This is the reason I keep Kotaku in my RSS read… for every hundred Japanese trends or cos-play articles, there is a gem I never see elsewhere… like this one.
Coming Summer 2012
As foretold by prophecy… or at least by my nearly four year old blog post… there could be a LEGO Lord of the Rings Video Game. There will at least be LEGO Lord of Rings sets, but how can they do that and not a video game?
Actually, I would bet there are going to be three games, if any video games come to pass.
Anyway, I asked for and got LEGO Harry Potter… what else from that post might happen?
Probably none… I was being kind of silly. But of the most serious two I asked for, one came to pass and the other looks like a solid “maybe.”
So I’ll be spending the rest of the day muttering, “That’s so cool! Oh my God really? Could it happen? That’s so cool!”
What I Saw at the End of the Galaxy December 16, 2011

Star Wars Galaxies, that is, because last night was it, the end. The servers are down and the game is no more.
[Addendum: The SWG Memory Book is now available, as noted over at Massively.]
But when I logged in, the results were in for the Galactic Civil War. The Rebels took the war with a score of 10 servers to only 4 for the Imperials.
Final Results
It is like the basis of an alternate history novel. How did things play out on, say, the Sunrunner server, where the Rebels only got 4%? Is that the version of where Luke doesn’t leave the homestead and gets killed with his Uncle Owen and family when the stormtroopers show up?
Bloodfin, where the Rebels eked out 11%, must be the version where Darth Vader says, “I am your father!” and Luke says, “Really? Cool!”
I always picture myself saying that in Luke’s place.
While on Starfire, where the Imperials only got 7%, Luke defeats Darth Vader on Bespin while the Emperor slips on a bar of soap in the shower, cracking his head open and killing him.
And on my own server, Bria, the Rebels won, but only with 63%, which probably means that was the version where Lando and Wedge fail to get out of the second death star before it blows up… and all the Ewoks die due to debris raining down on Endor.
This is a long post, so I am going to put in a cut so the front page doesn’t become a mile long. A pile of screen shots follow.
