Bolded some of the bits that I think are the changes that effect us most.  Slicing is no longer Money: the Skill, apparently.  And now the stakes in warzones are that much higher.

And oh, the pending bug should finally be solved.   Hopefully.

Ok, so, I am having a major hardware problem that I need some tech help with.

My computer, which I custom built using parts from newegg a few years back, is overheating and shutting down after about an hour of play.  The inside is clean of dust, and I've reapplied thermal paste to the processor fan.  No dice.

This computer has a history of doing this, but it's never been so bad, and SWTOR is hardly graphically intensive anyways.

I too my compy to Frys to be looked at, and the best that they could come up with was "Buy a new graphics card."

Legit advice?  is there another way that doesn't require me to drop a couple hundred down?

So, there this new MMO out.  Fairly standard Fantasy MMO, if you're familiar with WoW you'll be 80% of the way there. It's free, however, and so far the questing has proved to be a decently fun experience.

I've played a couple of character to level 20 or so (out of 70) and so far my only real complaint is lack of an ingame help channel (the global chat function requires you to use a consumable item every time you use it, presumably to cut down on spam).  Well, ok, and all the male models look like female, but that's asian-style art for ya.  I cope by rolling female chars.

So far I have

17 Human priest named Aliorn
22 Dwarf Marksman named Tristamin (yes, she was built to look like Tristana from LoL.  Yes, "Tristana", "Trist", and even "Tristy" were all already taken.)

Hit me up ingame and we'll do an instance or something!

Bit of old news, but I didn't see any posts on the subject:

Pretty nifty little simulator.  Fast zombies are a lot of fun to watch :-D

EDIT:  Hahaha, if you play the Westminster Cathedral map, you can interrupt the royal wedding.  Zombie Prince William already has over a dozen kills to his name.

Hi all!

What is this?  Some kind of story?

This is the first part of a writing project that started a couple of months back in an effort to iron out the details of what kind of organization, exactly, the Furious Angels are in Star Wars.  It's one part dramatic retelling, one part history, and one part C-3PO making explodey noises.  This is not necessarily how the final product will look, the main idea is to hammer out how exactly FA has interacted with the SW universe while making it at least somewhat entertaining to read.

Can can I help?

Absolutely!  This story belongs to all the Angels.  Feel free to make suggestions, write in-depth about events mentioned off-hand in the history, anything.  Just keep in mind that Tbone is the ultimate authority on what is or isn't FA "canon."

I want to talk to you about a suggestion, but I don't see you on teamspeak!

Even if I'm not on teamspeak, I'm usually on the forums.   Send me a PM and it *should* notify me.

Can I just PM you my writing?

If it's a side-story separate from the main history go ahead, just give  me a brief intro to what it is I'm looking at.  If it's editing/additions to the main history, please make the text of your changes in red so I can spot them easier.

Now, without further ado, the History itself.
