Tiranea Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Going Commando is my personal little SWTOR fan blog where I share general thoughts on and opinions about the game with the world. I started it shortly after the game's launch and have been updating it every couple of days or so since then. Why not stop by and say hello? http://swtorcommando.blogspot.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediSpur Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I'm really liking your blog. I've never played an MMO before. I came strictly for the Star Wars. I've struggled to pick up all the lingo and stuff but found your blog to be very accessible and understandable. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiranea Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Just thought I'd give this a little bump as it's been over a year and I'm up to 250 posts now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiranea Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Wow, has it really been nearly a year since I posted in this thread? I thought it might be worth mentioning that I'm still around and that the blog is up to 350 posts now. Also, when did the fansite forum get consolidated with the community content forum? Not that I mind, I just hadn't noticed... Edited September 21, 2014 by Tiranea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidelicatessen Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 That's called a pun. Great blog, been reading it for about a year and a half, now. Well-written, insightful and funny!

Tiranea Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Wow, has it really been over a year since I last bumped this? Still around four years later!

Tiranea Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Time for the annual bump! Still around six years later and still going strong. Also been experimenting with some video-making... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiranea Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) In honour of the new forums, I shall give this post its first bump in almost five years. 😂 However, while I haven't been posting on the forums, the blog has continued and is up to an archive of almost 1200 posts now. At this point I don't think there are many people left who've consistently been creating content about the game since its launch (even if I've slowed down a bit in the last couple of years)... Anyway, feel free to follow my musings here: https://swtorcommando.blogspot.com/ Edited September 30, 2022 by Tiranea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Bergerac Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Hello Shintar/Tiranea, I was pleasantly surprised to find this topic here on SWTOR's website just now! I think I first came across your SWTOR blog some years ago, when I started playing SWTOR and was looking for related information on-line, but I only started reading your blog in earnest this year. Over the past few months, I have gone through your entire list of blog posts, reading the (many) posts that interested me. Thank you for your perseverance in continuing to write about SWTOR, and my sincere compliments on the exceptionally high standard of recreational writing. I know this is reaching you late, but congratulations in relation to your post on 23 February 2019. 🙂 I hope you keep enjoying the game and writing about it for a long time to come. - DB, the Vanguard from the other side of the world (Australia) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
