So I went to court today. It was... incredibly interesting. We saw an assault and battery with a deadly weapon case, an attempted larceny case, and another case we couldn't figure out what the charges were. These were all plea bargains.
We were about to write off the day as an "eh" in terms of the interestingness of the cases, but then...
( yeah, that looks like a sex offender )
Then the Assistant Court Magistrate took some time to talk to us and answer some questions. Turns out he was part of the Dirk Greinedeer trial a few years ago - the doctor from Wellesley who murdered his wife by a pond that just so happens to be across the street from Sunshine's parents' house. I just finished a book about this guy, so that was pretty cool.

In RotS video game news, my brother and I unlocked the "versus" mode. OMG that kicks ass. We played Vader against Anakin, Obi-Wan against Old Ben, Dooku against Grievous, and Anakin against pretty much everyone. Cin Drallig was the only one who could beat Anakin.
And the comments they make to each other aren't, like, generic comments either - they're geared specifically at whoever the opponant is. Obi-Wan told Anakin "I should have left you on Tatooine". It is.... very, very, very cool.
Oh, and the bro beat the Dooku level for me. :D
