Hello faithful readers. Earlier today, we tried to livestream our team’s play footage of Star Wars: The Old Republic from BioWare. We had lined up at 9 AM with the rest of the media. We were allowed over-the-shoulder footage of the live demo (which I played, which was PHEnomenal). While in line — and this
