I was gonna make some remark about this making you a massive nerd, but then I looked at the jedi bathrobe hanging on my wall...

Also, the intro for ToR revealed

errr, didn't I post that like last page?

I love my Sith bathrobe. Shiny is jealous as hell.

Haha, I did think the first 3 minutes looked familiar. Pologies.

We should totally meet up in a public space in the States wearing our bath robes and start a light sabre fight....yeah ok maybe not.

Stupid question tho: isn't your robe too long? I mean I thought there was only one size, and mine comes to like an inch from the floor when i wear it, and i'm a little taller than you. Otoh, your house is probably 5 times as clean as mine, making a dragging hem not as much of an issue.

Mine is very long... it does drag on the ground and the sleeves are long than my arms. but it's ok. As for dueling in public... it'd be cool to flash-crowd it. 2 people doing it... not so cool. 50 people doing it.... fucking epic.

btw, developer walkthrough of a mission on Tatooine.


This is actual gameplay, and it basically shows that TOR is standard MMO fair... but it's fucking star wars and has some really cool things. Not revolutionary, just evolutionary, but that's ok. I'm still excited.

Looks good enough, the bike looks like a mutated vacuum cleaner. The voice acting really helps a lot.

hah...yes... Mr Blood Bath over here i'm sure would cause a lot of mayhem.

Another video, this one highlighting the gameplay features.

Yea Mr Man, Mad Man

Just out of curiosity, which side?

I'm honestly not sure yet. I'm tempted by both sides. Shiny may cast the deciding vote, or she may vacillate until release and force me to choose. considering all the classes on both sides should have interesting stories, I may end up playing all classes on both sides eventually anyway.

I'm not sure if Sith and Republic players can actually assist on each other's storylines. Might be a decisive element for my 'main' character too, depending on what you guys go with. So far I'm liking the Republic Trooper - big gun, tank, not a force user. Too bad he isn't an empire member though.

Haha.... I'm almost certainly going with a force user to start with. And yea, I don't think you can cooperate across sides.

Here's another video. Kinda neat, but not a cool demo like the other ones. Looks very MMO.
