SW:ToR - live DH QnA

I know this redundant. For those intrested already know this and the rest don't care. 

 But tonight is Darth Haters live QnA on Vent. As much I as would love / need to listen. Not sure my wife would allow that during family time. 

   She is not a big SW the Old Republic fan either. 

    Still I encourage you all to log in and listen. Maybe even throw in a question or three.

SW:ToR - Love / Hate relationship

HAHA, I love Kirith Kodachi's post.

Mainly cause I am so polar opposite.

Well not the all MMOs are stupid part. That is just plain dumb and dumber.

But the reason I started following The Old Republic, is cause of story. And Voice acting. I loved the trailers in Guild Wars. I was that guy that wouldn't let you move on the next mob cause I wanted to watch the Video.

The story line is very immeserive to me. The little bits and pieces I have been able to glean is truely tantalizing.

I whole heartedly agree seeing abunch of smooth versions of the Star Destroyer is ludicrious 3000 years ago. There has not been any advancement in 3000 years. That is just plain dumb. But that is something I will have to live with.

I watch the trailer 4 times now, each time I enjoy it more. I could easily get upset that a trooper lived through a point blank termal grenade. ( same one 3000 years in the future ). But hey, I love James Bond too.

Over all, this has me more stoked about the game.

Plus I get Starships.

Comparing this to Star Trek Online isnt really right either. Star Trek is having lots of issues just trying to come out of the starting gate. (Still have that lifetime subscription).

SW:ToR - Information Overload

Drooooll...

There is just too much that happen to remember it all.  Darth hater will be up all night working on their podcast. 

   Another timeline video,  this was a nice little piece of video describing the Jedi Civil War. My thought was that the capital spaceship looked awfully similar to the Star Destroyers 3000 years in the future.  

That 3000 year thing will probably always bug me. 

   The G4TV trailer was neat, but honestly nothing ground breaking. Though it did wet my appetite for the next trailer. 

   Then there was the Gamespot play through update. 

    Oh man, drool. 
  I like the idea of bullets being the limiting factor for troopers. Love the storyline already for each one. 

   I have been wanting an Imperial Agent, and they still found sweet. The play style will be a bit rough. But I  am so willing to try. 

Overall, it was a great night.

SW:ToR - Companions

Well the 2nd most anticiapated part of ToR is the Companions to me. 1st being 100% voice acting.

I wish they had released a video on the companions, but oh well.

My big concern is still, In the central player hub to see 10 or so Sith Warriors all having Veerne hanging out with them. I hope I can atleast change her name, if skin color. I think it will take away from the concept seeing multiple people playing with the same companion.

Then again a high level Companion might draw crowds of people ooohing and ahhhing. I know I would be one.

Just hope they have better UI controls then the Eve Drones.

SW:ToR: Late Addition

Went to Darth Hater last night to see what they have about Fridays release of Hoth. 

Lo and behold there was a late entry of a conversation piece between a Jedi and his contact. Had the Mass Effect wheel with 3 choices. I couldn't read them, the screen was too small. 

Of cousre I did this while my wife was watching TV. She did not appreciate my interrupting her with geek-talk. But it was sweet. 

Just throw another log on the "I want to play this NOW!!" fire.

SW:ToR. Anyone have some ice?

Just in time for summer - Hoth!!

  I was really hoping for this planet. And since I am already familiar with salvaging (thank you Eve). I should be able to help out with all those lovely ship wrecks now. 

   Will be intresting to see what Darth Hater has to say about the planet and the Arabesh. Didn't get a chance to read part 3 of the comic. But I am sure it will happen soon.

  Any ideas on what races they are going to release or when do you think they will announce it?
