The main city of The War Within never fails to amuse me, there’s always someone in there doing something weird. Today, it was a tiny crab toy that was carrying around a companion who was carrying around an ethereal, and they would all move together around the area. Very strange! Also awesome.
As always, happy gaming no matter where you find yourself.
I’ve now officially finished the Eastern Kingdoms Cup – but only on normal. There are still advanced and reverse races to do but I’m calling this a win. I did implement a few changes to my dragonflight. I picked up an addon called Glider that changes the dragonflying gems into a pie with triangle sections. It lights up green as you accelerate, and goes red if you’re slowing down. This gave me an easier time visualizing what was going on. I also decided to fly on a disc instead of a mount because it was MUCH easier to see my surrounding areas.
Plaguelands was my least favourite race. The yellow of the mushrooms + the yellow of the scenery + the yellow of the rings all sort of blended together and I had a very difficult time telling the difference. I’m glad to have that one done.
I MIGHT go and try to complete the reverse, because I imagine that can’t be any more difficult than doing normal, especially since I certainly don’t have any of the paths memorize, but we’ll have to see. For now, just earning gold in each of them was more than enough.
As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.
I’m not sure what number I’m up to now, but I’m slowly crawling my way to 500 mounts collected (useable by a single character) – the latest was from completing the glyph achievements that I probably should have done before now. Whoops.
Better late than never!
I don’t normally participate in these group events with Blaugust, but I always enjoy reading them, so I figured why not. This one is a pretty easy one for me to speak up about. We’re supposed to write about something we don’t normally share on our blog, that we think our readers would never guess. So. What’s mine?
I have NOT been a ‘gamer’ my entire life. In fact, I didn’t even own a computer or use a personal computer until I moved out in 2000. I very clearly remember my first computer because it was only 25 years ago. I did take typing in school (I don’t think that’s a thing any more) but I don’t think that counts as ‘gaming’.
My brothers were the gamers, I have two younger ones and yes on occasion me and Mom would gather together and play Mario Kart and get my gamer brothers to help us out on the harder levels, but I did not grow up playing games, and I didn’t care about them at all. The one computer we had at home was “Dad’s” and we were allowed to use it in later years to check email, and sometimes use his BBS that he ran, but that was about it.
There are days when I feel like I could honestly step away from gaming all together and be perfectly happy. Then I remember that I met my husband through gaming, I met some of my closest friends through gaming. My past careers, working for Carbine Studios, writing for Beckett Massive Online Gamer – all gaming. It has played a significant part in my life, despite not having grown up doing any of it.
So there you have it. A huge (now) gamer, who was never a gamer growing up.
Other people doing this group project? Going to steal the links but here they are.
I’ve leveled up my cloak and unlocked each tier – I’m not sure if Blizzard is going to add more tiers, but I think I found this a little underwhelming. It felt very separate and unrelated to anything else I was doing in K’aresh, mostly because a lot of the quests are all about the eco-dome. Any way, I’m glad to be finished with it, and glad that my alts can all pick up their cloaks and level it since it’s shared across the warband.
Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
