Well I've managed to get my SI and Smuggler to 50 now.. although I haven't finished the Smuggler's storyline..and I still haven't travelled to Ilum yet.. I seem to be juggling time on my Bounty Hunter and Jedi Knight as well.. I do think that's one of the key approaches to not getting burnt out on the worlds. Alternate Imp/Rep styles... My sister created her first Alt.. she's trying out a Sith Sorcerer after getting her Jedi Shadow up to late 30's.. So I had a Sith Warrior and we actually ran through Korriban and Dromund Kaas together which was an interesting experience (okay, technically we still haven't finished DK just yet..). It's interesting to note how the game picks up on you being in a group, and also had some references to us being the same group who did the Black Talon - The Imperial Agent who hands you that mission straight from Allo, Allo talks about it , and I can't recall him saying such when solo'ing it...

And this is a pic I stumbled across.. Someone who takes their gaming maybe a wee bit too seriously...

I know a few people who do class only, and just use heroics, pvp, space combat and flashpoints to keep levelling up.

I don't think you could really work the craft system that easily with just the one character and the 3 crew skills, no matter how you selected. I mean, okay, Artifice/Archaeology/Treasure Hunting does a decent job.. but the others seem a bit more spread out. Having multiple characters with a spread of crew skills and extra gathering skills makes things so much easier to work on.

Actually no. It's damn easy to get hold of all the grade 6 stuff. The pain is getting the grade 2/3 stuff so I can create good stuff for my lower level characters... Go figure.

Because I pre-ordered Hitman Absolution, I got my special promotion code for this "Hitman Sniper Challenge" thing.. which you redeem at Square Enix for a code you can plug into Steam.. Of course, then Steam tells me I need another product activated first, but I can't activate Hitman Absolution because I haven't got the bloody game yet.. This seems a great setup for the promotion so far....

Now that I've got 5 characters, I'm getting into the crafting system.. Although I seem to have evolved it where several characters don't have any crafting skills, just gathering/mission ones.. and they all pump resources around each other...

Although you do expect some better choices from a man with an IQ of 160... I guess the needs of a paycheque must take precedence..

And Square Enix is announcing profits after selling 2 million Deus Ex units... Mayhaps this will mean we'll see some more dlc..or potentially another DE game...

I believe they're.. Tibetan originally.

And you have to use the right water. if you just use tap water.. it's a good chance of increasing infection catching..

And the proposal of building a curent generation of the USS Enterprise.. with tech specs based on actual technology available to build it.. over the next 20 years.. http://phys.org/news/2012-05-real-starship-enterprise-years.html

In space.. No one can hear mom Squee!

Woke up with a headache, tried to stay in bed, but spent several hours fading in and out of sleep with some bizarre freaky dreams. Gave it up as a bad idea and got up to face the rest of the day.

Still puttering around on TOR. Have got to get back to play some of the Saints Row the Third dlc at some point, but haven't been in the right wacky mood.

So there I was, taking a moment to clean out the drawer in the fridge... I mean it was like 30 seconds, and I turn back and boom.. I present.. FridgeCat!

No, I've got my SI capped out, my smuggler just hit 50 but still has class and world quests to wrap up on Corellia. I still haven't hit Illium with either of them. Just popping off some of the assorted bonus missions and wotnot. Hoth, Voss, Corellia... I've got a Jedi Knight in the low 30's on Alderaan. I just spent a chunk of the evening running my Bounty Hunter through Dromund Kaas and there was a planetary population of around 30-45, the majority of which were in the 11-17 range. And I've got a Sith Marauder who's 11th still lurking on the Imperial Fleet... From what I've seen, I have to say that Corellian Run seems to be pretty balanced in population Republic / Imperial wise. Heh, now that you can email between your characters without concern for Republic/Imperial wise.. I have to say it's being a little surreal how my smuggler say is picking up materials and level 5 c ompanion gifts, then sending them to the Imp characters who craft stuff then can be used to send those finished products to the Republic side.. (bad roleplaying I know..but hey..it's one of those funky things). That and my Guild is established on both sides so there's that sort of trade between the guild banks.

Well I did say a long time ago.. and it was around that '91-'93 time frame. Of course, I was channeling my inner Belloq whilst clambering around the Pyramids..

I don't know why.. but Diablo has never had great appeal to me. Hm.

Family Photos from Hiiiiiistory.... A long time ago, in a far sandier place...

Had a brief spurt of getting my Smuggler through Corellia. I don't know why but I there's something about that planet that just doesn't hit my Star Wars oomph button. On the other hand, I am thinking of spending a few hours pushing my Bounty Hunter through Dromund Kaas at some point this week... And once again, I growl over the way you have to piecemeal the companion gear sets.

This was the final nail in the coffin for me. I had 3-4 planets each with a few heroics to do and every day I would log in and fly to each planet trying to scrounge up a pug in trade chat only to see 10 people on the entire planet. And I was on a supposedly well populated server, Corellion Run. Hm, that's the server I use. If I'm on during daytime/early evening hours (gmt) there's usually that 10-20 folks around on a planet. When it's hitting later evening it can get quite populated, especially on that fri-sunday stretch. I'll tend to throw out a "anyone interested in x heroic" if I've got them, but I'm not that fussed about them. They generally don't seem to be as interesting as the other quests you pick up (either from class or general world). Although it would be nice if you could get access to companion gear via the heroics as well...
