The contest has come to an end and I have whittled down the link list to what you see now. I have “judged” them based on links out from my blog, content, consistant updates, and plain old “how much I like ya” factor. If you are not on this list, it’s not because you are not “worthy,” but that the line has to be drawn somewhere or you end up with a list like I had last Monday. I hope you are all enjoying the new theme and I hope to improve on that and my content in the coming weeks, especially after SOBCon 07.
Live Large, and Don’t Be Afraid
I think I mentioned around New Year’s that I HATE New Year’s resolutions. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have goals. I have always been a goal-oriented person, and it brings a great sense of drive and accomplishment to my life to do so. Without goals, I wander around aimlessly in a rut of boredom, or at the worst, self-fulfilling selfishness with my free time. It is goals that give my life gusto and direction.
Last year, it was simple: get on my own 2 feet and get in a position to marry that woman that had held my heart for 4 years. Goal accomplished, October 21, 2006, 2 months early.
This year, there are two lives to consider with my goals, AND her goals must become my goals. [Read more…] about Live Large, and Don’t Be Afraid
Slow Going in Stonetalon Mountains
I didn’t get very far into level 23 last night, mostly at the hands of some PvP jerks out to make people miserable. It started from the moment I logged in. I was all the way up in the North in Stonetalon Peak, trying to get the last parts for Jin’Zil’s Forest Magic (which wasn’t going too good), when I was immediately presented with a level 23 dwarf hunter about 30 yards in front of me. He had red text above his name. We all know what that means. RUN!!
I a Hunter’s Mark above my head before I could even think to run, and his cat was running up to get me. My first thought was to frost nova the cat and get to a mountain and jump. Would you believe that there were no accessible ledges to be found without risking a dead end attempt? It sucked. He chased me all the way down to Mirkfallon Lake before I met some help. He died. I went to Sun Rock Retreat to turn in what I did get done.
Ding 23; It’s Easter!
Happy Easter, all.
I dinged 23 this morning. /played 23h 20m.
Off to church and family stuff for the day. I’ll be back on later tonight for updates, if not just taking pics for putting up in the morning.
Ding 22; Loving Teleport
/played: 20h 36m @ level 21.
After picking up my Staff of the Sun in Deatholme with the help of Jikksta and the willingness to take a zep by Kelthias, I finished out the questline by going to UC after I turned in Kel’gash’s Head. Of course, being in the mage quarters in SM simply meant using the orb to teleport to UC, walk over to the portal trainer, and learn the UC teleport spell.
After speaking to Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, I needed to go speak to Warchief Thrall in Org. Hmm…how should I best go about that? I opted for the instant teleport rather than waiting for a stupid blimp and all of that running involved. Then he wanted me to go back to SM! LOL. I teleported again, with much glee and delight.
I’m up in Ashenvale for now, but not for long, I think. I’ll get some pretty good questing done in The Barrens, I’m sure. What did you do last night?
WoW Toons are Glorified Tamagotchi
I was discussing games with a co-worker yesterday and was mildly disappointed that he doesn’t play the best game ever, but…I overlooked that point in the interest of the conversation. His love is Grand Theft Auto, and he plays it a LOT.
I really don’t have any experience playing it, although I got a GTA 3-pack from Best Buy about 2 years ago to play on my laptop because of its limited gaming ability. I think he’s a few releases down the road from me, but at least I know what he is talking about.
What got him about the latest version was the constant need to take care of his guy. There was food, and clothes, and sleep, and all kinds of stuff that he said belongs in The Sims, not in a car-jacking game. [Read more…] about WoW Toons are Glorified Tamagotchi
