Technology has allowed for vast improvements for those who enjoy playing video games and has opened up the element of streaming. The realistic graphics have allowed content creators to unlock new ways to engage audiences. Some have even thrown it back to playing college football games. Unfortunately, there haven’t been newly produced college sports games, which allowed some to make college basketball picks based on simulations. Or at least it was a fun way to preview games in the past. Sports games are incredibly popular, especially when those sports are in season and the content plans are still active and building toward their climax. Then some games are at their peak on release dates and the weeks following. Playing video games sure has come a long way from the Sega Genesis, the original Nintendo, and even the Pong days with one ball passing back and forth between two vertical bars…

SWTOR Meets Power Rangers
We like to talk about gear around here. In MMORPGs, gear is often a big part of the experience and we all know how some games (SWTOR not excluded) have really goofed with some of their gear and item sets. Sometimes we think we’re getting something awesome and it ends up looking so ridiculous, you laugh at your own character while playing. But speaking of SWTOR gear, it seems many have noticed how closely a certain gear set resembles Power Rangers. If someone’s shouting “Might Morphin’ Power Rangers!” at you wearing this, then this could be why. Here we have a black Power Ranger: And of course, the White Ranger: Someone even put together a full album of all the different colors. Check it out! It’s actually pretty funny when you think about it, especially seeing all those dyed colors. Do you have any gear sets that remind you of…
Last Chance to Get Great SWTOR Gear from JINX
We told you about awesome SWTOR t-shirts from JINX back when they first came out with them. They also have some other cool stuff like keychains and stickers/decals. But sadly, they won’t be carrying these items any longer and once an items goes out of stock, it’s gone forever. They’ve having a massive sellout sale just in time for the holidays and you can get your favorites at some pretty rocking prices. I found a t-shirt I wanted at only $9.99. And if you’ve never had a JINX shirt before, they are really high quality. The images stay on after many washes and they are soft and comfortable to wear so you’re getting good quality. See the entire Star Wars Collection here. One longtime favorite has been the Frog-Dogs and Rottworms Huttball T-shirts. They have men’s tees and women’s tees and they also have some cool hats.

TOR TV: How to gear an alt fast
Youtube heltidsluffare made an interesting video showing how he geared his latest alt in SWTOR. The same day as he got level 50 he was fully geared to do anything. Personally I can definitely foresee some people really appreciating this video. However… 1.4 made his weapon choice much easier! You can use the ranked warzone commendations to get a war hero lightsaber immediately at 50 instead of down-ranking them to buy the battlemaster lightsaber. You get a better product, and you pay less. I know you made your plans before the patch, but it is such a significant change that players today need to be aware of. Still a great watch.

SWTOR Endgame Gearing Guide for Empire Players
One of the biggest questions gamers have when they reach level 50- the maximum level- is what to do next. How do you get geared up? What is there to do in endgame? SWTOR is still a new game so there is not a lot of advice or “common knowledge” in the gaming community yet about what to do. In fact, many players are leveling to the cap and then stopping because they don’t know what to do next or there are not enough people playing to do anything with. But you can bet that as the game has been out longer and more and more players get into it and reach the level cap, there will be more gamers to play with. So you can start right now getting geared up so you’re ready to go and you will be a few steps ahead of others, giving you an…
Update on End-game Gear and Customization
Have you made it to 50 yet? Are you happy with the end-game gear and customization options in SWTOR? If you’re not, then you’re not alone. Many players have already expressed that they are not real happy with the gear and the customization options that are available post-50. Some people think the end game armor sets that BioWare has designed are ugly and then other people just don’t like the idea of BioWare being the one to decide what their end-game gear will look like or the idea that they will look just like every other player of their class. Some people just want more customization and more options. So BioWare has given an answer to these please and complaints. Here is the full write-up from the SWTOR official forums: “The current situation with end game gear and item modifications isn’t final and, in fact, many community members like yourself…

Gear swapping in mid-combat? – No Says Georg Zoeller
While many MMOs have gear-swapping or weapon-swapping in combat, Georg Zoeller says that SWTOR will not. This has some fans unhappy but Zoeller explains the reasoning behind it: “Switching weapons to maximize stats is not the kind of gameplay we want to encourage. It’s tedious and not fun for the overwhelming majority of players, and since some players would feel compelled to engage in the behavior if it offered a benefit, regardless how tedious and unfun it was, we just disallow it, period.” Some are worried about what would happen if say, you were caught in combat without a weapon. Zoeller answers this as well: “It’s pretty much impossible to not have a weapon equipped. You’d have to work for that. Sure, you can unequip a weapon and not equip a new one, but there’s no compelling reason to do so .. even less outside in the wilderness…
