Our Short Film

Hey, guys.

After almost a year of effort, my brother Thomas Robb ("Rex Logen" on Blend Swap and CGCookie) and I have completed our short film.

It's silent until the very end, just so you know ahead of time.

Without further ado, we present Star Wars: Millicent.

Good News For Harissa Fans!

That's right.

Harissa's story will continue very soon!

We are one with the Force and the Force is with us.

Random Thoughts: Kindness in SWTOR

(From February 2, 2017)

This morning I joined my very first group, in connection with a Heroic mission on Dromund Kaas. I used the chat option for the first time too. It was both terrifying and exciting for me.

Fortunately, the player who helped me out was very kind, and willing to explain just about everything to me, from how to not get stuck in chat when you're trying to fight, how in blazes to complete that one mission, and how to find my Quick Travel, which had been missing.

I even fell off a cliff, and had to be revived.

The level of consideration shown to me was quite wonderful, and even though I managed to not be very helpful in any of the actual battles, I still had fun...

And I'm far more likely to try grouping again in the future now. Hopefully I can get the hang of it to where I'm actually a help, instead of just a learner.

So for all of you people out there who take the time to help a new person learn to play well and have fun: thank you. Thank you so much. You make the world just a bit brighter— in the Star Wars universe and here in our own.

The Force will be with you, always.

Random Thoughts: Cad Bane Has Fangs

(From January 27, 2017)

Cad Bane has fangs.

And somehow, through all the times I've watched his episodes, loving every second of it—

I never noticed.

Me. Who absolutely loves fangs.

Ah, well. Now I know.

Random Thoughts: Stronghold Mania

(From January 26, 2017)

I may have gone a little bit bonkers this morning.

I spent my entire allotted SWTOR hour in my Coruscant Stronghold (the only one I have for now) running around my three open rooms and figuring out what in blazes to do with them with the decorations I already possess.

 Everything ended up placed, except for the 49 other copies of the various pictures I collected from the 5-year Anniversary Vendor.

 

I may have accidentally discovered what the word bound means on an item as I played around with sticking things in my Legacy Cargo bay. On some things I would get red text that said it couldn't move there because it was bound.

And apparently pets belong to a single character too? Back during the Life Day event, I threw snowballs like a madwoman until I had enough parcels for the baby wampa. That was with Triscalion (my Jedi Knight Sentinel). But when I logged on with Eegan and went looking, there wasn't even a pets tab in that panel. Curious.

 

Anyway. Odd stuff happened. Apparently Triscalion had various companions as decorations automatically? I used a token to create him, making him instantly high-level so I could take him through Knights of the Eternal Throne. I haven't played KotFE, and I'm still working on the original game, so I have absolutely no idea who any of these people are. Deciding that didn't matter, I placed them all around the room anyway.

Then I came back with Eegan, to see which ones would look like blue holograms and which would be physically present.

And discovered that the two who didn't look like holograms had lost all their clothes. The Cathar male, and the Devaronian with the broken horn. That's baffling me a bit.
