrow is the unofficial M-Day. Moving Day. The day when I pick up the UHaul, we load it with our crap, and then drive it down to Clarksville, to be put into storage until our name comes up on the housing list and then it's the Official M-Day.

But that's boring. I downloaded the Star Wars: Republic Commando demo and it's awesome. It's EASILY the best Star Wars product since Jedi Outcast (except maybe Knights of the Old Republic) and it's DEFINITELY the best thing to come out of the pre-Holy Trilogy era. You're part of a four man commando squad and the mission in the demo has you doing all kinds of cool stuff like the air assault insertion (where you rappel out of a helicopter into the dropzone, or in this case rappel out of a dropship), you can order your squadmates into firing positions, and if you die and your squadmates live, they can revive you and the mission just continues from there.

The demo's pretty short and the weapons lack punch but Unreal fixed that problem when it was first released and maybe Republic Commando will too. Oh and you can't not like a game where shanking a bad guy (using the well-placed melee attack button) with wrist-mounted retractable punching knife leaves green blood splatters on your helmet.
