Taul Kajak sigh

So, I've had a few minutes to play today, and I've had a tough time. First, while recording my "alternate" Mirialan Jedi Sentinel, I had the game crash on me in the middle of a recording. That was OK. I could restart it well enough and splice the two video files together But then, about forty-five minutets or so after getting it restarted, we had three little micro-pulses of power outage. Enough to reboot my computer and my modem, even though each of the outages was less than a second. My wife, upstairs with nothing on but the TV, didn't even notice it. (I didn't think to check the microwave or oven clock.) The side effect of this is that it screwed up my recording. I have a file, but I can't play it. Its a gig and a quarter, but it's corrupted and won't play, and I'll have to delete it. 

So, my Mirialan Sentinel is my backup Jedi. My Darth Maul looking zabrak Jedi Elemer Kell is my "main." It was, however, my intention to keep recording him anyway, so it's disappointing to lose that footage, since you can't go back and replay those missions (which is a complaint for another post, but it goes all the way back to the entire MMO paradigm of SWTOR, so that's a twelve year old complaint now. I need to get over it). I could also keep going anyway and just be missing that portion, but I'll have to skip some of the early story missions (and some exploration missions, although I won't miss those) on Coruscant, which are pretty crucial. What a pain. What in the world caused that stupid micro-blackout? Argh. 

By funny coincidence, the two original recording playthroughs that I had to abandon because I had story missions that I "lost" either by forgetting to record them, or now by this, were both Mirialan. I guess I'm just not intended to record a Mirialan playthrough. That's what I get for abandoning my human male only take, I guess. Although as I go through the Sith Sorcerer with a human girl character, I'm more and more convinced that it somehow just works better as a girl. No idea why. That story is borderline farce anyway, so maybe that's the reason. Her sarcasm and occasional silliness work better as a villainess rather than a villain.

Of course, I can still play through these two Mirialan characters and probably will, but I also have to decide what to do with them. I imagine that after I finish the stories, I may keep them around for a little while just in case I want to do a bit of the post-story stuff, but it may make sense to just delete them when I'm done too.
