I have been playing a lot of Star Wars, the Old Republic. I am not sure if I will buy it or not, but I could certainly see myself wasting tons of time on it if I did. I mostly played as imperial agent, but the other charters looked like they were just as expansive. The story seems like it will be the main fun part of this game, unfortunately, there is no way I am making 8 characters to get the full story. This game is also full of lag problems, and the npc movement is so strange that it is funny... well... for a while. Graphics are pretty, especially the cutscenes. If they gave EA and Bioware a movie budget they could easily make a fantastic Star Wars movie... instead of the so-so Clone Wars one. Anyways the game is basically a WoW with a Star Wars skin, and a little Bioware twist on the story. It all comes down to the price for me, because I am not gonna waist a bunch of money when I know Mass Effect 3 will be a much better game in almost every way.

My computer is being slowed to a snails pace due to the giant Star Wars, the Old Republic beta requiring me to download the game. I thought the DC Universe download was bad, but this is on a whole new level. I am pretty excited though, since may be my only chance to play this game for a while. The main issue I have with the test is that it is probably not going to last longer than a weekend. This test is gonna be half for Bioware, half for me, because it will let me know if the game is so good that I need to get it, or it will make me feel more comfortable about waiting. Also, during this post I was able to fix my computers shift button. It probably wasn't my best idea to just rip the thing off and hope it went back together... but it worked! ^~^

I stayed up till 6;30am watching [b]Seven Samurai[/b]. The way I figured out the movie was long was the sun coming up. I also figured out that life sucked pretty hard back then. Samurai take on really dangerous jobs, and no matter their skill, they often die, Farmers are poor and pretty much defenseless, so they are often raided, and the bandits get slaughtered if they attack protected villages. The only people I saw enjoying life were the gamblers, as they just heckled the poor farmers and samurai.

I heard a commercial with the song [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpkkbuzejR0"]Don't Stop by Gin Wigmore[/url] and had to download the whole album and an EP. The EP actually was way better than the album, but both were good. She definitely has good love songs, but everything else is kinda Meh... I have also been giving [b]Oasis [/b]a chance, since I really liked the opening to Edin of the East. I got a lot of stuff from them, but nothing sounds anything like the song that made me a fan. Its kinda sad but I think they are gonna be a one hit wonder for me.

Well, if you are looking for something to do, perhaps you can draw something for me. I am a star wars fan, and I was wondering if you could draw a Chiss Imperial Agent for me, similar to those in Star Wars, Old Republic. As for the general details, Chiss are human like, with blue skin and red eyes. They usually have black, or blue-black hair.

Today I am spending half of my food budget for the next week on one night. Sure this means I am basically eating top ramen and mooching off my friends food for a while, but Filet Mignon is not gonna get any cheaper than it is right now. These steaks can make anyone look like an amazing chef, since no matter what you do to them, they are still gonna be the best thing you have eaten since you had Filet Mignon last. I am also planning on making a red potato mash, since those are always fantastic as well. I think they are the one good reason to use sour cream in the world (though buttermilk tastes a little better IMO.) EDIT: there turned out to be no more of the steaks... so I got Flat Iron steaks instead. I dunno how these are gonna turn out, but at least I am closer to on track with my food budget.

I Have been playing way too much [b]Battlefield 3[/b] and even though I constantly die, playing with a squad of friends is too much fun for me. If I was by myself playing, I would probably just get mad and drop it though. I stared playing [b]Star Ocean: Second Story[/b]. as well. So far the characters are much more likable right off the bat I really haven't gotten very far though, so I will probably have to post about this again.

[quote name='chibi-master' timestamp='1321306071' post='710250'] I dread having to drive on snow someday. Or rain. Or in a busy street. [/quote] Don't worry, I am sure you will be fine at it... I just hope you can reach the pedals when that time finally comes.

I am sure it will depend on the success of the movies, and maybe how well it does when they bring the series here. I am just glad they are giving us more.

Squeee!!1 I can't wait for April!

Well, I just got an invite to the Beta, and I will be sure to fill out any details I can once I actually get to play. From what I can gather, they are sending a lot more Beta invites out nowadays because they want to stress test the server. If you haven't checked your Email yet, I suggest doing it because odds are really in your favor. All of my friends that signed up got in, and one of them had already beta tested once already. EDIT: Seems like the Beta is starting this Friday, then going through Monday.

Last time there was snow, I hand-crafted an alligator out of it. It took almost the entire day, and I ended up getting sunburned... but it was totally worth it. Something about having a gator in your front lawn just makes you feel like more of a man. d:

You guys have all been here too long!

[quote name='Shishou' timestamp='1320985814' post='710180'] [size="2"]Where is everyone?[/size] [/quote] I was probably asleep... I have been staying up for 36 hours then sleeping for ten. I have a really comfy chair and it has been serving as a second bed. It is a recliner my grandpa had and it was just sitting in the garage at his place, so I took it and now it is getting used all the time. I get to lay on the chair with a blanket as we head into winter. Its gonna be dropping to a chilly 60 degrees around this time, so I need to be ready. d:

There are a lot of good holidays this month, but I really needed an excuse to have a party with my bear, and next week I can! This thanksgiving is probably gonna be like all the others, The one day out of the year that I force myself to eat turkey. Of all the wonderful meats in the world, why did one dry bird get to be the star? I usually soak mine in a pool of cranberry sauce and then nibble on it a little between bites.
