This blog has seemed quiet lately.  Too quiet… So considering we don’t have much to talk about (two Threat of Peace issues in a row?  Just announce the Sith Agent already, dangit!) I thought I’d kill some time with AsaTJ’s Fightin’ the Man! Yep, it’s my new segment dedicated to combating the military industrial complex [...]

Well, I’ve gone on the record multiple places saying that, while it would be kind of a bummer, I’m pretty sure humans would be the only playable race in TOR.  All of the gameplay demos showed human players, both KotOR games allowed only human for the main hero, most of the iconic characters the classes [...]

Say what you will about Fan Friday, but it can speak volumes about the game if you read between the lines.  This week, for example, we have both a wampa and a tauntaun added as forum avatars.  If it were one or the other, I’d think maybe they’re going for the “Semi-plausible interplanetary monster transplant” [...]

I just got in the latest issue of PC Gamer, and in an exclusive TOR hands-on, there were some confirmations of things that have been hinted at for some time. Straight from the mouth of Rich Vogel: “The Sith is an action point class.”  Later in the article it is clarified that “he earns points [...]

It has been pointed out to me by various people that the title of my last post may have been offensive to some of you.  For this, I apologize.  It was not my intention to unfairly single out a sector of our community and make them feel somehow inadequate or less than the rest of [...]

Dave and Fiddleback have a great time discussing the event of E3, all the speculation about other classes and still are awed by that trailer we saw on Monday.  We fit in a little guild chatter and talk for a bit on interviews on other websites.  There is a little musical bonus at the end [...]

Amazon.com?  What the hell….we deal in some speculation here…so speculate on this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Wars-Old-Republic-PC/dp/B001O9AQT6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1243986898&sr=8-3 Amazon reckons March 31, 2010 for a release date.  How is Amazon’s track record on these things? Until BioWare says anything official this is just Amazon mucking about. Still….

Ah, the life of a Droid. Perhaps the most misunderstood of the Star Wars characters. But it might be possible to play one in the upcoming The Old Republic. It’s not official yet…but it does present some interesting speculation. First off, playing a Droid is going to be problematic. Droids are property. For all their wits [...]

Okay, if you’ve got a second go take a gander at the new Hasbro/EA join venture. http://hasbro.ea.com/ Now, what’s going on is that EA is bringing Hasbro’s games to the video game market. You know, Monopoly, Risk, etc. So what does that have to do with us Star Wars fans? Well, as we all know [...]
