Day 2 Zissou's Tatooine Marketplace Cantina Stronghold in Star Wars The Old Republic - Post 2 of 5

Today's 11 pics include the place I spend most of the time in the stronghold. What I call the main room. Just behind the load in point it has gtn, all the bays, mailbox, and aug table.

-Main Room

As you enter you get a good look at gree sphere above the gtn. 

A few of the carbonite bounties on the wall. Vendor for selling junk.

Plants from Manaan and Rakata prime flashpoint relics, Hoverchair from maxing out Binary star rep from the packs, You can start to see the flashpoint posters on the wall too.

The rest of the flashpoint posters, Bacta tanks from flashpoints, and holo table from a pack.

On the left you can see the plants added from this most recent rak event. And another view of the gtn and vendor wall.

Seed of rage from gsi rep vendor on Nar Shad. Aug Table, and the personal, legacy, and guild banks.

-Illum Room

Taking the elevator down from the main room into the rest of the stronghold is a bit of an Illum themed room. Including the crystal in the middle from the battle of illum flashpoint.

A little display of all the Illum Gree event rep items.

Throne and Sith mantelpiece.

The droid pet lineup out beyond the marketplace(Which will be tomorrows focus) The flying droid pets in the background have pics that I will post in the days to come.

All the ground droids are in this front lineup. I'm slowly moving these guys to the Nar Shaddaa stronghold as other new items come in that fit well for the Tat themes I have going.

More tomorrow. On to the Marketplace. 

 Yesterday's Post - The Balcony, Cantina, and Voss Room

Day 1 Zissou's Tatooine Marketplace Cantina Stronghold in Star Wars The Old Republic - Post 1 of 5

Finally got around to taking screenshots of Zissou's Tatooine Marketplace Cantina Stronghold. My last post in Sept mentioned I still wanted to finish 100%

Over the last month and a half I did end up getting the cantina set and a good amount of other items from the gtn and packs off of the gtn. So many packs I hit Legend in Binary Star rep. And 100%ed the Tatooine Marketplace Cantina Stronghold.

As new items come in now I either pick up a mini ship or if it's themed to one of the other strongholds I take it to those ones. The halloween week items were placed in the DK house.

Anyways today I took screens all around the Tat house. 55 in total. Figured I should probably spread that out. Starting today with the Balcony, Cantina, and Voss Room.

You get a sneak peak at some of the other areas that will have close ups in the days to come.

-Balcony

Emperor Statue, Aquatic Sleen, and Mana-D5 Submersible from Manaan.

Bantha, Uxibeast, and Rakata Statue.

Door to main room.

The view looking down on the marketplace and rest of the stronghold.

Another view from the balcony.

And a 3rd View from the balcony.

First thing you see when you load into the stronghold. Hk and Treek collect the bounty on this hutt surrounded by skiffs, throne, and pets.

Star Wars The Old Republic Conquests Despair's 5th Conquest in 6 weeks

Despair has been moving through conquests pretty well. Our 5th victory in 6 weeks. We conquered 4 in a row before taking a off week. Along the way I made little collage pics that I've been sharing on instagram  It's been awhile since I made a post so thought i'd throw these up.

Speaking of. With the new Tv season here I've been talking my daughter about writing tv reviews. She's interested in becoming a writer and possibly involved in entertainment so these should be a good start. So far she's reviewing Gotham, Shield, and Red band society. We've set up a blog site of her own but i'll be posting those over here as well.

Anyways. I haven't got around to taking screens of the Tat house. It's getting close to done. Around 90% Still need a big starship, I was really trying to get the sandcrawler out of the last packs, still need to pick up the cantina set for a room I've set aside. Figure should post those up sometime in the next month but for now here are the collage conquest pics.

Week 1 - Voss

Week 2 - Corellia

Week 3 - CZ-198

Week 4 - Tatooine

Week 6 - Balmorra (Empire) 

On to the next one. :)

Gotham Pilot TV Review

       Hello everybody! Tonight was pretty epic. Gotham's first episode premiered and I loved it! Sadly because my local TV station sucks I missed the first couple minutes! Anyway when the show finally came on it was like- BAM! Bruce's (Young Batman is cute, right?) parents are dead which is something everybody has seen but we get to see the aftermath. Which includes Selina Kyle AKA Cat-woman witnessing Thomas and Martha Wayne 's death. Then we see Gotham's police station which like the city itself is very dark. Enter rookie James Gordon who ends up taking down a psycho while all the other fellow cops watch. 

     Gordon's corrupt partner Harvey Bullock congratulates him by taking him down to the Wayne's crime scene. There, Bruce meets James and they bond over their parents, then Alfred (who seems colder then Micheal Caine's version) comes to somewhat comfort Bruce. Bullock asks for another partner but Captain Essen says Gordon is a war hero and declines. James ignores Harvey's attempt to get him to transfer to a different station. "This is where the action is, you'll get used to me."  As you can see they are off to a great relationship. 

       Cut to loud soundtrack while taking down thugs. We get a call from Edward Nigma (AKA The Riddler before craziness happened) who is currently working in the department. Harvey remarks about how Edward is in need of professional help, how ironic! Finally we meet Fish Mooney and can I just say- I love her red tips. Adds to the whole controlling attitude very well. Who else loved Oswald Cobblepot as her assistant? I mean now that I'm thinking about it nobody besides the Penguin would be perfect for a job like that. His resume'=Umbrella holder. Harvey and Fish have a past you could say. James is on edge. Later Barbara (James's fiance) helps him out. Bullock finds out Mario Pepper is a suspect for the Wayne case. And guess who his daughter is?!?! Ivy! Young Ivy Pepper everybody. Obviously Mario is reluctant and ends up in a shootout with Gordon. Which eventually ends up in a chase that leads to Bullock shooting Mario Pepper. 

Back at the station Gordon is getting bandaged up when they find Mrs.Wayne's pearl necklace. Everybody in the station is overjoyed. Penguin sees the papers that Pepper was shot. Then he get's into MCU's car. He tells Renee and her partner that Fish framed Mooney not too long after meeting Gordon and Bullock. Later, we see Bruce at his parents funeral as well as Selina watching him from a distance all cat-like. Renee from MCU goes to visit Barbara to tell her James might be hiding something and that she is better off without him. When Barbara disagrees, Renee reminds her of her secrets. She then confronts James he goes to confront Renee. Who tells him Mr.Pepper was framed. Gordon speaks with Mrs.Pepper to find evidence. 

We learn that Mooney is working for a man named Falcone. Bullock tells him to back off Fish. But Gordon goes anyway, where he gets knocked out. A worried Barbara goes to see Harvey. He then finds Gordon being held by Mooney's guys and threatens Fish. Penguin deception is discovered and Fish fights him and kicks him out. When Harvey and James are about to be killed, Falcone shoots Mooney's guys. Turns out he has the "no killing police" rule. Gordon knows Falcone has connections. "You can't have organized crime without order." 

A little while later James and Harvey drive to the docks where a beat-up Penguin is in the trunk. Bullock tells Harvey that he has to take the snitch out. James walks Oswald to the end of the docks, pretends to shoot him then pushes him in the ocean still breathing. James then goes to Wayne Manner. Bruce is on the roof conquering his fears. Gordon informs him that Pepper was framed by the police and the mob but asks for another chance to find the killer. Bruce accepts. As Harvey leaves we see Selina once again looking over Wayne Manner. Penguin leaps out of the water alive who then proceeds to start going crazy. 

Next Monday's episode we see Penguin leaves Gotham to prepare for a fight, Bruce still conquering his fears, and Mooney continues to be a threat. I am looking forward to it. Hope you liked my recap/review of Gotham's pilot!

Red Band Society Pilot

     So last night I was on YouTube and saw the commercial for Red Band Society, advertising works! Who knew? Anyway onto my view point of  the RBS pilot. First off, I loved how Charlie our narrator is actually a coma patient. Also i'm going to have to see if pizza really does help comas, I have a feeling it could work! Plus I have a couple theories about the dad/volunteer dude and Charlie's accident so hopefully we learn more about that soon.

      Kara the cheerleader definitely has layers of skin to be removed. Drugs, smoking, and alcohol equals your typical "cray-cray" teenager. The girl who has no heart finally needs one to survive, very touching indeed. Making Kara realize she actually has to care about people other than herself. Her relationship with Nurse Jackson (Octavia Spencer!) is very humorous  as well especially when she does her specific lunch order.                                                      

       Jordi. Hmm very brave having the "balls" to find Dr. McAndrew with the cancer in his right leg and all. Leo and Emma have interesting history but stopped to due too much stress. Considering the touching dance moment near the end I suspect some Jordi and Emma love in the future. Honestly Emma is my favorite character right now, I love her humor! Jordi: "Your seriously twisted." Emma: "Not everyone appreciates it." Some inspiring words from Ruben and the leg goodbye party is on. Dash using Twilight as a pick up line on Nurse Dobler that was awkwardly hilarious especially because she has a boyfriend and a dog to get back to. And who could forget buying beer in Spanish! Later on, I love how Reuben, the doc, and Nurse Jackson converse about the roof party. Charlie's father finding out "none of this was your part" from Kara was cool.

        The title Red Band Society is very sweet, each red bracelet represents different times Leo was in the hospital. My favorite line of the whole of the episode is *drum roll*  "Your body isn't you. Your soul is you and they can never cut into your soul." which was Leo comforting Jordi about his upcoming leg surgery. Next week's preview showed what looked like a lot of mini clips from future episodes. No real spoilers on next Wednesday's episode but i'm still looking forward to next week's Red Band Society. Check out their twitter page and see all the hype! Til' next week, later!

Despair Takes CZ-198

Week 3 of conquests and our 3rd conquer. Voss, Corellia, and now CZ-198. Now on to Tat. Really hoping we win that one.

Despair Conquests, Strongholds, and a few other Star Wars The Old Republic pics

Been awhile since I posted. I had planned a post on sdcc and other stuff but eh, maybe at some point. Anyways here's a few shots from swtor from the past couple of weeks.

A early version of my Tat Balcony. Before I ran into the npc prob. Such a bummer you can't place more pets and companions. And the companions as holo's are pretty weak. They don't even show current outfit, just original outfit. :/

Tenenbaum talking about Forged Alliances. Darth Arkous is pacing the background and he looks like he's photo bombing. :)

Zissou on the little mini hutt throne. This s closer to what it looks like now. I have a few more parts up there since this shot.

Week 1 of conquests Despair Conquered the planet of Voss.

Week 2 we conquered Corellia. Thanks in big part to all the GSF pilots we have in the guild.

And lastly a couple Tenenbaun and Despair group shots on the planet of Corellia. Our newest conquest.

Links to all the Star Wars The Old Republic posts of the past couple of months and SDCC Cantina 7/25/14

Looks like it might be a little quiet as far as updating outfits in The Old Republic for awhile. That's ok, I've done probably more then I should have :P

They should have news later today with another Galactic Strongholds live stream.

I'll be attending sdcc this next week, my 8th year, I attended last years cantina event and plan to attend this years as well. As long as something else big doesn't get in the way like a screening or something.

Anyways considering I've made many different posts with outfits I decided to make another master post of Old Republic to leave up top while we wait for Galactic Strongholds. I'm really looking forward to designing houses and then taking some screens to share.

More new outfits from the Star Cluster pack and Nar Shaddaa event Kingpin Gear 

Tulak Hord's Armor set. New pvp look for Zissou 

Club Vertica packs, Tio-Salamanca and Kaw-Liga new Mandalorian gear sets

New Temple Guardian armor set for Kingsley-Ned Zissou. Jedi Knight Guardian

More of the Club Vertica packs. Remulus Drepya’s and Karness Muur’s armor sets

Santogold's Mandalorian Clansman’s and Jacq's Unbreakable Veteran’s Armor Set 

Shrewd Rascal, XoXaan, Enhanced Assailant armor sets. Little more on Galactic strongholds.

Action Screens of Tio and Mako in Rholan Dyre and Mandalore The Preserver armor.

Customization's for all my Star Wars The Old Republic characters and companions.

Star Wars The Old Republic. Some Action Screens of Tio and Mako in Rholan Dyre and Mandalore The Preserver armor.

Tio-Salamanca being my 2nd bounty hunter character is a character I mainly use for pvp. Now that I completed the Mandalore The Preserver armor set I've equiped it to Mako since Tio just got the new Rholan Dyre set. I figure it might be cool to have all of his companions in Mandalorian armor, or I could just unlock them in collections and have Magnatude's crew do that. Though i've already got some pretty good looks on those companions considering their personalities.

Anyways just moving him through some of the story to get another companion to dress and caught a few cool action shots. I also never got a pic of Mako in the preserver armor so adding those to this post as well.

It's kind of a bummer to find out you can only have 1 of a companion in a house even if you have 2 different bounty hunters. I will be displaying Mangatude's Mako since she has Unyielding helm and Huttsbane, but I sure wouldn't mind displaying this Preserver set too. Maybe you can display one companion in a house and a different in another. So Huttsbane Mako can be on Tat, while Preserver Mako can be on Nar Shaddaa. 

A couple of awesome screens of Tio-Salamanca freezing bounties in carbonite.

Ok these last 3 aren't really action poses. The first 3 screens I grabbed. 

Master Post. Links to all the posts I made on my Star Wars The Old Republic character outfits and customization's.
