My Fiftieth Post on This Blog

     Wow, I've made fifty of these posts?  Wow, I had no idea.

     Here's to fifty more.

     I am still exploring what to do on this blog.

     I want to watch the cartoon and animated series all over again, and that will give me ideas, as is just being more familiar with the content.

     The prequels aren't much help since they are so painful to watch, with all of the bad lines of dialogue, the lack of acting, and the omission of a real story.
    
     The cgi series keeps getting better and better, and I find it very watchable.  Basically, I like it.  I am looking forward to new episodes.

     My main goal is to cover all aspects of the 'Clone Wars Adventures' video game, though.

     Lately, I've been playing a lot of 'Card Assault'.  I am starting to get a little burned out on that game because of slow players making me wait.  It really sucks to lose on that game, I'll tell you that.  And some people win all the time, because they have better cards and decks.  It's war, and some of those kids really annoy the bleep out of me with their incessant talk in a chat box that barely allows English to be typed into.
      But I've met some nice people, too.

      To be honest, I can't get enough of Ahsoka.  I care about her as a fictional character.  Her life interests me.  I want to see what happens to her.
      I would imagine that she eventually dies before Episode IV.  She would have to, what with the Empire killing off all remaining Jedi.
     
      It almost seems incredible to me now that The Empire would never find Luke as a 'force-sensitive' child that they would automatically capture or kill, especially since he had the same name as the second-in-command of the entire Empire.  It is a story glitch that hurts my head.  Especially since he was on an 'Empire-controlled' planet, living near an Imperial controlled big city like Mos Eisley.

     I learned from 'Star Wars Galaxies' that the Imperial capitol of Tattooine is Mos Espa.  Pretty interesting, huh?  One could go there if you wanted to join The Empire.  However, there were terminals in all Empire-controlled cities to register to join the Empire if you wanted.  It was like 'Big Brother' at every corner.

     Anyway, I gotta go, talk to you guys later.  Thanks for the support, and I'll see you in-game.
     

Vann Blazebreaker's racing video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTeKU3xz9UU

I thought he did a good job on the video, splicing in music, and adding a duel with Yoda.
 
I've never seen anybody combine two 'video capture' videos together before.  I don't know how he did it.  Well, it isn't too hard for me to figure out, but it is the first time I've seen anybody do it.

Then there is the quality of the graphics he has filmed.  In addition, he races very well on this track.  I have enough lag on my computer because of various things that it affects my racing.  Vann races very well.

The funny thing is that during the Yoda battle, some kid sends a message saying, "I'm jumping.  I'm being eaten. lol."
      I emphasize with this because I have made countless videos with some kid chiming in with a random thought through chat.  It can't be helped, it just happens.  They always say something while you are filming, as if they know that you are trying to do something.

     Anyway, I need a nap....laters....

Jedi Knight Ana Zett

 
     I took these pictures because I thought she looked cool, and I liked her name.

     This hairstyle in Clone Wars, based off of Mon Mothma, I assume, always amuses me.

Mace Windu

     Mace Windu is one of my favorite characters.
    
     It is too bad they didn't do too much with him in the prequel movies.

     His character was left kind of undeveloped, and then they killed him off.

     Certainly they had the talent of Samuel L. Jackson to work with, but the writing on those films was not very good.

     Luckily, Mace is with us on the Cartoon Network show, where he can have more of an opportunity to shine.

     Let's face it.  A purple lightsaber is fierce.

      Clone armor is pretty cool looking.

      I wish I had some clone armor in real life.  Maybe I'll have to make some.

     In Clone Wars Adventures, you can stand next to fires and explosions, and not get hurt at all.

     Real war is a lot different. 

     The missions are fun to do on Felucia.
      It helps when you have people go with you.
      Otherwise, death is inevitable.

      Earning tokens to acquire gear is enjoyable.
      It gives you goals to work towards.

      As far as crafting goes, I've hit a wall with it.
      I am at a point where I can't seem to make progress.
      I go into 'Plans' and create more items.
      Then I go into 'Discovery', but I don't have enough components.
      So then I go hunting for more components, but it isn't always easy to get the rare stuff.
      I recommend hunting on all three battle zones, because some resources might be more available on some planets than others.
      Silver nanites cost ten credits each, and that is no problem to get enough of these to craft items.
      Gold nanites cost sc, and it is hard to know if investing in gold nanites are worth it.
      
      Crafting in CWA can get tedious, so it is best to do it in small bursts.




       I was a 'Star Wars Galaxies' player when CWA came out.  The funniest thing was that I had more fun playing Clone Wars than I did with SWG.

       At this point, I'm an everyday player of CWA. 
       I am completely addicted to the sound of the footsteps when I walk or run.  It feels solid to me.

       It is funny that the footstep sound doesn't change when you run on dirt.

Some Felucia Photos

      Here is the new Felucia helmet.

      I like to mix up the gear combinations, just for fun.

      The new Mission Terminal is actually a lot cooler than the one they had in Star Wars Galaxies.

      The General Grievious speeder is one of the best rides ever.  I wish I had one in real life.

      Felucia is a dangerous place.

 B2 Soldiers are nasty, and hard to kill.

      Rancor bone and crap pile.

 B8-CT8 Medical Droid.  He is a good companion.

      Being on alien worlds is what science fiction is all about.

     Moxin Adeptshock is my mortal enemy on Card Assault.  He always kills me with his General Grievious Droid deck, and it pisses me off.

Clone Wars Kid loses youtube account

Clone Wars Kid:           Dirk!  I lost my youtube account!
Dirk:                             What did you do?
CloneWars Kid:            I used copyrighted material and I was mean to people!
Dirk:                             Somebody probably complained about you.
Clone Wars Kid:           But it isn't fair!  I had over a hundred subscribers!
Dirk:                             It isn't my problem.  It looks like you will have to start
                                     a new youtube account, and maybe not be mean to people.
Clone Wars Kid:           If I do that, will you sub to me?
Dirk:                             You have a lot to learn, kid.  See you, I'm outta here.
