New Manaan Stronghold released for Star Wars: The Old Republic

I'm sure you know this already if you play Star Wars: The Old Republic, but the new Manaan stronghold came out today.  Located on the water planet of Manaan, the house can be expanded 4 times and features a stronghold hook (hint: target it from the upstairs) and a glass floor so you can watch the Firaxa swim by your house (about every ten minutes or so).

The new stronghold brings the total maximum of houses you can own to 6, but I'm still not sure if the Conquest bonus has been raised as well.  Pricing for the new stronghold:


  • Stronghold unlock: 2,500 CC or 2,500,000 Credits
  • Room 1 – Interior Expansion: 1,400 CC or 2,000,000 Credits
  • Room 2 – Rooftop Garden: 800 CC or 975,000 Credits
  • Room 3 – Deepwater Sanctuary (South): 1,150 CC or 1,450,000 Credits
  • Room 4 – Deepwater Sanctuary (North): 1,150 CC or 1,450,000 Credits


I have not purchased the house just yet (trying to decide if I want to use cartel coins or credits), but when I do, expect a picture post showing off the layout.  A lot of people feel it is too small, but I toured a few on The Ebon Hawk and I think the size is really perfect for the sixth house and the layout is what I expected from Manaan.  The corridors are all curved (you will have flashbacks to kicking kolto barrels, for sure) and the underwater rooms are really gorgeous.

If you are interested in trying out the game, feel free to use my referral link.  You get stuff, I get stuff, it's pretty cool.  If you are on The Ebon Hawk and want to teach me how to tank Tyth, leave a comment!

Review: Soulworker, or, Welcome to the Grind

Soulworker is an anime action brawler, created by Lion Games and published by GameForge.  Set in a post-apocalyptic purgatory, you play one of (currently) four young schoolchildren who fell from the real world into the world of Soulworker.  The tutorial gives you the setting, which varies slightly for each character, and then moves you to the first hub area.  From there, you begin questing so you can get gear so you can do harder quests for more gear and to progress the story, using energy every time you enter a quest area.  The combat is a lot of fun, but if you're unwilling to pay - the current in-game economy is beyond ridiculous, and the premium currency is wildly overpriced - the game gets very grindy. The characters are the different classes, and the character designs are all very charming, even if they go a bit far on the 'females are to be looked at' side.  There's Haru, a broadsword wielding pre-med student who is apparently allergic to things coveri...

Gen Con 2017 Badges almost all sold out

Gen Con turns 50 this year, and it looks like everygamer wants to go and celebrate.  4-Day badges are already sold out (yay for press passes!), Saturday badges are almost sold out, and a limited quantity of single day badges for all 4 days are still available. At this point, there will be no on-site badges sold at Gen Con 50.  There will be a Will Call... and I will get there early to get mine.  Bring water and a fully charged phone or a book if you are going to stand in Will Call.

Not dead....

I have a stack of articles to write up, mostly from Gen Con, and a full mailbox to go through of new things to write about. I also have some kind of horrible lung infection!  I refuse to say pneumonia.  I miss having health insurance. Oh well, hopefully I can get something done soon.
