    Astros really aren't that far away from their last relevance. Weren't they in the WS just last decade? We're not talking forty years of darkness here.

    Problems at work

    My wife has been a restaurant manager for a long long time and I can speak with a certain level of authority that if it's getting into upper management, especially the CEO, then it's well beyond Grumpus. He's just ammunition in a larger fight. Likely HR and others have been gathering intel for a...

    I think it's funny. The most passionate guy on defense and the most passionate guy on offense are "having it out" on the sidelines. I'm sure the entire team is seconds from turning on each other. Any questions now about Romo and what he brings to the team? They better draft someone this...

    I played the long game on Inventory space a while back. Snatched up Account Inventory unlocks when people listed them for cheap. It's been a while so I don't remember exactly but a couple of times I got it for less than the 200k final row unlock. Now when I make a new toon I don't have to worry...

    In that context yes but individually it's not that big a deal. My Operative was broke when I started FE, by the time I finished I had over a million credits. Last year when Revan came out I had several toons around 100k, and by the end of that one I had well over a million each. I funded my...

    Expensive? You get 200k by sneezing in this game. Especially now that you don't have to buy abilities.

    Wife and I plowed through all but one of the Heroic Star Fortresses yesterday. I dig it. We've always two-manned all non-Op content so it was right up our alley. The first time was challenging since we went in without any real knowledge of what was going to happen but we got through it. On...

    I always tell people to sub. It's just not worth the headache to do so otherwise. You can get a free 7 days from using a referral link (and some goodies). That said, you can go through the game as F2P and it's supposed to be better now since they shaved off the need for all the bear-ass...

    There's a lot of achievements associated with the new Flashpoint. That one specifically requires you to run through with certain limitations. I expect things will get adjusted as far as the Companions go. Also, companion overload. They weren't kidding about wanting to expand the system and...

    Seconded. We bought a Lenovo laptop as a "working" laptop for home (my writing, wife's schoolwork) and the bloatware was just insane. Wiping it to a clean copy of Windows was just painful as hell and I still can't get the built in wifi to work, have to use a usb stub dongle for that.

    Into the final available chapter but not quite done, though it's obvious you're getting into a sort of interlude. Love the story. Cannot wait to go through and make a few different decisions with a different toon and see what happens. That and see different reactions on a few of the NPCs you run...

    They lost some of their good, cheap players through FA and were never going to be able to hold on to them since they had to pay Wilson and others. I'm with Ameraves, I don't think they're completely down and out but they certainly lost a step this year.

    Smuggler is solid. I would do Scoundrel though, for the invis. Just saves a lot of hassle and easy to invis up, go in a corner, and take care of something if you need to.

    Open up groupfinder. It'll let you know what you can queue up for. I think 50 is min now for Ops and you get boosted if you're less than max.

    If you get a chance to finish out that story (Dread Palace) then I would do so. Ops rotate in the group finder and unless you're on a server that is lifeless you should be able to get into something. Then just run through Revan, absorb that story, do the two Ops associated with it, and then...

    Assuming you last played when Makeb was relevant, your best bet would be to start a new toon to get your feet wet again, then shift back to the 52 once you get your bearings. They completely did away with skill trees and the only choice you really get is which active abilities you want affected...

    Not sure. There's specific elements of the class stories that get called out but I'm not sure how much it changes overall. I'm hearing from people who have done the story more than once that the choices do make a difference though.

    They did add a new Flashpoint but I haven't reached the point where it's available. I have zero to do tonight except make sure the kids get their homework done so I plan on finishing off the current story (just started ch.5 and there's 9 available) and seeing what that's all about.

    Eichel is looking damn good and the Sabres as a team just seem to have more life to them despite the 1-4 record. They're actually outshooting their opponents, which was something rarely said last year. Still a rebuilding year but damn if the future don't look bright.

    EV was self contained (as far as I can tell) but there's story connections to Dread Masters in the other 5 Ops prior to Revan (I'm pretty sure Karagga name drops "the masters" but it's been a while since I ran that so I dunno). Edit: Dulfy comes through ongear guide. 208 for basic gear. 216...

    HM Operations look like they drop 220 according to this: So "normal" purple gear is probably 212. I'm sure there's a vendor you run into after you get to the end of the current story that has some stuff you can buy.

    SWTOR

    It's a sub game with a F2P option, not the other way around. The F2P option is entirely built around getting you to sub. They have zero incentive to make it better. Anyway, digging the expansion even if it's basically what a single player MMO would be.

    Yeah, if you sub it's free. Umm, I think they said roughly an hour per chapter and currently 11 chapters with more to come early next year. We'll see. Edit: Apparently there's some issues with early access not properly opening up for some people even with proof of continuous sub. Doesn't help...

    The fact that a meteor didn't land on both teams disappoints me but if one team had to win I was actually rooting for Philly since this leaves the Cowboys still very much in the mix. I figure this might end up like that one year the Bengals went 6-0 in the division and walked into the playoffs...

    We use XML for data needed to run our front end.

    Dark Side trooper is kind of fun though, if just for the lulz of the reactions. I still maintain Inquisitor as the least relevant in the entire game. It's basically the poster child for why the Empire can't get shit done.
