AT-AT's are based on elephants.

     This is just too funny.

     Here are some pictures from a Card Assault game that I used for a video.

     Card Assault is a fun, but annoying game.  I love to play, but I hate to lose.  A lot of people now have some real tricky cards which I can't stand.  I'll have to get those cards so that I can do the same to them as they have done to me.

     Anyway, while I'm thinking about it, the chat box on Clone Wars Adventures is atrocious.  They have done a good job of slaughtering the English language.  I can understand editing out the swear words.  Numbers have to be banned because of credit card fraud possibilities.  But there are lots of common household words I can't say at all, and it sucks. 
     For example, you can't say 'sucks'.  It just comes out as '*****'.  That really sucks.

     I did not buy the 'Festive Taun Taun'.  Maybe I should have.  He is so dang cute.

     Hello.  It has been a while since I wrote on this blog.  On Clone Wars, I've been busy playing Card Assault tournaments, trying to win booster packs.  It ain't easy.
     Anyway, here are some pictures of my new Coruscant Luxury Chamber Apartment.  I made a video using these pictures.  If am not too lazy, I will put that up, too...

There is the link to the video.

     So, what happened is I was playing Star Wars Galaxies from time to time.  It was a little bit tedious.  The Clone Wars came out, and I said, "Hey, this game isn't as extensive, but it is a lot more fun!"  So then Galaxies died, and I've been playing Clone Wars ever since.  I like the mini-games, and building stuff.
     Anyway, see you on the game.

     Lots of weird things goes on in Clone Wars Adventures.
     Ranulph Raildueler asked me if he could try out my account, because he wanted to see what it was like to ride my mount.
     I can't tell you enough about how I hate this kid just for asking me.  It's so rude, and it is clearly against Sony policy to solicit people for account information.
     Sony is also very against profanity, harassment of any kind, bullying, and manipulation of the game against its' programming.  They also don't like it if you bypass the chat filter in order to swear.  Sony has already slaughtered the English language with their chat box, which is against my policy.  I don't like anybody to edit me.
     Anyway, Clone Wars Adventures is a cute game.  I like the sound of the footsteps when I walk.  I am addicted to that sound.  It makes it feel real, like I am there.
     My friend Vann got banned from the game for a week.  I hope he gets his character back.
     Sony must be pretty busy banning and suspending people.  Most of the people on the game at one point or another calls somebody else a name, or gets into an argument about something.  It is all part of the fun.
     The problem with the game is it costs money to play, and some kids just don't have the money, which is sad.  It becomes a game of 'the haves' vs. 'the have-nots', just like in real life.  Fortunately, for me, I am one of 'the haves'.  I can buy anything I want in the game.  I wish I could do that in real life, but I am a 'have-not' there.  I'm working on fixing that, but it is taking longer than expected.

     The main thing in the game is to have fun, and if it isn't fun, you should log off.

     Also, it is always good to have a back-up character, unless something goes wrong.  Someday, I'd like to have a couple of characters that are lifetime members.  That would be fun.  I wouldn't mind having a girl character, and to buy all the special outfits for girls.  That would be fun.  Then guys would try and pick up on me, and then I could kick their ass in lightsaber duel, lol.  I've done that before, it is fun.  Guys hate to lose to girls, haha.

     Anyway, I am building 'The Death Star Playset' in the game.  It's taking a hell of a long time to build.  I will make a video of it when I am done.

Dirk Wampaflash44 is a member

     Well, I bought a $15 game card today, and I made Dirk Wampaflash44 a member for one month.  We'll see how it goes.
     I enjoyed getting onto the game today, and hanging out.  It was fun.
     Clone Wars Adventures is definitely a fun game, but then I got stuck with building stuff, and being trapped on an alien planet...and all that.
     It's good to take a break from video games, and then come back to them.
     It was good to see some people I haven't seen in a while.

Dirk Wampaflash44: A New Beginning

     I created a new Dirk clone called 'Dirk Wampaflash44'.  It took days for his name change to go into effect.

     I am at the cafe, so I can't play Clone Wars right now.  It's a shame.  I wish I could.  The internet at the cafe isn't fast enough, and this 2002 laptop doesn't have the graphics capabilities for Clone Wars.

     My internet is down at home for a day or two, but it's been okay.  I needed to update my laptop anyhow.

     So, it all started because for some reason, I couldn't access my Sony account anymore.  I don't know what happened.  I've been a member since 2002.  Maybe it was a credit card thing, or password confusion.  I'm still waiting for Sony to reply.  It takes them a while to respond, as you know.  In the meantime, I just have to wait.

     It is a whole long story why my internet doesn't work at home.  Basically, I was too lazy to pay my bill on time.  Ooops.

     Anyway, CWA is a fun game.  I'm kind of addicted to it.  I like how the characters feel when they walk.  I like the sound of the footsteps.  It feels like I am there.

     I still feel that it sucks  that the main area is just this small Jedi Temple area on Coruscant.  It gets so tedious to be there all the time.  I wish they would expand the area.  They could do it if they wanted to, but no, they won't.

     Anyway, I hope I get my original Dirk Wampaflash character back.  I pumped a lot of money into that guy.  If I can't get him back, then I will have to cough up the cash to turn the new Dirk into a member.
     There is one other thing...they used to sell Clone Wars cards at 7-11, but now they don't.  Wtf?  It used to be so convenient to be able to get cards there anytime I needed them.  Now I have to go to Best Buy, and deal with all of those people, which sucks.  Sigh, such a pain.

     So, that is my status.

     It is nice to be able to write freely, since the chat box on CWA sucks royal ass.
