Collecting…

I’m a collector.  My parents were collectors too, so I blame them 🙂  Both my Mom and Dad collected various things; Stamps (both), Coins (Dad), Rocks (Dad), Bird Figurines (Mom), and a whole bunch of other stuff – on the edge of “hoarder” magnitude, but far enough from the edge to be considered sane – hehe. Me? I’m also a mass collector – I have many diverse collections; Kachinas, Tarot Cards, Books, Space Ship Models, etc.  Again, just this side of sanity 🙂   Currently, my book collection is by far … Continue reading

SWTOR Crafting

I’m posting this because whenever I try to look this up I keep getting a very colorful, yet nearly useless image trying to show what crafts require which skill.  There is a nice, simple table format for it out there somewhere that I’ve only found once, but I have since never been able find it, so I’m making my own. Unfortunately, WP doesn’t have a simple way to insert a table, so I’m going to have to use a list. The order is: Craft + Gathering Skill + Mission Skill Armortech + Scavenging + … Continue reading

SWTOR and Sax

One month in and I’m still really digging SWTOR and some of the dialogue is just making it that much better.  I about fell out of my chair when my companion piped up, “Don’t look at me, I don’t know what we’re doing. I just shoot things!”  Too funny!  I’ve got one of each archetype up to level 20 now, and my “main” (Sith Inquisitor/Sorcerer) is level 30.  There was definitely a difficulty jump as I neared 30, but it seems OK now that I’ve crossed that threshold. In other … Continue reading

Post Holidays Report

I hope y’all survived the holidays!  I had a great time spending time with family up in (very cold) Utah, but I’m glad to be back home in the warmer climes of Las Vegas. I’m still very much involved in playing Star Wars: The Old Republic.  I now have at least one character of every class archetype levelled up to where they have their spaceship – I wanted to see what they all looked like.  I think my favorite ship, by far, is the one given to the Empire Agents.  … Continue reading

Star Wars: The Old Republic – First Impression

So I’ve been in the pre-play for Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) since Friday and I’m really enjoying it so far. I’ve played several ‘toons up to level 10+ just to see what they’re like and to figure out who’s going to be my “main.”  So far, it’s looking like my Sith Inquisitor is going to win that competition. In general, I’m actually loving the game!  Which, to be honest surprised me.  I wasn’t even going to pick up this title ‘cuz I’ve never really been interested in the … Continue reading
