    Did the quit smoking thing in May of 2009... not even gonna try and sugar coat that - you know better anyway - but it does get easier the longer you put between you and it... imo, it was worth it

    Not looking forward to the actual process, but I have to wait until the other person in the house can quit with me, and that happens next month.

    3 days that are just "missing" ... followed by 2 weeks of hell... followed by 2 months of "do I really have to do this?" ...after which it starts feeling like "hey, this isn't so bad" ... and then you actually starting getting some of the benefits...

    I went "cold-turkey" ... no sense in dragging it out anymore than necessary imo... This was after 4 decades of heavy smoking... The absolute best advice I could possible give; try not to talk for the first two weeks... you'll feel like you're "dealing with it" ok and then someone will say something so unforgivably stupid it defies description - you'll want to ... but just don't say anything at all... you'll have burned fewer bridges by the end of the process if you can manage that. Best of luck to you and the other person as well.

    Grats on quitting!

    Oh don't worry... the whole DH team got about a month advance warning that I'm going to be even more unbearable.

    emlaeh, I love that you are so active in the comment sections. We don't get a lot of you on the actual podcast, so its nice to see you in the comments representing the DH team.

    Good luck to all of you quitting.

    In the vein of the "Rancor with BH jetback" sort of thing... I'd love to see a Jawa with rebreather and red lightsaber... or a purple saberstaff... hell... they already have the eyes and robes man... just give em the lightsaber... Uteeni !!!

    what are your thoughts after reading this thread? (cross faction companion) :

    Nice catch. I hope they aren't the same droid. Having cross faction companions would hurt replay value for me. Maybe not for everyone, but for me it would personally.

    Good to know I am not the only one who thinks it would be cool to see a TOR commercial during the Super Bowl. :)
  • #25 emlaeh
    Superbowl ads are all sold out, and I don't see EA or any related companies on the preliminary advertiser list at AdAge, but who knows?

    :30s sold for about $3M.
  • #31 CornbreadChrist
    Totally. There's going to be a TOR trailer during the Super Bowl. It's either going to be a compilation of the last two Blur Trailers, or it's going to be a totally new, awesome, epic trailer. I think this is closer to probable than improbable in my view. Why spend all this money on the most expensive video game ever and not market it properly? ESPECIALLY when it's Star Wars.
  • #18 ArcherAvatar
    It was awesome to hear Steve's thoughts on a couple of topics and get a feel for where he's coming from as an artist and social commentator... really looking forward to enjoying his work on the DH site.

    Final Fantasy 7800? We won't get there for another 6 or 7 years. And it should be written:

    FFMMMMMMMDCCC
    or _
    FFVMMDCCC

    The Bounty Hunter had a Diplomacy score at 80/400 on the screen shot. Not even close to maxed out, and we don't know what length mission was. I don't mind it to touch up to max dark / light, or to move it more Gray, just don't want full swings to be possible.

    They need something like a /flourish that causes the character to do the old KOTOR light saber twirl.

    Look for to listening to this for my opening shift. RGB color reference FTW

    i love the idea of having the companions gather and craft so it takes away the grindy feeling. i doubt im alone in hating having to take two hours out of my day fishing or running around a zone trying to find a certain flower or whatever resource it was. yet im one that enjoys crafting so it almost seems we're getting the best of both worlds here with this system.
