TORWars Podcast #130: Rep Grinds, Recurring Events And Updates

January 22, 2013

Hello there TORWarriors and welcome to yet another episode of the TORWars podcast.  Today we present to you episode #130 where we talk about all of the wonderful information that came to us from BioWare over the last week.  There are some new features here at TORWars and things are every in flux.  We have some new columns you may have noticed as well as some video livestreams of the TORWars guild in action.  With those columns, you may have noticed some new names on the site and we want to welcome our newest writers to the den of mischief and mayhem.


“Hey Lady, nice tentacles.”
“you say that to all the Greels….”


TORWars is always looking for great writers. People who can do more than just string a couple of words together and make a sentence.  If you are looking for a creative outlet to talk about Star Wars: The Old Republic, contact me at dmhollis [at] torwars [dot] com.  What we are looking for is stable content on a weekly basis, which means you will likely get a day that you need to have something submitted by so that I can publish.  If this is something you can do and are deeply interested in, please let me know.  I’d like to talk with you.


Enough with the business!  What do you say, I stop my jibber-jabbering and get on with the show notes?
