Star Wars: The Old Republic’s Inspiring Music
On Facebook today, SWTOR announced that they will be releasing a new music track each day until launch. Today is The Mandalorian Blockade. You really should give it a listen. Some of it will sound familiar, we've heard portions of the score in various game videos. I...
Ships and Ship Combat and SWTOR Oh My!
I know one of my big goals from this weekend's large scale beta test was to get far enough along in my story to get my class ship. My soldier got her ship, after a class story quest chain arc, at level 15. The story arc was fun. There were plenty of side quest options...
How a Different Origin Story Can Change the Feel of a Game
I've been killing time lately waiting for 12/20/2011 (or 12/15/2011), playing various single player RPGs, replaying a few, and being uninspired by any current MMOs. I've already played Mass Effect 1 and 2 as both a female and male Shepard, one heavily on the paragon...
Why Patches and Expansions Won’t Lure Me Back
(Warning: This has turned into a pretty long rant fest. The thoughts and ideas have been rolling around in my brain for a while. Blizzcon announcements and a recent Twitter conversation with @Thephauxden shook them loose to run amok on my blog.) The first MMO I ever...
Geek Just Another Name for Awesome
Today's idea started with an anguished Facebook post from a friend. Her son was getting teased by kids at school for being a nerd and she was really mad. A kid he had been friends with the prior year had turned on him and the betrayal was very hard on her son. I could...
Love the Shiny New Galaxy Map
I've been scoping out the Star Wars: The Old Republic's Holonet for a while now, waiting for the unveiling of the final mystery box. Today I got my wish when SWTOR rolled out their new 3-D Galaxy Map. A quick 3rd party plug-in install later, a few blips as planet...
I’ll Just Leave This Little Release Date Screencap Here
I know this won't be news to anyone, but how could I be a major gaming fan and not blog about it anyway?! Twitter has been quite fun this morning. I'll just leave this little gem from my email here.
Why Smugglers Are So Cool
We can thank Han Solo for being such a wonderful inspiration for an iconic class in Star Wars: The Old Republic. That scruffy-looking, nerf-herding scoundrel is the reason why the first class I am going to play in SWTOR is going to be so much fun. I just know I'm...
Is Bioware Suffering from Stage Fright?
Pre-Orders over 400,000 Like many MMO gamers I know, I am anxiously awaiting the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic. And like many, I have pre-ordered a copy of the game even though an official release date has not yet been announced. So many of us are interested...
Hats Off to Prolific Bloggers
I wanted to write something profound, but I realized that waiting for inspiration on what to talk about was keeping me from posting at all. I think the longer one goes not writing, the easier it becomes to just ignore the blog. I have to salute those bloggers who...
