The Age-Old Question

by Noah

I have a confession to make. It’s not the most exciting or embarrassing revelation, but it rings true on this forum. My problem: I know $%^&-all about computers. I mean, I’ve learned enough to keep things running and delete my porn history (sorry for how long that took me to figure out, dad), but the actual riddle of the hardware is beyond me. That little system requirements box means I’ve gotta take notes in the middle of Best Buy to figure out whether or not I can run something – usually I leave it up to my more technically competent friends to give me the final word. And thanks to my luddite anxiety, I’ve failed to keep my PC running up to speed. By my calculations, the PC I’m working on right now is just over 7 years old. My computer’s so old – how old is it, Noah? – it’s so old that every time I boot it up it tells me to get a haircut and sits me down to talk about the war. My computer’s so old that I’m pretty sure it won’t even be able to run SW:TOR.

Episode 33: What Were You Doing When…

Sep 262011

Just in time for Santa

It’s the release date episode! We each recount our stories of where we were and how we found out, as people do for significant events such as the JFK assassination or the Space Shuttle tragedy. Wildly inappropriate.

A look at a few guild archetypes you will most likely see in Star Wars: The Old Republic

by Noah (@RockstarNoah on Twitter)

Historically speaking, RPGs have never been much of a social activity. You could feasibly make a weekend out of inviting the guys over to hang out, have some beers and play some Halo. I don’t think anyone would have nearly as fun a weekend if we did the same thing with Dragon Quest. Considering the narrative and gameplay constructs of traditional RPGs, it would be like inviting someone over to read a book with you. RPGs are a solitary past time, they’re generally meant to be a single-player experience. Unless I can toss a friend a controller and ask if they want to join in, I feel rude playing a game in a social situation. Continue reading »

KOTOR: Recovering From Disappointment

[Editor’s note: Today we welcome Noah to our growing writing team at CRR. His first piece is a look back at the highs and lows and highs of growing up with Star Wars, with a particular emphasis on the redemptive power of Knights of the Old Republic.]

Star Wars is one of the things in my life that I am completely unable to remain unbiased towards, in my mind it’s beyond reproach. The original trilogy is scripture to me. Few things have dominated my development like Star Wars; it maintains a holy position on my shelf of childhood obsessions.
