17 Years Ago Today, A Classic 2000s Sitcom Ended on a Frustrating Cliffhanger (We Still Want Answers)

Exactly 17 years ago today, on May 14, 2009, the TV show My Name Is Earl unexpectedly ended.

But so far, they haven’t said anything about actually creating game assets – like characters or environments – with AI tools like the ones everyone’s talking about right now.

The upcoming game, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, won’t be overly lengthy. As explained by Hudson, a shorter experience can be more appealing.
