Well Damn, no BETA spoiler videos for you.

So it turns out that Bioware might maybe possibly have some way of tracking recording of their games, and might maybe possibly have included it in the Beta they handed out like razor-lined Halloween candy. Thankfully I came across this info before I pulled down anything myself via fraps, so I didn't get to test out whether the rumors were true first hand. However, this means I'm not going to be editing any videos for release ASAP. No, the most I have from my weekend of running around TOR's finest is a handful of screen shots and some memories.

It's tough to tell how well TOR is going to do at this point in the game. It's succeeded including a couple of largely unseen elements into the MMO genre, but not enough thatnt my mind was blown away or anything. Of course, on the other hand it still has the names Bioware and Star Wars attached to it, which is pretty much a marketing team's wet dream. They'll inevitably have a solid player base for a while at least, but it's still up in the air as to whether they'll be making much money off the game. The expenses were astronomical from all reports.

School Year

We're diving into the University school year and it's going to be a battle to keep posting here. Don't get me wrong - I still enjoy writing, but honestly the way I've set up my week isn't exactly built to help it. See, I'm basically doing two days of school, and that's it. Just both of those day happen to be 10 hours long and have very little in the way of breaks in them. My usual method for blogging consists of using it to unwind at the end of a work day, and those have suddenly become scarce. I'm doing two or three shifts a week now, but while that means things won't disappear entirely they could take another drop.

The solution is more random posts about nothing to replace the drop off, but I'm not entirely certain if I can get my lazy ass in gear to make those. I tend to need incentive to write, and that doesn't jive with spouting any old crap. I'd say we can shift back to games we've been playing, but frankly that slowed down a bit. Adding in the RPG as a regular for the nights kinda threw them through a loop. We'll have to see how that develops in the coming semester.

Ah well, I'm really rambling now, so I'm gonna go cut orkz in half for a while.
