SWTOR - Australia and New Zealand
A funny meme has popped up over recent weeks which I love, but some people are already damn sick of. It’s the What People Think I Do schtick, and it’s been everywhere. (Some good non-Star Wars examples can be found here, here and here).
So it was with some pleasure I saw this one:
If you didn’t get it, then you didn’t check out the other examples I linked above. Go do your homework then have a laugh!

Having read say, 90 or 100 reviews of SWTOR, I believe I’m qualified to say the one below is by far the funniest one of them all. It’s not a glowing review given the humour of the reviewer (Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw), but that’s what makes for a good review: honest opinions. It just happens that Ben’s honest opinions are likely to make you laugh – hard.
Enjoy:
Thanks to David K for the heads-up!
I just had to share this little piece of fun from WoW. Like SWTOR, WoW has PvP servers and based on this web page, some people don’t like being ganked on a regular basis. One such ganker, Angwe, has gone to the trouble to create a page documenting the aggro he causes.
There’s some funny stuff in there as well as some semi-disturbing threats made against a legitimate if not honourable means of playing the game. And yes, we know this is an older site but what the hell.
Have a look at it for yourself.
I’d argue that one of the biggest cult figures of SWTOR is the ever loving, cushion stuffing droid called C2-N2. Whether you love him or hate him, he’s hard to ignore, and BioWare’s Lead Combat Designer, Georg Zoeller, has joined the fun with this post:
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you in response to your complaint about our product, the C2-N2 droid. We regret that you are experiencing difficulties with this award winning, state of the art household droid.
Sadly, we have to inform you, that the C2-N2 droid, and its Imperial counterpart, the 2V-R8 autonomous ship maintenance unit, are not rated for combat at this time.
Several regrettable incidents, including the loss of a full squad of SIS operatives (apparently triggered by a malfunctioning speech unit voicing its congratulations to the undercover team during a deep cover infiltration mission), have lead the Republic Technical Support Corps to revoke the combat certification from these units and forced us to replace the ‘advanced weapon and martial training ROM’ from the programming of the unit.
These facts have been clearly disclosed to customers at time of sale, as well as in the programmatic introductory conversation program voiced upon owner transfer.
For this reason, we cannot take responsibility for your problems.
We are however pleased to announce that future updates to the unit’s artificial intelligence core will dramatically increase the efficiency of it’s emergency medical protocol features – and add some other, more questionable features.
The C2 Droid Corporation is also pleased to announce that we have started investigations into a new line of droid casings and cores, aimed at improving the efficiency of the unit’s assembly and construction features. No official release date for this line of top end equipment has been determined at this point.
We thank you for your interest in our product.
The Management
C2-N2 – The only thing that crits is his voice in your earchannel!
Questionable features eh? I’m intrigued, how about you? Feel free to suggest a new feature for C2-N2 in comments. Have a read through the full thread on the SWTOR forums as there’s a bucket of laughs in there.
With all that’s been going on, it’s been a while since a humour post, so here’s some brand new funny stuff to amuse you.
I’m wondering how many of us SWTOR players are already wishing we could do this…..
Oh – and if you didn’t the first time, make sure you listen to the radio broadcast in the background!

Nothing in the Star Wars Universe draws more derision than Jar Jar Binks and his brethren, the Gungans.
SWTOR thankfully doesn’t feature the race, but it’s part of a comic called ‘The Dangers of a Star Wars MMO’ and you and check it out right here.
For what it’s worth, I think they’ve captured the nature of George Lucas perfectly!
It’s coming up to New Year’s Eve, so what better than seeing some SWTOR dancing to one of the year’s biggest hits. It’s not going to win any machinima awards but it’s a bit of fun so enjoy it for what it is:
