I’ll start this with my apologies on the late update on the news, our site was under a few issues on the back end which prevented new material from being posted properly…but it’s all fixed now. So, the news! The TOROcast team has stated this as a joke many, many, MANY times throughout our forum threads, podcasts and news: Space is OFFICIALLY confirmed. In addition, we have a fan Friday filled with art and the first chapter of Fatal Alliance: The first Star Wars: The Old Republic based book to be released as of yet! Read on for more.
Don't Be Surprised If Aliens Are Class-Specific
Written by Matt "fo diggity"
I've already written twice about non-Human species, or "aliens", as playable characters in Star Wars: The Old Republic—once to say selection would be limited and once to say there will be faction-exclusives—but I was struck by the thought that we've really only seen alien player characters assigned to one class per species. Generally, it's not unusual for RPG games to restrict class choice by "race", but it never seemed appropriate to me for Star Wars. I especially dislike the idea that every alien species would be exclusive to only one particular class. Still, I feel it's a possibility worth considering.
Welcome to one of the most important articles you will read about Star Wars: The Old Republic prior to the launch of the game. In this article I will spell out for you what you need to know about the Game Testers Agreement. You remember, that legally binding agreement you signed? It is common knowledge that most people won’t read it and will just hit accept. Well, if you are one of those people you better read this article otherwise you might be in for a rude awakening on what exactly you signed. I do still recommend you read the entire Agreement for yourself.
This weeks show we discussed the awesome releases of the Sounds of SWTOR and the Music of SWTOR. Joined by FoDigg and B-Money we had a great quick show. A big welcome to all the new listeners and enjoy the show.

Friday Update: Music and Sound, Plus Blood of the Empire *UPDATED*
Written by Kyle Pants LeMieux
This Friday, we receive a new kind of presentation…the kind of which has been asked of off-handedly amongst all the followers of Star Wars: The Old republic. We’re given a glimpse at the Music and Sound of The old Republic, as well as another “issue” of Blood of the Empire! Read more after the break for any notes involed!
While at E3 2010 Brandon and I had the chance to sit down and talk with Deborah Shin, Marketing Manager for BioWare, and Rob Cowles, Marketing Manager for Lucas Arts. The first thought through your mind is most likely, "why in gods name would I want to watch an interview with the Marketing Managers for a video game?" Well, the answer to that question is this, Deb and Rob work closely with Sean Dahlberg in picking out what and when something will be released about TOR. The three of them together come up with the weekly updates, and put them through BioWare, Lucas Arts, as well as EA for approval.
On show 60 Brandon, KPants, Samm, and Musco bounce back from missing last weeks show. They go over all of the release information out of E3 as well as talking extensively about the beta testing process. We also throw out a few announcements like a live show soon and a new E3 interview!
