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

WP + Gravitar = Dumbest thing ever

Somewhere in all the updating and supposed upgrading WordPress has been doing over the course of who knows how long, my avatar was moved over to Gravitar.  And now when I comment on someone’s blog, even if it’s another WP blog, instead of linking back here to my blog, it just links to my icon over on Gravitar.com – ANNOYING! Also, when you used to update profile info on WP, it was retro-active to any comments you had made before.  However, in trying to fix this stupid issue, I found … Continue reading

Busy with projects, gaming, and holidays!

So I’m still behind in blogging.  I’m just hoping to get at least one post a month now, whereas I used to try for 2 or 3 a week when I first started.  I just can’t seem to find that much time anymore. Lately I’ve been spending far too much time in Skyrim, reading a pretty good book, working on my tarot music videos, and trying to get ready for the holidays.  I’ve also been spending far too much money on expanding my tarot card collection. I’ve also been acquiring … Continue reading

Skyrim first thoughts; Good, but not great.

First the bad news: Don’t get me wrong, I’m digging the game and the story so far, but what I’m not liking are the very hokey controls.  It was obviously developed for console and not a PC environment.  It’s even worse than Oblivion, which also had a hair-brained interface.  Flipping through weapons and spells is downright tedious, even if/when you get them “favorited” (didn’t know they surfed the web in these RPG universes – ugh).  Also the lack of information in the so-called manual is appalling.  It’s about as helpful … Continue reading
