Love it. Yes Pokket, the Empire has the cookies!
Like i said last time: could take your clips more serious if it wouldn't include that ridiculous overacting. Display your facts, not yourself.
And who are you really? if you don't like her clips stop watching. She is not going to change her style for one individual. Remember no one is forcing you to watch her videos.
Too True Supersoups, Pokket has made her reviews here own style. Not to mention, she's genuenly very excited for SWTOR, As you can see by here streams over at which is why it may seem like overacting to someone who just doesn't understand that if your in the business of making reviews, you gotta put your own spin on it or you want people to remember you. And Yes, I am a Poketeer...I'm not afraid to say it...
On a second note: Usual Guy? I would defend any credible reviwer I like. Girl or no Girl.
{mod edit} We have all been wronged in the past by one game or another it seems but why can't people just get oveer it. Ive said it before, many, many times, I don't slite you your opinion, but I don't agree with it...
To all the "if you don't like it don't watch it" crowd; where were you when people were tearing apart ripperx videos when they first started? don't make it so obvious that just because there is a chick with a different hair-color in the video you are drooling all over the place.
And really, it's a video about an upcoming and much anticipated game in a site that people regularly visit, why shouldn't they at least check it out, are you kidding?
And how do you know people didn't defend him? and no one is stoping anyone from checking the video. Watch it and comment on content of video instead of geting nasty with person presenting it. Simple.
Amateur art critic. The world's easiest job.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
The games graphics in this paticular video look abit underwhelming...
TSW - AoC - Aion - WOW - EVE - Fallen Earth - Co - Rift - || XNA C# Java Development
I had the graphics on Medium when I was collecting most of this footage. Part of it was due to the fact that I was streaming while frapsing the footage, the other part is because I forgot to turn the graphics back up
Noted and I will fix it for next video.
VoIgore: I respect your feedback, but I am being myself. I am who I am and I don't expect everyone to like how I present myself. I am pretty goofy irl and online (I mean, I've had blue hair for well over a year now and wear tutus with blazers a lot XD). If I were to "be serious" then I would be acting. ~.^
This game looks great and I have a blast (no pun intended) playing it. I like 3 of the classes so much that I can't decide what I want to play more.
Also, lightsabers.
Good Job Pokket.
I was curious about the Inq and the Agent, but BH is where my interests are so I never did get round to playing either. Thanks for the write up and keeping it light and interesting at the same time.
Take care, and keep the awesome videos coming.

If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
Pokket is freakin awesome!

The internet would be great if it wasn't for people given a far too easy vent to their perennially negative opinions, shot from the pulpit of their reclinable computer chair. I liked the vid, your bubbly enthusiasm perfectly matches mine and it's good to hear. Now, make Friday come faster so I can shoot things in the face!!
Good review, like your hair :-D
I'm about to dye mine darker blue (its currently pink because the red washed out far too much :-( Lesson learned, never go red)
I like the next person love lightsabers, i'm just a bit concerned that you won't be able to customize their apperance that much...
That is really my primary concern with the game, that and the legacy system.
Again thanks so much for the video review, in my opinion you should do more of em.
The look of Pokket= Swagg, 'nuff said. On another note, watching this has swayed my allegiance to the Republic... if I weren't already in a guildand know people for the Republic, I'd change sides. Perhaps they'll let you make multiple toons on different servers
. Anyways, great video as always, always very informative (and your "overexaggeration" works perfectly)
Very nice expose.
A few audio issues (popping), but nothing that can't be ironed out.
I enjoy Pokket's reviews. She packs a lot of information into them and she seems knowledgeable about the content. Good stuff.
lol all these comments about one dude....you do realize if you ignore them they get bored and vent somewhere else...if you respond you're nly giving them what they want haha, that aside i cant wait for friday! i finally get into the beta test!! woot
They are gonna let u have 8 slots per server and will have a max across servers they have stated. I dont know how many as they dont know what total character limit will be or havent said yet.
That said u can make characters on multiple servers not sure how many total characters u get though.
Seriously. DCUO looks better than this. Also, let it be noted that I actually like presentation style and she knows what's talking about, I don't know what people have to complain about.
More videos the better i say. GIves me more time wasters when im at work
Good Job.
Playing: PO, EVE
Waiting for: WoD
Favourite MMOs: VG, EVE, FE and DDO
Any person who expresses rage and loathing for an MMO is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.
Haha you play better than me.I will try again this weekend ,i wasn't really into the game last weekend.The maps were a turn off for me for the EXACT reason Pocket mentions >>>cover/strategic locations,there is really very little of this.
btw ..Cali look nah ...redhead FTW ! :P
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Good video and information. I agree with Voigore, cut the overacting.
The only problem I have with you is your voice. Maybe it's the overacting some guy here was talking about, but otherwise it's okay. I'd rather read "lame and boring" stuff than watch videos since it has more in-depth n shit. And don't worry about the haters; being goofy and light is what people are looking for when they're watching these kind of vids, so you're not doing it wrong. Good luck.
I didn't think she was overacting. To me it sounded like it was planned/written out but not rehearsed (planned but not polished).
That said, I certainly appreciated the information and particularly the fact that she listened to what appeared to be a majority of viewers (after her last post) when they asked for her to change the background music style.
Her videos (The two I've seen on this site) are informative. Witty. Funny at times... yet also right to the point with no BS. Just how I like it done... and yes the fact it is an attractive girl doing the talking helps with the enjoyment. I'm only human. She has a good thing going for herself. I hope nothing but the best comes her way.
I know you're planning on rolling Republic on launch (unless my memory is failing me). Been looking for a clan to join. Which are you in if any?
