I Am Underwhelmed By Support Of Community Building

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on December 13, 2011 by NjessiDecember 13, 2011

Normally, I don’t do a “U SUCK (insert game development company here)” because it doesn’t do any good.  But things have been so thoroughly bungled in this launch that I have to say something or I’ll explode. No, it’s not … Continue reading »

The Uncoordinated Agent

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on November 25, 2011 by NjessiNovember 24, 2011

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on November 23, 2011 by NjessiOctober 6, 2012

Last weekend, a bunch of my friends got into beta.  Their weekend consisted of picking up hot pockets and not leaving the house.  My weekend was very different, as you saw.  Besides the computer issues, I am still a parent, … Continue reading »

Where in the Galaxy are the Female Gamers?

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on November 17, 2011 by NjessiNovember 17, 2011

I’ve been obsessed with polls lately, mostly so I don’t create a cookie cutter toon right out of the box.  I found on the official forums a really super-complete poll about gender/species/class/role/alignment.  According to said poll, 20% of players plan … Continue reading »

Character Creation: A Tale of My Idiocy

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on November 14, 2011 by NjessiNovember 26, 2011

Just to get this out of the way… this does NOT give away any beta information.  It’s just a commentary on my own inability to handle character creation in any game in a calm manner. I do not want to … Continue reading »

Inconvenient Relatives, Annoying Holidays, and Release Date

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on October 26, 2011 by NjessiNovember 17, 2011

My mom is visiting in late November (Thanksgiving).  Ok, no big deal… it’s unlikely that the early access for preorders will start that early. My dad wants to visit “mid-December.”  Yargh.  That will probably be right during early access.  And … Continue reading »

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on September 21, 2011 by NjessiSeptember 29, 2011

Ok, nobody really reads the very first blog post, right? Here’s the deal:  I spent a long time on the “About” page so I feel like it would be duplicative (not duplicitous) to say it all here. So shoo!  Here’s … Continue reading »
