What's So Special About This Blog?

First a little about myself, I'm not a gamer.  Yes I have played video games in my youth and I still do but I'm not a gamer.  You start talking to me using all the gaming lingo and I'm tilting my head to the right and staring at you.  At this point you are talking to me in a foreign language.  O.k. so I'm not that bad I do understand some of what I'm doing and I'm learning more and more.

The first MMO (massively multiplayer online) game I got into was World of Warcraft, known to gamers as WOW.  WOW was good in teaching me things like how to get around, reading my map, character stats, etc.  It was a good basic game and I enjoyed playing it.  I actually played it up until my WOW buddy had to quit the game.  I tried playing on my own but I found it rather boring.  I gave up on MMOs until I saw a game based on Star Wars.

I am an avid Star Wars fan.  I saw A New Hope in the theaters when I was 8 years old.  My father took me to see it.  The action on the screen had me entranced.  This was the best movie ever in my 8 year old mine.  (Even in my 47 year old mind this is still one of the best movies ever)  So when I heard about the game I wanted to play it but I was afraid playing alone would get me bored and I'd just stop.  For the longest time, I just put the game out of my head.

So in 2015, I'm talking to someone, in another game I play, and we both have a love of Star Wars.  I mention the game and then I take a big leap.  I ask him if he would play the game with me.  Immediately, he tells me he'd love to play with me.  He hasn't been in game with someone in quite sometime and it's certainly more fun playing with someone then alone.  A sigh of relief comes from me and I now have a gaming buddy.

That's how I got started in SWTOR (Star Wars the Old Republic).  So why did I start a blog?  Partly because of my friend.  We're always laughing in the game.  Our biggest laugh is when I see a female character with an absolute great outfit on.  I always say, "Why can't I have that?"  I don't think I can make a blog that's all fashion though.  This one will cover, fashion, game tips for non-hardcore gamers, things we laugh at, and storylines.  That gives you a bit of a hint of what I'd like to accomplish here.  I hope you enjoy reading my blog.  If you do write me a comment or two, please.
