SW: Republic Commandos Delayed [11:14 am ET] – Share – 59 Comments
The LucasArts Star
Wars Commandos Product Page has an update reflecting a delay in the upcoming
cross-platform Star Wars shooter. The "Availability" heading on the page that
previously listed a Fall 2004 now offers "Winter" as the game's release date. As
a consolation, the site also now offers a new screenshot. In other Star Wars
release date news, the
Star Wars KOTOR II -
The Sith Lords Product Page likewise reflects a modified release date, as it
also now lists a generalized "Winter" availability, replacing the previous more
specific listing that read February 2005. The page now also offers screenshots
of the newly unveiled planet Dxun from the upcoming RPG sequel. Thanks Frans.

I was checking to make sure TiVO was set to catch the Deadwood season finale
tonight (it still hasn't sunk in The Sopranos is over for the season),
and with a quick pop, the audio went. Some checking seems to isolate the problem
to my receiver, so I need to check and see if hopefully this may just be a blown
fuse. I have fears that it goes beyond that, as there was a distinctive
smell following this that seems very familiar as fried circuitry, so it may be a
goner.
