I Have No Idea What I Just Watched… But I Liked It! Actually I do know what I watched. This is a parody of a scene from Anchor man. This is it’s one of my all time favorite movies. It was directed by Adam McKay and starring Will Ferrell. The film, which was also written by Ferrell and McKay, is a tongue-in-cheek take on the culture of the 1970s, particularly the new Action News format. It portrays a San Diego TV station where Ferrell’s title character clashes with his new female counterpart. This film is number 100 on Bravo’s 100 funniest movies, and 113 on Empire’s 500 Greatest Movies of All Time. Anyways… Let the movie speak for it self. If you don’t know were it’s from. check this out.

SWTOR Trooper Vanguard Leveling Build 2.0
In this post we have another build from Swtorsavior.com and this time we are focusing on the Trooper and the Vanguard advanced class that makes an excellent tank! A SWTOR Vanguard is one tough SOB. His main purpose is to soak up damage and dish it back out. The SWTOR Vanguard makes an awesome tank because he has a nice mix of single target and AOE attacks to help him keep aggro on multiple mobs. His primary stats are Aim for offense (threat) and Endurance for Defense (health pool), along with Defense Rating, Shield Rating and Absorption Rating. These are super important because you will be taking the most direct hits of anyone in your party so you need the health pool to stay alive and you need the mitigating stats to reduce the number of hits you take and the amount of damage they do when you are hit. So don’t just…

Game update 2.1 will happen next week on May 14th, and Game update 2.2 will happen the same time as E3 starts on june 11th. Not sure if we should put anything in that. Check out the forum post on the official website or below: 2.1 page update. Is this all? Nothing there for subscribers? | 05.07.2013, 07:44 AM Hey everyone, I wanted to specifically address the concern of “what is a subscriber getting in an all Cartel Market update?” Game Update 2.1 brings a whole lot of customization and convenience features to the game which have been requested for quite some time, such as character name changes etc. As we have stated in the past, we always design systems like this knowing that subscribers will be receiving Cartel Coins each month, and certainly…

TOR TV: He-Man (SWTOR Edition)
Youtube user ResidentPenguin made this genius Star Wars: The old republic / He-man mash up. The reason I love this stuff might be due to me owning almost as many He-Man action figures as Star Wars toys when I was a kid. If you are to young to remember He-Man, Here is a short history lesson: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe originated as an action figure collection from Mattel. The line was selling so well, Mattel asked the Filmation company to broaden the toy advertisements into a fully-animated series. That series came to become one of the most popular and recognized cartoon series of the 80s eventually spawning more lines of figures, several more series, three animated films, a live-action film, and a sister series (pun intended) geared towards girl called She Ra: Princess of Power. The epic storyline goes a little like this: Long ago in the Kingdom…

The Old Republic Insider – April 2013
BioWare’s Cory Butler is host of this months Star Wars: The old republic insider. Mr Butler goes through all the upcoming things coming to the game in near future, including barber shop, new items on the cartel shop and the Cathar spices. Check it out below:
BioWare post the second peace of the Cathar puzzle
BioWare just updated there facebook page with a new pieces in the Carthar puzzle. BioWare are excellent in teasing us with this kind of stuff, and I can’t wait to here what will be going on. Check out the image below or over at the official Facebook page.
SWTOR Facebook Tease, Cathar are Coming!
BioWare updated there Facebook page with a new image. We are not supposed to fully understand what it is yet, but it’s already obvious it’s a picture of the Carhar species. It’s not known yet how the Carthar Species will be unlocked, but many people are speculating that it will be via quest like HK-51 got unlocked, or maybe via reputation. Pretty sure it will be available on the Cartel market at some point also. Many people are questioning why this Species is so important to the Old republic lore. The story is that the Cathar played a very important role in ending the Mandalorian wars and are being hunted into extinction because of it. Their entire struggle is based of the plight of an old religious sect the spanish inquisition hunted to extinction. One of the most moving scenes in the entire expanded universe to me was when Revan was on their homeworld (in the kotor comic series) and…

Jason Barnett is live with a new Star wars the old republic parody. This parody of “Ridin” by Chamillionaire addresses his thoughts on both the scoundrel roll and people’s opinions about it, ranging from overpowered, to being the utility that scoundrels have always needed.

Jawas, Wookies, Droids and More: Who’s Your Sidekick of Choice?
There are plenty of companions to choose from in SWTOR, five total for each class, adding up to 40 if you’re counting them all together. While playing through the game on my Bounty Hunter, we have come to the conclusion that Blizz is by far the best companion for a number of reasons. The Star Wars: The Old Republic companions come in many shapes and sizes, all with unique personalities. All three of these play into Blizz being a great companion, due to his comically small size and shape, coupled with his thoroughly enjoyable temperament. First of all, he is the only available Jawa companion, so +1 for that. Of course since he is a Jawa, he is rather small, which in this particular instance makes for a rather humorous contrast when he is standing next to a towering behemoth of a Cyborg bounty hunter. In addition to the visually…
