This week we got nothing. But last week we got a ton of stuff! I discuss the new inhabitants of galaxy, each one in full detail! On top of that this weeks episode was taken in 1 take! So it got its fill of ums, and uhs, and forgetful thingies.
Most notable to mention are the Trandoshans and the Gormak. This may be a sign of things to come with Trandoshans being a very common race in the galaxy, it is very likely they will be playable. The Gormaks however probably will not be due the fact that they are part of the Voss story and it wouldn't make much sense for them to playable. On top of that we saw animals and droids. These 4 creations where not quite as interesting as the Humanoids, but i discussed them just them same.
Four new biographies last week only proved that biographies tell us nothing more then we could easily assume. Aside from the fact that we learn that Darth Malgus has a lover and the apparently who is ever the Mandalore doesn't have a real name. It made for a few laughs as I stumbled with my words and tried to pull what ever the heck I could from the biographies.

Hey! This week was fan Friday and we got sneak peek into combat in Star Wars: The Old republic. Combat in the game is very nice and distinct. You can see they have been putting a good amount of work into the animations and are not lacking in any visual aspect of our combat experience. We are going to feel like we are our class and that we are truly fighting the odds.
On top of all that this fan Friday was especially rewarding with some art from the community which is my favorite so far. Especially the picture of the Sith Lord with a giska, i can already see it while I'm running around coruscant doing some work on the Auction House. Also we got a wonderful look at the visual effects in the world, which surpass anything i have seen in previous MMOs. Also we got a look at transportation in the game

HEY! This week we learned of the planet Voss, a planet inhabited by two warring races, the tech savvy-Gormaks and the powerful force-sensitive Voss. I predict the Voss will be the main race which we interact with here since both the Sith and the Republic are vying for the Voss' loyalty. Jedi and Sith will find this planet especially interesting since there are traces of ancient Sith and Republic ruins on the planet. Also SW:TOR has the same amount of planets as SWG. I ask the question whether or not It will surpass SWG in actual map size, and also could this game have largest mmo map? There's a good chance the answer is no but one can always dream can they not . And Lastly, I finish off with a quick talk on integrating PvP into the story, hope the example of what I was talking about was clear, when I was listening after i had finished everything up i realized it may need a little more clarification. I was not talking about help a player if hes being attacked, or waiting for a player to be done fighting so you can finish a quest. But, i was talking about an NPC being attacked by players, instead of waiting for him to either win or die and respond you help him and it somehow influences his interactions with you. Sort of like in the KOTOR series when all too often you come across some poor man being beat up by bounty hunters. If they integrate PvP into the story in some new way like that I may be inclined to finally do PvP!

Hey! First episode of "The Anchorhead Weekly Podcast" is up and running. This episode briefly goes over the latest developers blog and a quick talk about a prediction for what factions are going to look like. This episode was more of a test episode to make sure that i have everything working and all the websites up (Encountered a little trouble all ready with getting the podcast online). But now its all set up and I'm ready to start making a podcast a week! So sit back, and enjoy the first episode of "The Anchorhead Weekly Podcast". And be sure to come back in a couple days for the far better second episode, which will be entirely about the SW:TOR rather then making sure everything is working properly . Also for my next episode I'll make sure to put some foam on my mic to take away the "ph" sound when I'm talking.
Crafting is another area where we’ve talked a lot about community. The systems design team is not satisfied with some other crafting systems that we’ve seen, where many players craft almost exclusively for themselves. We’ve spent quite a bit of time discussing how to ensure that crafters – true dedicated crafters – can make a name for themselves and be important in their community.
This is an excerpt from the latest developers blog where Damion Schubert briefly touched on Crafting in the game. One of the first times crafting has been mentioned!
Also, I quickly go over my general predictions for what we're going to see with factions. Nothing to specific and probably nothing you your self have not already thought. But it makes a great time filler!
Got comments? Questions? Opinions you dying to hear said on a podcast?!? Head on down to twitter.com/anchorheadpcast or anchorheadweekly.blogspot.com and leave them there
If you would like to help out in anyway such as: creating music for the show, creating a short segment to be added in, or even coming on the show and talking a few times feel free to send me a private message on the SW:TOR forums. Palopit.
