Speaking of prologues, I think its a really nice touch the the loading screen updates to reflect your current progress.

Which kid took over, the one he considered too "feminine" or the one that tried to sneak into Japan with fake papers?

So, now a lvl 16 Sith Inquisitor and having a great time. Im a low down rotten bastard that will lightning you in the back the minute the opportunity presents itself. I very much enjoy the way you interact with the quest giver NPC's but sometimes catch myself trying to game the system to win approval with my meat shield companion. Hes one serious sonuvabiatch. If I even say "nice to meet you" I get the dreaded [Val -1]. Ive done every quest and instance possible for my level and IMO the individual instances are a huge step forward for MMO's. Not having 25 other people trying to gank the same quest objective is really nice. Ah, server que, I had forgotton your harsh lesson. Friday at 9:30 Central Time I was number 606 in que. That took about an hour to get through.

I'm buzzing away on Correllian Run with a Sith Inquisitor... Ok, toon name is Gfted. Soon as I get leveled a bit we can kick some butt for evil!

Good to see you in high spirits. Hope youre doing well.

Alright, well once I create my toon this evening Ill send you a PM with the details. I cant wait to mercilessly torture my slavewife. I shall make her a Wookie just so I can giggle at all the hair. Is that weird?

Are the Sith Republic or Empire? Im Central Time (I know you're Pacific) and Raithe is what, its like next Tuesday in England right? Joking, I know its GMT +6 from Chicago to England so I dont know how viable it will be to play with him unless hes willing to pull all-nighters.

Huh, just got an email granting access. Huzzah! And with the next three days off I should be able to make some good progress. Have you guys settled on a server yet? Anyone want to start a fresh character with me. I'm going Sith Inquisitor.

Thats the place! Wow, what a small world.

Where are you in the US (if you don't mind me asking)? Tennessee, I work in Memphis but I live about 40 miles north of there. I love Tennessee. Was stationed in Millington ~91 for "A" school and met some of the nicest people anywhere. Good times on Beale street too. I remember this one bar right outside the base where every Wednesday was "All you can drink night" for $7.00, yes seven dollars. Crazy bastages.

I've noticed a lot of you Europeans watch your electrical consumption closely, are electric bills high over there? Its something I almost never consider. I mean, Ill turn off lights and stuff that nobody is using but my PC runs 24/7 and we frequently have three TV's on (two of which are large). *consumes the worlds resources*

Super 8, better than I expected. Fun popcorn monster flick.

Speaking of which, LCD TV prices have really dropped here of late. A few weeks ago I bought myself a 42" Visio for something like $479.

Who ever said you would? As a matter of fact, games have barely increased in price over their history. What was once $49.99 is now what, $59.99? I've lost track of the amount of times I've seen publishers and developers make that claim. So you are saying that you have read that were it not for piracy, prices would have somehow decreased since the 90's / early 2000's? Weird.

Took my daughter to the optometrist yesterday. Seems I successfully passed down my nearsightedness. She looks adorable in her glasses but of course she mortified by what everyone will think, lol.

In your mind, "smoking a joint with your mates" is the same as forcibly taking anothers property and "giving it away" to someone? Wow, way to depart from reality. While examining countries, you may want to look inward on what makes you think that way.

"Occupy activists descend on Brooklyn on first day of campaign to move homeless people into buildings foreclosed by US banks" Just a few corrections for you there Gfted1: 'they' are moving homeless people (not themselves) into empty foreclosed homes. Whether you agree with it or not, you're clearly trying to spin it negatively. Yes, because its their property to seize and give away. Whether they give it to homeless or retarded nuns, its their movement performing illegal actions. Everyone involved should have been pepper sprayed and hauled to jail.

Oh look, now the Occupy crowd are giving themselves homes. I gotta admit, its not a bad racket. I should give myself a house then go to the bank and give myself a few million dollars. But here I sit, working like a chump.

I think we should put landmines all over the Somali ocean.

Spent the weekend hanging Christmas lights on the house, setting up the tree and setting out all of my wifes chachkies.

I still write it in military format: 2 Dec 11.

Like, you got mugged in the street on the way home? Anyway, sorry to hear that.

Become a British spy.

Playing WoW and Tuesday the 4.3 patch dropped which included three new instances and two new raids, one of which is yet to be implemented. Im already disappointed. Granted, Im overgeared, but all the new content is super easy. In less ~1.5 hours, in a pick up group, we cleared all three new instances. Then, to make matters worse, WoW created a new system called Looking For Raid where random people can que and form a 25 man raid. Since these raids are composed of random people they decided to make the difficult level for these type groups lower than a regular 25 man raid composed of non-random players. Apparently this difficulty level is set to "faceroll" because I jumped in a random group last night and we one-shot every single boss. To those that dont raid/MMO, thats almost impossible to do with 25 random scrubs in a brand new raid thats only been out two days.
