There should be a thread a few down from this one. :)

You have been selected to participate in the final STAR WARS: The Old Republic Beta Test.
Started on friday, was only in the last beta weekend and didn't get into any of the earlier ones, anyone else get into the last beta?

The Analytics report for KnightsofStonewall.com from November.

I have fun when I get to see it. It's a little far down my list of shows I try to catch in the little time I have to do so, but it's always fun.

As far as Dinosaurs go I find myself watching the new season of Primeval more. Last season was a total thrill ride and this one is just getting better.

I played EVE briefly years ago... until I found out there are no actual players but only spaceships and a vast darkness with plenty of distant astral farms... wasn't for me.

You can actually get out of your ship and walk around now. :P

I would try the GLBTA Channel. A good number of people use it to chit chat.

Like Nicholas mentioned above, my friend too confirmed that EVE is very homophobic and there aren't any openly gay guilds/corporations out there. There is a small "gay friendly" corp who's leader & main officers are gay. They are sending out invites to players who have the guts to post anything gay related in forums but that corp is strictly in the closet and you can't find them with the search option I was told.

I watched them on Hulu because I never get to see them on TV because of timing. I hate the 7 day waiting period...I'm so impatient. I love the show. So far, I like how they've had an episode about just about every major character just to get some personality development behind the people. Something I do really like is that while it's sci fi/fantasy, it's not over the top. I'd like to see a little more depth to the storylines though. So far, it's been a little superficial while they build some momentum behind the gate being bisexual (trying to get it to go both says LOL). The last episode was a little disappointing because of who the colony spy.

It's a Jawa balloon. You climb on an "abandoned" sandcrawler (I enquote it because the lights are all on on the inside) and wait up to 40 minutes for it to arrive and then its a 20 minute ride in the gondola to another "abandoned" crawler. :P When I did it, the person with whom I was riding was constantly sliding backwards; although, to them, I was the one sliding backwards.

ooh neat. more fun to look forward to!

I chatted extensively with an opposite faction player while riding the balloon to get to the Datacrons.

interesting. and in contradiction to the OP's statement. Riding balloons sounds fun though. Where do they have balloons?

Got my invite too .... Shoulda checked on here to see what the skinny on all this was, since I didn't know we had a beta guild. I have two characters right now on Leviathan. Siorae (Jedi Sentinel) on Republic side and Desiderus (Sith Marauder) on Imp side. Really liking Imp story line, btw. Totally evil and wicked and all that. I'll check back later today and see if anyone who can invite to the beta guilds is on.

Episode 453 - Deep Space Nine - "Till Death Do Us Part" - 04/14/1999

http://www.allstepisodes.com/megvid.php?n=3718

Captured by the Breen, Ezri and Worf undergo mental torture. Sisko agonizes over his broken engagement. Disguised as a Bajoran, Dukat begins to work on converting Kai Winn to worship the evil Pah-Wraiths.

Enjoy!

I have a buddy who's an EVE-o-phille so he should know about it. I will post here as soon as I hear back or have him post here himself.

I have a Naga but i just cant get into the habit of using the side keys.

it took some getting used to but now i cant imagine playing an mmo without one. its so nice having 36 hotkeys right at my thumb.

I must admit, 12 buttons on the side of my mouse seems intimidating. Did you get used to it fairly easily? I am imagining I will hit all the wrong keys all the time. I am looking to buy one, but was leaning toward a mouse with less buttons.

It doesn't actually contradict what was said. Custom chat channels don't allow cross-faction conversations, but /say works fine across factions for folks who are nearby. I suppose the entire issue would be moot if we all kept our characters in the same place. :)

Ah, gotcha. :)
I was confused I guess because, technically, he said:

Quote by Neilston

To make a long story short, even Custom chat channels will not allow cross faction chatting.

and I interpreted "even" blah blah as implying that no chat channel would allow cross faction. My bad.

In any case, I hope they make it to ya all's liking. :)
maybe it'll even become relevant to me if I end up pvp-ing. Though it seems unlikely it will be any more than the occassional diversion for me that it was in other games...

Once you get to $199 for a keyboard, will that $51 extra really matter? :P

I got my invite. But dont be stupid like me and log out for dinner. Huge queue tonight and very slow going. I am on the the leviathan sever name Kumari whisper if you wanna say hi.

omg 250 for the keyboard , what happened to 199 :huh:

Well thats no good. I love the space combat aspect, but have grown to love being in a fleet of my fellow 'mo's.

Cheers!

i never understand why they let individuals have characters of both factions on the same server.

Because it's just a game.

lol. well why not have cross faction chat then? Seems inconsistent. You'd think either the 2 factions are as separate as can be or not.

I rarely if ever even pvp, so please don't confuse me with someone who has a stake in this. I'm just trying to understand.
