TEN THINGS I?LL BE DOING IN STAR WARS GALAXIES
Good evening Men and Gentlewomen! For those of you living under your Star Wars geek-blocking rocks,
Star Wars: Galaxies, An Empire Divided comes out this week! I?ve been awaiting this day for two and a half
years. The first MMORPSWG (Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Star Wars Game) goes live
Thursday. Since I love Star Wars, and I love myself, here?s a list of the things I?ll be doing for the next six
years or so:
Rocking You!
I?m a real life rock star! So naturally I?ll try my hand at being an in-game musician. You won?t even come
close to healing as much mind damage as I will!
Lagging
Despite the super computer I have in my living room, (P4 1.8mhz, 512RAM, ATI Radeon 7500 [with a PCI
interface!]) I barely meet the system requirements for this game. The DSL will help but, in heavily populated
areas, I expect my FPS to drop like a lead ball on Bespin!
Quote The Phantom Menace!
If there?s one thing people hate, its Jar-Jar and Jake Lloyd. Expect to hear me bellowing: ?Yippie,? ?No,
again,? Hiya Boyos,? ?Now this is Podracing,? or ?How Wude!? I?m hoping this will lead to a lot of exciting
Player vs. Player combat!
Pwn 3133t HaxXors!
Level 10 Halfling Druids don?t pull people?s arms out of their sockets when you leetspeek dood! Imperial
Wookiee Teras Kasai masters do!
Ignoring You!
I currently have only one real life friend who even knows this game exists. He doesn?t currently have the
system to play it! If you?re not in-game, I probably won?t be seeing you much. If you ARE, drop me an
email and tell me what server(s) you?re on! See you in Star Wars.
Stalking Devs
Q-3PO, Holocron, Shug Ninx et al are smart enough not to log on using those (or their real) names. I will
find them. I will find them.
Sight Seeing
Lars Homestead, Mos Eisley Cantina, Jabba?s Palace, Theed Palace, Ewok Village? Its all there! They even
placed a certain little downed escape pod somewhere in the Dune Sea!
Nailing Womp Rats
They?re not much bigger than three meters.
Going ?Heh Heh?Force Sensative Slot!?
Upgrade Upgrade Upgrade!
See entry # 2. I still need to upgrade my motherboard, processor, RAM, video card, soundcard, speakers,
monitor, mouse, keyboard? Anyone who wants to make a donation, you know how to reach me.
