Nice, great system. The intel i5 2500k and the geforce gtx 560 are also great at overclocking. Of course you probably won't need to overclock that beast of a system for a few years lol.

Thanks guys!

Here's another:

Episode 389 - Deep Space Nine - "Trials and Tribble-ations" - 11/04/1996

Sisko and his crew go back to the time of Captain Kirk to find a bomb disguised as a tribble.

Enjoy!

Just saw "The Girl Who Waited." We're over a week behind because I need to wait for a certain fiance to be "in the mood" to watch it.

Was going to complain about having to get used to these "British" seasons of only 12 or so episodes only to come to the realization that one of my favorite shows now off the air (The 4400) and one of my new favorites (Falling Skies) are also only 12 or so episodes a year.

It is, indeed, squee time :D

I was surprised, but really glad, to see that we'll be able to change our companions' appearances. Will make it a lot easier to get used to seeing them with other folk!

Thanks for sharing! I'm getting more and more excited!

Very cool.

As far as I know gender is not something that you can change same as species.

Oh well lets hope one of them is dateable, crooked noises, scars and all. :P

Im with Nikku on this part of it.

I was a bit annoyed by the contention that characters with scars or crooked noses had to be cleaned up to be romanceable. Some of us aren't that shallow, and some of us like a bit of rough! :evil:

So, we have 8 Classes x 2 sexualities (gay/lesbian), that makes 16 new Companions to make.

I think it's really unlikely they'll make a romanceable les and gay male companion for each class. What's probably going on is that they've got a patch in mind already for adding new companions, and that some of them will have same-sex romance options. And/or some extant companions will be 'turned' bisexual - folk will be more iffy about this but it'd be the least difficult way to do it. Hell, if I were them I'd thrown in some genderless or genderqueer companions too.

I also predict faction-specific or multi-class companions with same-sex romance options being patched in, to make them more widely available.

It wouldn't bother me if I was playing a Trooper and there were no gay romance options with any Trooper companions. That's just like real life - not everyone you meet is open to romance. It only bothers me if there's romance in general, but that none of it is same-sex.

In my opinion I don't think that they would have created the survey (and the hype that surrounded it) if they hadn't actually already decided to add the content. That means planning I think like most games they have a separate team working on post launch stuff as we speak and I'm optomistic that they had already started the work prior to the confirmation. Lets face it one of the things a company will do to generate hype will be to have something controversial (which this topic is) I don't think they were doing it just for giggles, I think they had planned on having it all along and wanted to use this as a way to get people talking about the game. But again just my opinion.

As far as I know gender is not something that you can change same as species.

For me I'm going to wait and see. I have no experience with BioWare games so I don't want to count anything out yet.

I like that they've come out and said they will add them. I'm not a programmer nor am I an person who works in the gaming industry so again I won't count them out on being able to pull this off within 12 months of release.

I'm going to play the game, enjoy the lore (since I'm not up SW lore this will be exciting for me) and have fun with my guild mates as we tackle the challenges in game.

Ok, I really don't want to sound like trolling. This is a serious concern.

So, we have 8 Classes x 2 sexualities (gay/lesbian), that makes 16 new Companions to make. Now consider the newest video about how complex and demanding making Companions is:

http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/09/23/swtor-companions-detailed-in-new-video-interview/

Ok, if you watched the video, at least I thought: how the heck can we really hope to EVER really really get gay & lesbian Companions? This sounds like a years work, not to talk about the fact they have a plethora of other things to add and work on! I mean, come on, do you really believe they priorize gay & lesbian Companions, 16 new characters?? Just for us? I mean, heck it took them 6 frigging weeks just to answer! They worked on this game for 5+ years! And in such a big team there isn't a single gay employee who could have told them earlier?? It makes no sense to me, and it makes ME quite afraid we are not going to see this before a year or what. And even then. I have a VERY hard time to see Bioware "Hey look here is the huge first addon, SIXTEEN new companions... and they are all homos!" LIKE HELL.

Sorry. I am just so very burnt on this topic. Let me know what you think, please.

Thanks hon! That was really great to watch and now I want a jawa companion, they are so cute!!!

edit: does anyone know if you can pick the gender of your campions? I might have missed this somewere so I apologize if this was already discussed. But from what I can see it looks random. I hope not and I hope we get to pick their gender.

On massively thought I'd link:)
