I was able to get to the character selection screen already but trying to get logged in crashes the game. Details to follow at a later date

Knock, Knock,,,, Anybody home?

I am alive! I also have been gaming a little which is really weird. Most of my gaming has been console based and non-multiplayer. After Wow I just didn't want to deal with anybody, lol. I did pick up the new Assassins Creed and tried out its multiplayer though and its kind of fun. I like pretending to be an NPC and then BLAM, Spike through your head, hahahaha. I have also re-upped with Star Wars (although I haven't logged in yet (I know, right) so I can get my credits for being a member before the free-to-play transition. I figured I would play a little hear and there once it goes f2p and at least get through the story and see how it goes. That is all for now K Out!

Because I felt like saying Hi!

Long time no see. I miss blogging sometimes, and I have some reasonable excuses like my old computer dying a painful death and work sucking the mighty. I also have not been gaming much at all to speak of. I am currently unsubbed to all games, though I do have some time left in SWTOR, and Fallen Earth is FTP but I haven't installed it on my new rig yet. My most recent gaming has been console based with a little time spent on the new Twisted Metal (don't like the controls much) and SSX (fun but derivative). Solid first post of the year (lol). Hope everyone else is having more fun than me.

Getting my new place setup is sweet, but...

But it has left me almost no time to play TOR. I have my BH up to level 4 and 3 other toons created to save my names, woot :( yeah I know. I just don't have time with all the moving and cleaning and unpacking. My Dad was able to take some time off so I figured it would be better to use his help while I can than waste that time playing but it makes all my early access time nearly worthless. While other people are playing I am moving and packing. Useful and necessary, but nowhere near as fun. So have some fun out there for me.
K Out!

I am so ready for SWTOR

I can't wait! I want to play now :( I also have a small problem. I close on my new place on Wednesday. While this is awesome I have a horrible feeling that will be when I get my invite, then or on Saturday when I will be moving all day. Because moving the week before Christmas isn't crazy enough now I have this crazy urge to fit gaming time in too. Thank goodness I took a few days off for my move or I would be killing myself with everything going. Only one more day of work though and I can get on with my real stuff, Yeah! That is all.

The Old Beta..

A long time ago in a galaxy far away...... There was lag and more lag and more lag. Yet, this did not keep me from playing for hours over the weekend. I started four toons, got a Trooper up to 12 with a companion and started some crew skills. My other three are between 4-8 because they didn't feel as bad-ass to me. The trooper is almost unstoppable, even with wonky targeting and movement lag so bad I never know which direction I'll be facing. Luckily he is smart enough to shoot behind himself :). Although sadly you get stuck with Jorgen the cat man. He's all bitter about his plight but if you've played a video game, watched an action movie, or read a book with any kind of action plot you can easily figure out why. In fact you already know every story-line ToR has to offer. They didn't try for any originality at all. They picked every standard coming of age, get revenge on your betrayers story-line they could adapt.Yet, I still found it totally fun. The game is so interactive that you just keep going no matter how frustrating it can be. The quests feel like real tasks and the choices you have to make, really make all the difference. The only real problem I foresee having is that making alts in that game is going to be brutal. The starting zone is cut off and you basically have to get to level ten to get out of the zone which takes a few hours at least. I am going to have to upgrade my video card before the game starts to really know whether some of the lag was dependent on that or just them not being able to handle the load yet. But overall I had a blast and would recommend it to anyone who likes MMO's or Star Wars. That's my initial reaction. Everybody have fun out there :) K Out!

I actually have stuff to talk about!

First my big news. I am buying my own place, put an offer down and after a small amount of haggling we came to an accord. :) I have been looking for the last six months so it seems like its been forever getting done. As part of our offer to prove we were serious we put down for a 30 day close so now everything is super rush with inspections appraisals, approvals and so on. This being over the holiday season doesn't help matters and as my closing date is Dec 14 I will be moving at the worst time of year in the winter time. :( I am starting to burn out on all of this but will be extremely happy when it is all done. The place is awesome, I'll try to remember to put some pics up.
Secondly I got a spot in that beta everybody's talking about but as the download speed here is not the fastest I ma on my second day of downloading the client and will still be downloading while enjoy my turkey dinner tomorrow. I will be most thankful if I am able to get in and play at all/ I would love to just create a bunch of characters to see what I like the best although I feel like Imperial Agent is calling my name. I find this mildly surprising as I couldn't play a rogue in WOW to save my life but the IA just looks like so much fun with the sneakiness and exploding bots.
I also got Fallen Earth updated for the first time in three months and have been playing it a little bit. I love the post apocalyptic world and it is such a cool place and the crafting is still crazy awesome but I get overwhelmed in that game because I want to do so much but my resources seem limited. Its basically the gist of the game but we'll see.
I almost forgot I even logged into WOW on a free account because someone reminded me they redid the Troll starting area. I only did one quest because that's about all that I can handle WOW but it seemed cool. I might log in once and awhile just to reminisce.
Well that's enough for now. If I get any playtime in the beta I'll try to post my thoughts on it.
