Blog # 13 - Why the "READ ME SECOND" thread matters

Blog # 13 - Why the "READ ME SECOND" thread matters

Folks using the TSLRCM mod - or TSLRCM with M4-78 EP - may wonder why they have to post the questions and answers from the READ ME SECOND thread when reporting a bug.   Simply put: Speed of response.   Many of the "bugs" reported have been narrowed down to those few questions. If the modders receive the answers to those questions, it's going to save them a lot of time (both yours and theirs) asking what will likely be on that list. And we all know, you want to get back to pla

Blog #44 - R.I.P. John Hurt

Whether it was Alien, V for Vendetta, Spaceballs, 1984, I, Claudius or Helloby, John Hurt graced so many movies and TV appearances it hard to pic a few. Alas, John Hurt passed away today.   Here's a brief look at some of the man's work.   John Hurt, you will be missed. RIP.

Blog #22 - Jedi Holocrons

The Jedi Holocron as produced by "Uncle Milton Star Wars Science" is described in its ad copy by the following:       So it's a trivia game for kids. I get that. But where's the science part of it? In the "poster" that comes with it.     Eeek. If this really basic information is what they are passing off as "science", our society is doomed.   PS: I do appreciate the mention of my namesake in the document.

Blog #6 - Rotating the Featured Download

Blog #6 - Rotating the Featured Download

March is approaching fast and I want to know which mod should be a Featured Download. The majority of the folks come here initially do so due to one of the larger mods. They may be missing out on the smaller mods that aren't as well known. I've always thought that the site should pick gems out of the downloads here and promote them.   This is where you come in!   PM me your pick for a mod to appear in the "Featured Download" spotlight. I'll also need to know the reason that y

Blog #68 - Order of the Flashpoints

Blog #68 - Order of the Flashpoints

I have mentioned in this blog that I've turned my class quests into a "SWTOR Audio Drama" as it keeps my mind focused elsewhere when I'm on my treadmill. I've decided to fill in the blanks in the Audio Drama by including the Flashpoints. However . . . some Flashpoints require a full group and some of them are only available in Veteran Mode (formerly known as Tactical Mode) or Master Mode (formerly known as Hard Mode). With the change of the mode names and other issues, it's been a bit

Blog #66 - New Landing and Take-Off Videos for M4-78?

I asked tjsase if he could redo his M4-78 landing and take-off videos but using the skyboxes from Stoney's original mod but he might not be able to do it for time reasons. Anyone up to the challenge of something on the level of tjsase's video? I can provide sound effects and the music used during the landing sequences.

Blog #25 - Random Thought on HK-47's Eyes

I was looking at headlights the other morning and wondered: Would the orange reflector pattern work well for HK-47's eyes?     I decided to alter Kainzorus Prime's reskin of Darth Parametric's new HK models. (Click on the pictures to see larger versions.)     I'm not sure that I got it right. ::shrugs::

Blog #9 - Do you have any M4-78 questions that are non-walkthrough related?

Blog #9 - Do you have any M4-78 questions that are non-walkthrough related?

In case any one is wondering, I am still working on that M4-78 documentary video series. I do have to wait for a few folks to send their comments in an audio form. One of the folks is at school and another has just got married so I must patient. You guys don't want to hear my voice all the way through the video as that would get old quick. (Ask my wife!)   While I wait for those audio submissions, I'll put this question to you: Do you have any M4-78 questions that are non-walkthrough r

Blog #16 - When Responding to a Big Update/Post . . .

Just say a modder has - after some period of time - posted a sizable update to one of his/her projects. Something like this . . .   In your excitement, you may have felt the need to quote the original poster's entire post. You don't need to do that because that modder's post is still in the thread. The readers don't need to read it twice.   However, if you wish to leave a comment on a particular part, then trim the quote down to that specific part. For example . . .

I'm making a Beatles playlist on my iPod. What are your favorite Beatles songs that don't usually appear on the compilations - and why should I include them?   Please note that I am drinking tonight. Woohoo!

Blog #43 - R.I.P. Miguel Ferrer

Miguel Ferrer passed away yesterday. Besides the minor connection to KotOR - him being the brother of Darth Malak's voice actor - you may remember him from many TV and movie appearances. However, most people will remember him in the role of Bob Morton, the creator of Robocop.   You will be missed.
