Star Wars Galaxies Movie
Maarten Goldstein
12

PC.IGN is now offering a gameplay movie from Star Wars Galaxies, showing off "one happy Bothan named Jarren as he seeks out a maker of fine blasters. Starting in a cantina on Tatooine, his trip eventually takes him to Naboo where he engages in a little combat quid pro quo". The WMV movie, which runs for 2.5 minutes, is a 19mb download.

    This world will not grow up with religion and Quicktime still around.

      Not to be a jerk-ass, but what's your beef with Quicktime? I'm not a mac user or anything, but I enjoy viewing stuff in QT more than Real PLayer or Windows Media.

      Maybe it's just the design of it, but I feel like the resolution is better too.

        Well, Quicktime doesn't seem to be bad for most people. I have some troubles running it (on three diffenrent machines). It locks up, stutters and the worst: Doesn't accept dragged and dropped files. Maybe I am too stupid to enable it or something. On the other hand, something like that should be enabled as a default. I really dont like to have to install a bunch of players on my machine. If the media player would play them all, life would be peachy for me. :o)

          I can't figure out how people have such trouble with Quicktime. I've installed it countless times on machines varying from p2-266 to p4-2.53 and NEVER had a problem. Ever.

          Sure, it might overwrite your MIME file associations, but you can change that in the magical preferences... ooh! And it's not like RealOne or WindowsMedia don't do that.

            I'll tell you what I won't use QT or RP or WMP for: music.

            I hate all the other forced gargage that comes along with it like the webbrowsers, media links etc. I have no use for a media library either. You get shitty genre classifications that are meaningless.

            Winamp is my favorite to just load up some songs and go, though I remove the browser from that too.

            I feel like I want to control my content and not have crap shoved down my throat. Winamp seems to do a pretty good job af that. I don't use any of the video stuff with that either.

              I agree that media players were more useful and less irritating back when they were just media players. Today media players are advertising platforms, application installers, community centers, operating system tweakers, data miners and if you pay for the registered versions then you get even moer stuff that isn't about playing your media.

              I would pay top dollar for something that associates to only my mpg, avi, mov and wmv files. When you click on one, it opens and plays the file. No splash screen, no channels, no nothing. Just play the fucking media. Give me a slider bar to skip around in the track. The only interesting feature i'd want (why hasn't the supposedly advanced media players done this) is an option that checks ahead for ssequentially numbered files and loads them as needed (porn).
