Geek Blog – Star Wars The Old Republic E3 Trailer Gives Me “Hope”
/drool
My understanding of this game is that it isn’t a “traditional” MMO such as EverQuest or WoW, but rather a single-player game, wrapped in a massive, multiplayer universe. You drive your own storyline by choosing dialogue options a la Mass Effect (another Bioware marvel) and can play the same class twice with vastly different effects.
Group up with others and as you interact with NPCs, you also influence your partner’s (or party’s) storyline.
Finally we get to see a Jedi in action!

Geek Blog – WoW Players Have RLs Too
Awesome entry into the “4-day Film” Category at the Darklight Film Festival. That means this beauty was filmed, FX’d and comp’d within a 4-day span. Not sure how I’d react to a Tauren in the elevator.

Geek Blog – WoW Chicks Music Video
I should admit this up front: I’m a dude who has a chick avatar in WoW. Mysstress is just that, a mistress to my main: an undead, male, mage. I figured I made my first toon into a rough characterization of myself but wanted the next character (whom I’d inevitably watch for hours upon hours during the journey to level 80) to at least be decent to look at. As a horde player, that left me with very limited options (Troll Chick, Cow Chick, Rotting Chick, or Blood Elf Chick). My decision was almost made for me (and if I used audio very often while playing, I may have chosen to move to Alliance) and although I can’t stand the valley girl emotes, Mysstress was born (on Hyjal, BTW).
The following video purports that dudes play as chicks to get the lootz. I think there are far more sexier reasons than just in-game gear. Enjoy the dancing pixels. Who pays (in game) for an (ingame) lapdance? Thanks, YumfriesWOW.

Geek Blog – Dork Anthem
LOL. Should be the Geek Anthem. Very well written. “I was first in line to buy Halo 3/On Friday nights I play D&D.”
I love it! Check out more of Dave and Brian’s stuff on the iTunes store.

Geek Blog – Yeah, I Like WoW
This song has been making the inter-meme rounds lately and I found a WoW-related one that is pretty darn decent.

I’m not sure what it is exactly that makes geeky girls few and far between. I lucked out with the Geek Wife (who is pure AWESOME, btw). They say the geek will inherit the earth, and from the following videos, I’d almost believe it. Yet… I still know quite a few geeks who haven’t experienced the bliss that is female geek (or gamergirl, or whatever you want to call it) 
BTW: if you like what you see/hear, help support the girl geeks!

Geek Blog – Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer released
On June 1st, LucasArts and BioWare released the first cinematic trailer for the new MMORPG, Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR). As a MMOPogger (Em-em-o-pogger) who cut his teeth on Star Wars: Galaxies, I’m excited to see the cinematic footage and eager in my anticipation of a Star Wars storyline occurring during the era of the Old Republic. Granted, I ditched my SWG account for the more playable (at the time) World of Warcraft; however, my WoW character (Circoenn, on Hyjal shard) has lain mostly dormant since the release of Lich King — I might just try and dust off the old mouse and give something new a try.
Admittedly, I haven’t followed the buzz on SWTOR very closely because of my experience with SWG and my apparent abandonment of WoW. That being said, the SWTOR trailer actually got my heart racing. Aside from the KotOR games, I don’t have much knowledge of the Old Republic days and would welcome a run through that galaxy far far away in a time long ago.
Without any further ado, check out the trailer:
