Too much...drink.
/pats interest in the back.
I've been there buddy, =/ I still remember that hangover from the new year's eve party last year. DAMN that was a good one =D
But I can't handle alcohol as well as I used to.
(Getting old REALLY sucks T_T as it is I've started needing to use glasses for some stuff)
It's not booze.

Ya know, I really love the humor on the movie "Dogma" :P
For a movie about an angel sent to earth to give a mission to some woman, the angel has some truly awesome lines. (he's metatron BTW, the suposed "Voice of God")
here are just 2 lines.
Line 1:
Metatron: "I am to charge you with a holy crusade."
Bethany: "For the record, I work in an abortion clinic."
Metatron: "So what? Noah was a drunkard, and look what he accomplished!"
Line 2:
Metatron: Metatron acts as the voice of God. Any documented occasion when some yahoo claims that God has spoken to them, they're speaking to me... Or they're talking to themselves.
Bethany: Why doesn't God speak for himself?
Metatron: Human beings have neither the aural nor the psychological capacity to withstand the awesome power of God's true voice. Were you to hear it,
your mind would cave in and your heart would explode within your chest

/sighs......... we went through five Adams before we figured that one out =/

and guess what? IT WORKED OHHHH JO JO JO JO O JO JO JO JO JOJO
=D
I am a genius.
(here's how........ Warning, long wall-o-text ahead)
This game has a very flunky installation sequence. The actual installer weights like 30 Mb, (Unless you are one of those blessed with the installation DVDs) and it installs a micro SWTOR on your harddrive that weights like 80 mb
Now this Micro SWTOR will download the rest of the components of the game from the Bioware servers (Which is one of the dumbest ways I've ever seen to distribute a game, it takes FOR-FRIKING-EVER to install this stuff). It does it one component at a time. First file were the cinematics (1.5 Gb) then the Main Assets (11.5 GB) and then the secondary Assets (300mb)
It downloads a file, it installs it, then downloads the next, and so on. Since my PC randomly shuts down (Due to unknown reasons that no mortal has been able to figure out) this has considerably delayed the whole thing, if it shuts down during the download phase, nothing bad happens, I just switch it back on, and continue downloading. If it shuts down during the installation phase......... yeah that one is bad.
After downloading the movies, and main assets, and secondary assets my PC shutted itself down during the installation which corrupted the files. So..... I had to start all over, except I did it the smart way.
I noticed there were 2 new folders in the SWTOR instalation folder, one conveniently named Movies, and one conveniently named Assets. So, I backed up these folders, uninstalled SWTOR, installed the micro-version again, then copied these backups again. Ran the updater, and it goes like "Checking to see if you have the movies:.............. you do, now checking to see if you have the main assets.......... you do, lets continue then"
=D its ok to be intimidated by my genius. Most people are.
/flex.
anyhow, the game is downloading again where it left off. I just lost a day due to this damned hicup :S but I figure by next tuesday it should be ready (if not sooner, asuming another calamity doesn't happen because clearly the universe is doing everything it can to keep me away from this game.......... maybe I should take it as a sign and run away while I can? O_o)
(BTW, this will give you an idea of how stubborn I can be, that I spent 8 hours trying to figure out how to fix this without having to re-download 13 Gbs again. I just don't know when to let go xD)

@Rankorr, I didn't find it very odd tbh. I clicked install and it installed in a couple of hours. *shrug*
Glad you've got it back on track though. What class are you gonna make first?

you DO realize that its not the same if you have the installation disk (And if you are downloading it, what internet speed you got? because over here, at best (late at night) its 100kb per sec, and at worst (noon) its 10kb per sec.)
at THOSE abysmal speeds, its quite normal that downloading 27.000 Mb can take an eternity (Specially when you factor a PC that randomly shuts down for reasons no living man can discern T_T)
Glad you've got it back on track though. What class are you gonna make first?
that is a REALLY good question. I have no idea, THEY ARE ALL SO GOOD! >.<
the 2 highest ones that im intrigued about are Inquisitor and trooper (Specifically FEMALE trooper, as she's voiced by Jennifer Hale. AKA:Best voice actress EVER, and also voice of Female Shepard on Mass Effect)
It wont make much of a difference though, I can't "officially" join the game till at least christmass when I get the holyday bonus. For now I'm just joining in the free trial, that lasts about 7 days and only lets me get to lvl 15. So I intend to make them all. The order however is the tricky part.

All the petite lines are so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I love not being an amazon.
Men should have cute petite ranges too! But with a more manly title, oviously. Like dwarf! No, that's a medical condition. Um. Hobbits? I dunno. But yeah, it's not fair. D: I hate having to get almost every pair of jeans/trousers I buy turned up. :(
