I know, this blog place has been abandoned. I apologize for only popping in here for random requests. However, for any of you still paying attention here, I want to invite you to support Extra Life this year. If you haven’t donated yet, (I know there are many gamers who are supporting the charity event),…
I admit it, in the dark side/light side equation, I’m pretty far into the light side of things by nature. The characters I relate to the most in games, books and movies tend to be heroic and look out for others more than themselves. I think that is why I really like Mal from Firefly…
Today is a screen capture day. Some days I’m willing to re-run content just to take in the views. Rakata Prime is one of those places. I wish we’d had more to do than just one brief visit. I’d love to explore its ship graveyard. Like ruined Taris, there are towering hulks on the horizon,…
I’m sure there are studies about this topic but I’m still drinking my coffee and feeling lazy this morning. Maybe I’ll find and link some later. For now, I’m just happy to be sticking to my guns about blogging again on a regular basis. I’ve played my female Sith Warrior through the initial 9 chapters…
If you haven’t played through to the end of chapter 9 in Knights of the Fallen Empire in SWTOR yet, you may want to hold off on reading this. I’ll assume that anyone who is reading further is actually working on recruiting new companions for the alliance against the Fallen Empire. Edit: With patch 4.1…
With the new optimization settings in SWTOR’s latest patch, you’d think all graphics would perform better, right? Not so, as our guild discovered the hard way in a couple of nightmare Eternity Vault runs last night to finish up some achievements. We went in figuring it would be a breeze through. Unfortunately, the invisible falling…
In one small way at least, SWTOR has acknowledged a “grey” aligned character that I played as fully neutral. I have a really evil Sith Inquisitor, a laid back nice guy Sith Inquisitor, and now a pragmatic and diplomatic (yet fully willing to shock you into submission) Sith Inquisitor. She still doesn’t have neutrally aligned…
When I picture Tatooine, I picture a place that is austere, harsh, sandstone walls, Jawas. I don’t picture it like my current stronghold is now; papered in gaudy glowing trophies and surrounded by slot machines. Apparently, enough people complained about not having a large enough maximum hook allocation for this austere place, and BioWare went…
I always wondered why the designers made all of the white quality armors in Star Wars the Old Republic, that you can buy from light, medium and heavy vendors on most planets. They give armor values, but no stat boosts. They’ve always seemed useless to me, until now. I have started looking more closely at…
It is week three of my NBI 2015 Screen Shot Safari. The safari themes I have left are: Landscape, Selfie, Epic Achievement, Heroes or Villains. You would think these are the easiest to do but they aren’t. With amazing game graphics these days, settling on a single landscape is proving too hard for me this morning,…
