Rumor: SOE to launch casual browser MMO for Clone Wars by James Egan Sep 4th 2009 at 5:30PM Filed under: Sci-fi, MMO industry, New titles, Browser, Casual, Rumors We're chalking this one up as a rumor for now, but word has it that Sony Online Entertainment is developing another Star Wars MMO property, a casual browser game specifically based on the Clone Wars IP. The info comes from Ten Ton Hammer's Cody Bye, who writes:
"Ten Ton Hammer has learned from an inside source that Sony Online Entertainment has once again partnered with LucasArts to do another Star Wars MMO. While we have not yet learned the title of the upcoming game, it sounds like SOE is planning to use the browser-based Free Realms engine to power the game, and the game's setting will be the Clone Wars."
Massively has not heard anything yet to corroborate this as fact, but let's face it -- this was just too juicy to ignore. If we hear more on this while we're at PAX and Dragon*Con, we'll be sure to let you know.
I went looking for a STO review and ran across this, very little is actually said about the game, but I enjoyed listening to these two waffling on about utter rubbish and every now and again mention STO
WARNING: Bad as well as slightly stupid language....
Also is it just me or is most of the Klingon bit just people falling over?
...and there was no reason for me to add this, so I did.
I just saw this posted over at the "Left 4 Dead 2" Steamgroup page and it made me smile

In the first two months of Left 4 Dead 2's release, 28,981,249,043 zombies have been shot, bludgeoned, chainsawed and killed — or, for our younger readers, taken to a farm where they can frolic and shuffle around forever.
You read that correctly: 28 BILLION. To put that number in perspective:
The entire population of the planet has been zombified and killed 4.26 times.
With the average height of a zombie being 6 feet, if you stacked them end to end they would circle the globe 1,322 times.
If you placed 28,981,249,043 rulers end to end, they would reach 28,981,249,043 feet in the sky.
In short: That is a bucketload of dead zombies. Nice job, everyone.
