Episode 123 - Mr Ben Says It All
- Details
Week 2 of Guest-tember brings our discussion with Marcus from Working Class Nerds. We discuss how the community in Star Wars: The Old Republic makes the game more than just a solo romp. Bioware is introducing many more features to guilds which should also increase the value and longevity of groups and player made content.
What else do we expect to see from Bioware? How will these changes impact how players stay engaged? Let's find out!
September is here and its time for "Guestember"! We kick off the month by welcoming our friend Ted from The State of the Old Republic podcast to talk about the recently released SWTOR Fall Roadmap. What did we like? What was unexpected? What was displeasing? Find out!
We also take a minute to bid farewell to the MMO known as Wildstar. While none of us on the show ever played, we understand that many people enjoyed it very much, and we want to invite any former Wildstar players back to Star Wars The Old Republic!
Have you seen the trailer for Star Wars Resistance?! It looks new and interesting. We have mixed reactions and mixed expectations for what the latest installment on Disney XD will bring.

This week's Bad Feeling Podcast brings a discussion recap of last week's PVPness interview with our friends at Bioware. We move on to some things that we haven't heard from those folks: A Fall Roadmap. We've reached the end of the summer map, and haven't heard any rumblings of a follow-up.
The back half of the show is a discussion about Legos! The Star Wars branded Legos have traditionally fallen into two categories: cheap sets or very expensive sets. Now there is a new line of sets in the $20 to $30 range that really hits the sweet spot of pricing. Crafters rejoice!

Look at that! Game update 5.9.2 has dropped and it brought so much more than expected! There are more achievements, more lag, more bugs, more deaths and more fun! Let's discuss what we're seeing in game and hopefully what will be fixed soon.
We've gotten some words handed down from Musco regarding win trading during ranked PVP. Be gone foul cheaters! You shall be smited with the ban hammer!
Casey Hudson, General Manager for Bioware delivered a summer update that mentions our beloved SWTOR! The Old Republic got one whole sentence from the studio, and it suggests good things are coming! We're not invisible anymore!
In the back half of the show, we discuss something that no one wants: Star Wars fatigue. Back in the day, Star Wars was so scarce, we had to revel in any piece of content we could find. Now that Star Wars is a large part of the world wide popular culture, we're becoming saturated. What does this mean? Who is this good for? Is there more to it than just a cash grab from the suits at Disney?
