As far as I'm concerned, the only "lucky bastard" here is anyone who got into the beta and has a broadband connection...

72 hours to go...

Oh my...

What are you using?
ISDN? 56k?


I downloaded the SWG beta, almost 3GB. Took me four days. Never again.

Well, there are two good things about this...

1) I will eventually be able to play JTL Beta
2) I get to spend more time with my consoles

Kenn, you have access to the official beta forums now by the way.

Good oppotunity to gather information on what it takes to build ships.

It's pretty good, although I get bad FPS for some reason. Everyone else I talked to is getting 30+ while I get 9. I'm going to have to get the virtual wrench out and tighten some bolts.

Can't really say too much because of the NDA, but the controls are fine and yes it does handle like the TIE Fighter games.
