Feel free to pass on my Sith Inquisitor's name if either of you need help. Although I have to say, the space station is a big circle, and has a good map. How do you get lost on it?? My wife doesn't really play games. I think the elevator buttons are her problem, and figuring out which one to take. She also isn't the most patient person in the world.

I'm glad to hear everyone is enjoying it, I thought it was something special when I was testing it. I'm curious what the folks who dislike MMO's in general around here think about it, but they probably aren't playing it yet. I'm almost level 30, but now that I'm back to work I won't be moving nearly as fast. My goal right now is to finish up act 1 on my trooper to unlock the legacy system, and then I'll spend some time playing with other classes. I haven't given any time to my sith warrior, but that will change soon. My wife actually has an inquisitor up to level 11, but apparently she is lost on the space station and doesn't know where to go. I'll have to help her out later

Mission Impossible 4 - It was pretty good, the supporting cast was very strong this time around. I think if you liked the other ones, you won't find much to disagree with.

I really enjoy sending my companions out for Investigation missions. They bring back cool companion gifts. I've stalled out a bit on Armstech, I have scavenging up too high and I don't get the needed stuff easily. I can do grey missions, but it still comes in at a trickle. I will probably just stick with Investigation and scavenging going forward, and maybe sell stuff on the market. I actually have yet to even look at the auction house.

I rode a hot air balloon around Tatooine this morning. It was pretty slow, but the two datacrons at the end were worth it. There was a Sith guy with us, and he missed one of the ledges and didn't get the last datacron though. Yikes, that was a lot of time to spend and miss out on one.

We had a great three days in San Francisco. Tuesday we went to The Presidio, which was fun to look around but not much was open. Wednesday we spent around Macy's and all the shopping areas, we picked up a few items to keep the wife happy. Today we hit the wharves, eating crab and clam chowder on the waterfront. We also got sundaes at Ghiradelli Square. The weather held up nicely, and we had a good time using the ferries, buses, and trains. It was a very crowded week, but the spikes I installed on the stroller helped us clear a path. Tomorrow we head home.

Ice9, can you make gear for your companions? I have armstech and I end up selling everything as well. Deathdealer, your crafting might be outpacing your leveling. I'm not quite sure how it works, but there are different tiers of crafting missions, and you might need to reach a certain player level to unlock the higher level crafting missions. Just a guess, I might be wrong. Just reach Tatooine, glad I have my speeder bike. It's a pretty awesome way to get around, actually.

Should be a long series of lines and traffic jams >.>. It's one of the busiest days of the year! We are spending the week in the city, we won't actually get any shopping done today, as we are just traveling to the park and setting up camp. We also won't do any driving, we park the RV in Marin, take the ferry to the city, and then walk and use buses to get everywhere. So take that Mr. Grinch!

I'm loading up the RV today and we are headed to San Francisco for a few days. I think we are going to go to the Presidio and Alcatraz, and then spend a day shopping around. Should be a blast!

Merry Christmas everyone. My children are buried in toys right now.

Setzer, try to get in touch with someone over the swtor twitter, they seem to be helping people on a case by case basis. I can understand your frustration, that's ridiculous.

I read somewhere that Tortella said he just couldn't find enough minutes for Avery. That sounds like a load. Does NYR have some sort of insane depth where all 4 lines are scoring a ton of goals? He can fit on a 4th line every night and should be able to get 7 minutes of ice time. I don't really get it.

I read that he was a healthy scratch, but I'm with Volo on the Avery bandwagon. The guy still brings an energy like very few others, and he played a role in turning the fortunes of the Rangers around. If they slip, he's the first guy they are going to turn to.

Sounds great Wals! My wife and I are doing chicken and double baked potatoes for Christmas lunch. We brine the chicken overnight with rosemary, then we cook the bacon in the oven for the potatoes. We leave the bacon fat in the tray and then put the chicken in the oven, and it actually flavors the chicken with a bit of a bacon taste. It's very tasty. We are also doing brussel sprouts but I haven't figured out how we will prepare them yet. Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

Awesome Raithe. I'm only up to level 21 and barely got my 2nd (3rd if you count my ship protocol droid) companion. But I'm enjoying the heck out of the Trooper story. My wife and I are also slowly working our way up the levels together, she as a Jedi Knight and me as a consular. We are on the last quests on the starter planet. It's been pretty awesome playing together, the fact that I answer everything like a total douche while she tries to be nice has been hilarious.

Hey, I think it was brilliant that they set up a queue for the website. The alternative is you put in all your information and end up with an error because of the overload. Then you have to worry whether it actually went through or not. I entered my information on the day I got the games, last Friday.

Just reached Nar Shadaar (I think that's the name.) Wow, it's basically Vegas in the sky. It's an amazing looking planet.

Kidproof? Kid-tested, more like. We had a few of the durable ones near the bottom, but my son requisitioned them for other spots in the house. He is 18 months, a little over 2 foot tall and a bit of a terror. I caught him kicking open a present the other day. My daughter is 4, and she's actually more difficult because she can reach much higher. She is better at following directions, but it still is tough to have anything breakable in her reach. I told my wife to put away any of the really sentimental ones for a few years.

I hit level 20 today. I also had my first real tough dark/light choice. I had a war criminal in custody, but I had to choose between killing him or letting him go. Both my companion and my commanding officer were saying pull the trigger, the guy has killed thousands of innocents. It was a tough choice.

I'm cleaning up the kids room, which is a bit overwhelming. I'm throwing out quite a few little things, which will make some space for the Christmas presents. The biggest hurdle is all the clothes, we received a huge amount of boxes from my sisters for my son, and I need to box up what doesn't fit and put away what he hasn't grown into. We've been running a humidifier for a about a week while the kids fought off a cough, and I found some goldfish (the crackers) under my daughter's bed that had mildewed. It was pretty gross.

Yes, but that was right up their alley. Tron worked great as a stylized FPS with puzzles. I don't see how any of their IP's translate well for The Hobbit.

I watch Youtube Datacron videos, and they make it a bit easier to not die a bunch. But I also just ignore the ones with any overly frustrating jumps.

My Republic characters are Brashen and Taranto. I started a Sith named Tralgen, but I haven't played him much yet.

Nice tree Raithe. Ours looks a bit funny because there are no ornaments hanging on the first three feet.

Nobody is really attacking atheism. What exactly is the evolution of souls? It seems like you are trying to define and pin down something that is inherently indefinite and ever changing. We might as well try to figure out where love came into existence, or really any deep emotion.
