New Layout and Porftolio!

Brooks Guthrie — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:09:28 +0000

Any frequent visitors may recognize a new look and feel to the site. The previous theme has served me well, but it’s time for a revamp of both the “blog” portion of this site, as well as my personal portfolio. Both sites now employ themes from ThemeForest designer Mixey. The themes by default were great, but I’ve added some extra touches (and some extra functionality in the case of the portfolio).

Expect to see more regular content here about what exactly I’m up to. And you can find my portfolio in it’s new permanent location at portfolio.brooksguthrie.com

Wow, the Imperial Agent!! We knew the community was buzzing about the next class for the Sith Empire, but we certainly weren’t expecting an announcement this soon. The two of us cover the ins and outs of the new class, as well as Bioware’s approach to preventing gold farmers and botters from ruining our game experience before the game is even out! We also received some great listener questions about classes and how the Austin team is going to pull off all this story business!
