SWGeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.2
A couple of people asked for pix, here and on FB, so prepare for full-on (mega-newbie) nostalgia. My first char (can’t make another until tomorrow) is a crafter, which means she’s going to spend the...
View ArticleSWG – I informed you thusly
It’s been linked all over the place these last couple of days, but I’m going to add a link here for the perhaps 1.2 people who may not have seen it elsewhere. “It” being Raph Koster’s article, in which...
View ArticleSWG – Poor Jaxes
And I say I want to be a creature handler. Clearly I have no shame. Carnage. Oh, and can I tame you? My fighty-character Ysharros just made novice CH, in fact, thanks to the company of some great...
View ArticleSWG – poor me
I’ve been sick as a slicehound all day today. Of course I have, it’s that MMO gaming rule again: I made time to play last night and the server crashed. Made time to play this morning and spent it...
View ArticleSWG – The Master Speaks
I mentioned Raph Koster’s post a few days ago, but as it turns out there are a bunch of them about SWG and I’m still cursing the loss of Google Reader (yes I bloody well hold a grudge, at least in this...
View ArticleSWG – The Week in Pictures
Weirdly, I actually played for hours this week — or rather, I had 2 clients running for hours this week, but most of what was happening was that my crafty characters were sampling resources while I was...
View ArticleSWG – May the Fourth be with you
I had to. The screenshot has the UI in it so SWG-oldies can see nothing has really changed. Which is both good and bad. Remember the auto-targeting? Got some playing time in during the weekend, even if...
View ArticleSWG – Mastery and Miscellany
This CH stuff is all from a couple of weeks ago, in fact, because times they have been pretty busy in the meantime. More on that later (briefly, as it’s mostly RL stuff). Ysharros went out hunting with...
View ArticleSWG – Hangin’ with my Thune and other handy slash commands
Got a little bit of time to play in between massive work-dumps, so here are some more screenshots. They mostly involve Heloise, who is going to be my swordsman/doctor and just got her AOE melee attack...
View ArticleSWG – Life, the Grind and Everything
I guess May wasn’t going to be the month during which I posted every day, and apparently June isn’t either. I have a half-assed determination to do that, mostly to prove to myself that I have more to...

The Steam Monster Summer Sale, that is. Go forth and find some games! It’s possible my finger slipped and I purchased The Repopulation; I don’t know much about it but I have an old friend very much...

It’s on sale on Steam for a few more days. Find out more about the game here, or do a Google search you lazy bastards. Here are my very brief first impressions. It’s in alpha. Read it again: ALPHA....
View ArticleYou know it’s summer when…
… you think Oh jeez, I’d better log into an MMO or my harvesters/garrison/housing will go up in smoke. It’s the summer doldrums, which means that despite the lovely Steam sale and all, I’d rather be...

In reply to my previous post, pskinner mentioned Trove, which apparently could be a crafter’s paradise. I saw that this morning, just before checking my mail… In which I found this: And then I remember...
