Maybe at E3 when I am really punchy ;).

Just from a tech stand-point XP doesn't have a large amount because of two reasons.
1. XP is old and antiquated in graphical interface.
2. XP is no longer supported by Microsoft and all sales and usage of XP onto new units is illegal unless your are a major partner of Microsoft and you have worked out another deal.

Sleeper is in charge of making sure I drink at least four coffees before 9a during E3.

Someone else needs to remind me to eat though...

I must introduce you to Xyience black cans... Love the stuff! Sugar Free and Calorie Free, you will need to be smoking while you drink it to stop the caffeine overload.
 
Comment by ArcherAvatar made on June 8th, 2010 at 4:48pm
one apple has roughly the same effect as 2 coffees in terms of "waking up" a person... Gala and Golden Delicious are my personal favorites.
 
Comment by Xavier made on June 9th, 2010 at 12:04am
Gala are the only apples I eat now. I'm addicted to them.

For the caller who talked about the Teneb waking on the ship I came to the same conclusion as you when I first saw it. I didn't make a thread just post that's buried in all of the space talk on the swtor forums. I did however make a forum post about it on the Darth Hater forums for all who are interested in space speculation.

Good podcast! Looking forward to Darth Hater's E3 coverage!

Great show guys! Can't wait for E3
 
Comment by chronium made on June 8th, 2010 at 8:06am
My choice race would be a droid, that is if they let us pick droids.
 
Comment by Bzrk made on June 8th, 2010 at 8:31am
I hope you're not serious....are you? This has been an ongoing debate which apparently died a slow death on the official forums. A droid is not a race. Or else we could play a Droid Sith Warrior or a Droid Smuggler.
 
Comment by chronium made on June 8th, 2010 at 8:54am
It didn't die people just got bored arguing in circles. Droids are a race and Duh you can't pick the force classes for a Droid.
 
Comment by Bzrk made on June 8th, 2010 at 9:51am
Well, unless you can find clues on droids being more than companions and helpers, I'm pretty sure none will be playable. And still, a droid doesn't clear it as a race in my opinion. A race is a living being, not a machine.

Guess we'll be arguing in circles on this one to...
 
Comment by chronium made on June 8th, 2010 at 10:12am
Well accepting droids as a species is really a philosophical discussion on where you draw the line to what is life. To me an AI that can make decisions beyond it's programming is alive.
 
Comment by Evel made on June 8th, 2010 at 10:50am
I don't think Droids fit into the "Humanoid" scheme that BioWare already said the species were. Furthermore, BioWare stated that the reason they stuck with humanoids is for the "romantic relationships" that can be established, which make it pretty difficult for "humanoid" & droid relations. Well some may find mechanical devices acceptable, but this is a PG-13 game after all ;)
 
Comment by chronium made on June 8th, 2010 at 11:05am
There are lots of droids in TOR that fit the humanoid build and as for gear they would probably use the items already made for companions but regular gear wouldn't be that unusable really even though I don't think they would use it.

As for romance arcs it's not a uncommon subject in entertainment to delve into that subject there's Bicentennial Man with Robin Williams and AI with Haley Joel Osment just to name a few and don't get me started on Japanese stuff.
 
Comment by Bzrk made on June 8th, 2010 at 11:40am
Hehe, you really want those droids ey.
 
Comment by chronium made on June 8th, 2010 at 11:40am
I sure do :D
 
Comment by adipokerface made on June 8th, 2010 at 2:06pm
I suppose there have been droid bounty hunters.. Still i doubt they'll be playable.
 
Comment by chronium made on June 8th, 2010 at 4:46pm
If you think about it R2D2 is a smuggler. He smuggles messages and he's a wisecracking smooth talker. :D There are probably other examples but those were just off the top of my head.
 
Comment by Bzrk made on June 9th, 2010 at 5:27am
Omg, now you're pushing it.

R2D2 is a programmed mechanic. Don't even try to stretch it to the Smuggler class just because you want droids to be a playable 'race'.
 
Comment by ArcherAvatar made on June 8th, 2010 at 7:14am
regarding playable species - I think a Togruta or Chagrian Sith would be cool looking (since it doesn't sound like Jawa will be an option /sigh) (JSI FTW ! )

Really looking forward to your coverage of E3 folks. Safe travels, and may the Force be with you at the Con.
 
Comment by Posiden made on June 8th, 2010 at 5:44am
I can't imagine my JC as any other race but Togruta. So if Togruta aren't playable I will be joining Sado on the picket line. Good to see you guys will have ample E3 coverage, should be a fun three days.
 
Comment by JediCosmin made on June 8th, 2010 at 5:06am
Btw, the Priest shoulder pads were better because we had wings :P
Great podcast.
 
Comment by Korrick made on June 8th, 2010 at 5:36am
Warlocks had wings too

Comment by Posiden made on June 8th, 2010 at 5:51am
Spent 3 years as a mage watching warlocks get amazing shoulder pieces. While mine made me look like a fairy. Sigh.
 
Comment by JediCosmin made on June 8th, 2010 at 6:58am
Be thankfull you weren't a pink power ranger like the paladins ;)
 
Comment by Caliber made on June 8th, 2010 at 10:04am
Druids looked like trees long before they ever got tree form...
 
Comment by Bzrk made on June 8th, 2010 at 4:54am
A Ro-dean? A Rodian guys. It's has an I in it. Anyway, good cast again :)

My choice for a species would be a Mon Calamari for my Jedi. Problem is, that my first classchoice won't be even near a Jedi. Hoping the Trooper has some nice species.
 
Comment by RogueJedi86 made on June 8th, 2010 at 4:30pm
I pronounce it "Ro-dee-un", don't you? And Twi'lek as "twi-leck", but "twee-leck" is also fine.

Comment by sado made on June 8th, 2010 at 11:29am
Don't you know, we're pros at pro-nunciation. ;)

Still stands that I will picket BioWare and LucasArts if Rodians aren't playable =P
 
Comment by Bzrk made on June 8th, 2010 at 11:39am
Hehe, I was fully aware of that. Still wanted to point it out though ;)

And I agree. Rodians should be playable.
 
Comment by Jaswar made on June 8th, 2010 at 4:02am
Sleeper ....are you not choosing The Bounty Hunter Class when TOR is finally released? After watching the combat video.... I highly recommend a few 40 min Sleep Induced Darts ( S.I.D. for short ) that would w/out warning,, knock out your roomates (major hangover follows unfortunately), so that you may turn on your air conditioning unit and be cool, comfortable, and relaxed for your upcomming summer podcasts? I truly believe that would do the trick. Would it not be awesum, to be in a room that's a comfortable 70 degrees.....

I'm livin' in Las Vegas man, and let me tell you, its HOT!! VERY HOT here...

But thank god my family is for some odd reason sleeping very comfortably LOL( major hangover follows unfortunately)

Yeah Sleeper and myself are planning on playing Bounty Hunter at launch.

Same here. BH for the win

Starcraft that made me lol
 
Comment by Xayl1 made on June 8th, 2010 at 12:51am
in Response to the voicemail guy I did notice that and I thought the fact that they made a poitn of showing his ship was also suspicious

Good stuff! Grabbing it now for the ride to work tomorrow!
