Welcome to the Zero to Fifty TL;DR's coverage of the Zero to Fifty Housing Spectacular!  Today, we get to see the lifestyles of the famous and infamous, the ragged and the glamorous, the glitzy and the drab!  See how some of the people we talk about live their lives behind that showbiz exterior!  We begin in.... the apocalypse.  Tony Rey has somehow managed to rig a potatoe, a Virtua Boy, and a box of paper clips into a transmission device for the stream.  We are in a drab office setting, and Tony discusses the impending plague destined to wipe out humanity!
 
Actually, that's kind of true.  Tony is at his workstation on a jury rigged setup so he can do the stream.  Somehow, his video transmission team has gotten sick again, but he wanted to bring us a stream on the glamor of housing.  Nice.... and the day isn't going to get much better...
 
-Tony begins by explaining the plague, then the stream.  A few days prior, we were given a forum thread to post in that we could get our house listed in.  Tony had a list of viewable houses, but his chompacabra ate it.  Tony then slew the chompacabra in order to extract shredded bits of paper, hoping they would give him names of plots to visit.
 
-Tony mentions that they patched the night before.  There are major PVP updates, so please read the patch notes here.  He also makes sure to mention that they fixed the taxi pileup of 2015.  I didn't know Carbine could fix the snow situation in the northeast, but apparently they did.  No more taxi pileup.
 
-Tony decides to get straight into the housing, so that he doesn't waste another sec-
 
-Tony decides to get straight into the housing.  He makes sure to inform us that the other major problem happening at the time of the stream is a server error on the skymap server that runs housing.  It has been crashing intermittently, kicking everyone in housing offline.  If you think this is absolutely the WORST possible circumstances for a stream on housing, that the people who run the stream are all sick and the housing server is constantly crashing, you'd probably be right.  Makes you wonder how bad it was when the stream used to say they were having technical difficulties that this one they wanted to keep going...
 
-Tony starts with a tour of the community housing plot.  He begins by throwing his gate to the wrong side of the shield.  He mentions this is going to be rough.  We're all watching at this point the way people watch NASCAR.  We're waiting for the crash.
 
-Tony has expanded his Exile base some considerable way.  He has made the entryway far more expansive, as well as a new medi-
 
-Tony enters his plot and jumps the gate.  He has a strain creature in a cage, and his captain's quarters consists of an exile tactical table and an eldan relic.  I'll show you a real captain's deck, Tony... and a real tactical room.
 
-Tony goes to the roof to talk about how he wants to put a spaceship on the roof.  He tried a tower, but it didn't work out.  However, he is looking for suggestions on how the ship could be put together.  Well, Tony, I've got some great suggestions!  You should-
 
-Tony enters the housing plot.  He wonders if he should have printed pictures of people's houses.  Maybe, in fact, he should have duplicated them the way they did with Winter Wonderland.  Tony shows us the bathroom and the training room.  He says the stream always says he should train.  I'll add that he should train at building training rooms.  His armory is respectable, though.
 
-Tony wants to show us the secret room.  He wants to make sure we don't talk about the secret room.  We should never, ever, mention the secret room.  He swears us all to never speak about the room.  So after he goes around the bull statue in his hallway, underneath its arm, jumps down a pipe, follows the tube, and ends up in a treasure room with a bunker hatch, he explains that he hasn't really worked on the bunker.  Our lips are sealed, Tony.
 
-Tony mentions that he wants to make a bunch of shops and a village next to his fort.  He shows off his church/great hall area, which comes complete with its own Scrappy Jack.  The door doesn't open on his way out, so he has to jump the wall.  He shows us the demarcated foundations for his coming village area.  I guess he needs some village people.
 
-Tony goes to visit the plot of Antim-
 
-Tony goes to visit the plot of Antimone Stibine (shout out to Anti, one of our own Blazing Saddles!)  Tony arrives at a rainy plot covered in plants and surrounded by craggy rocks.  He decides to try to climb the outer wall.  He thinks something he's colliding with is pushing him off.  It is Tony, it's a rock you aren't clearing.  He says the explorer is weak in him.  I agree.
 
-Anti's plot features a cave with an exanite pillar.  Tony then turns to see the rocket house.  Anti's rocket house is a lot less dilapidated than the one I keep.  It is functional inside, with a working interior and cabin. Tony seems to be awed by the inside of a real house, but is worried he will crash housing again.  Roda calls him a homewrecker.  KILL HIM JACK! .... That may be an in-joke.
 
-Tony attempts to visit the house of Twinge Lore, but it doesn't work.  It must not have been the character name.  Tony instead decides to visit the home of Lucy Fur.  Lucy upkeeps a desert house built from 2x4, as can plainly be seen.  It is elevated off the ground, set in a great Malgrave landscape with a lot more brush.  Tony attempts to jump through a plate glass window.  HAH!  Silly Tony, you can't ju-
 
-Tony visits the house of Lucy Fur.  He goes through the front door this time, which seems a good idea.  Lucy goes for a more detailed and simple feel.  She has things like a built entertainment center, a great desk area, a-
 
-Tony visits the house of Lucy Fur and describes how the entertainment center is built.  It reminds me quite a bit of Mies Van Der Rohe's Farnsworth Hou-
 
-Tony visits the hou-
 
-Tony mentions that the pantry was probably built from 2x4s.  Dasmoose didn't mean "the pantry was made of 2x4".  The whole house is.  Tony seems shocked by this.  Maybe Tony should tour a few more houses.  Still, very impressive houses.  Tony decides this would be the last house visited and guarantees there will be another housing plot episode.  Maybe we'll get our guild plot visited! :D  But probably not.  That's how my luck goes.  Tony wants to run more in the future, though, especially in Dominion and the EU.
 
-Tony starts the fan art section.  Our first piece of fan art-
 
-Sorry, not a crash that time.  The sound died.  Anyway, it includes a great Aurin sketch by Rika Loves Die, a Mordesh Spellslinger by Rackham Crowley, and a lovestruck Mechari by Rosie du Rosel.  I only surmise that because that's what was listed on the Facebook post and art itself.  The sound is dead.  No wonder they don't let you run the streams yourself, Tony, YOU EVEN KILL THE SOUND AT YOUR OWN DESK!  I wonder how Non keeps it functioning with your gremlin touch around at all.  Send your fan art of all kinds and stripes to fanart@wildstar-online.com to be featured on the show, the magazine, and all across social media.
 
-Tony apologizes for losing the sound and for the stream being so bad.  In all honesty, Tony... I think we can cut you some slack this time.  That was a rough one, and you at least tried to give us something.  We'll live.  Soldier on.
 
Just make sure the next one is better.  I don't want our Shadowcaster viewed in bits and pieces between crashes.

I'm glad I was able to tune in this time.. Just wanted to thank Tony again for setting up the stream; despite the hiccups, I really enjoyed seeing the housing plots! 
(And of course, thanks Vic for the recaps)
 
*Is now motivated to work on her plot!* *flies away*
