Too Many Games, Not Enough Time!


Forgive my recent slacking in the blog area! I just got my Internet connection back not long ago, just in time for every game I have been waiting for to come out, all in like a three month period! I didn't have trouble deciding between games, because I just got them all, lol, but now I have a new problem! I don't have enough time to play all these games to their full potential!

I got Rock Band 2 first, and played that ALMOST all the way through, but I didn't have XBL then, so I haven't actually tried much of the online play yet, which I really want to do, but I just haven't found the time. I then got Gears of War 2. I LOVED GoW1, and chainsawed the hell out of people, but I have barely even touched GoW2 yet! I played Fallout 3 for a couple hours. It is awesome, and I love it, but I've only actually sat down and played it twice! Then there is Wrath of the Litch King, which did absorb a week of my life there, but even my old vice World of Warcraft, isn't getting the obsessive attention it rightfully deserves!!! I also bought Fable 2, and CoD World at War, but haven't even had a chance to play them once yet!!!

I get that everyone brings out their new games around Christmas time, but c'mon! It's just too many really good games all at the same time! I am overwhelmed! Needless to say they are all fantastic and you should make sure Santa knows you want them all!

WotLK - Warcraft Obsession Renewed...

Oh Blizz, you bastards! Finally I had gotten away from World of Warcraft! I was down to playing maybe a few hours a week at most, and now... Well, now I look like a crack addict again with these epic bags under my eyes!! 36 hour play sessions, 6 characters to level from 70-80, a Deathknight to get to 80, professions to level to 450 and those new achievements too!!! World of Warcraft has gone from being slightly boring, but still enjoyable at times, to ALL I have been doing!

I started out WotLK by making a Deathknight... like a couple other million people. I was hooked right away! They are like a strange combination of a warlock, warrior and rogue sort of, and they have NO downtime what-so-ever! I got to 64 on my Deathknight over the first weekend (I went blood spec with mine, no fun ghoul, but man can I dps!), but then my leveling partner had to go out of town for the week so I had to put her aside and decide which of my 70s to level to 80 first. I decided on my pally, because she has been my main forever and they made her own in that last patch before the expansion. (She's holy/ret, kinda shockadinish, probably a lame build, but it works for me!) I like the achievements when leveling, it encourages me too look around a new zone to get the exploration one and the quest achievement for a zone lets me know if I am missing a camp of quests or when I am almost finished.

The quests in Northrend so far have been amazing! They are actually fun and none of them have been difficult so far (I am currently level 76). As a pally I can solo any two man quests and some of the three mans, so it has all been pretty easy! Each level is taking approximately 8 hours right now, but I am guessing that will be significantly shorter on my next character through Northrend when I actually know how to do all the quests!

I will update more when I actually reach 80 on my Paladin and my Deathknight, but for now that is all I will say, because I really want to get back to playing!!!
