Back to the good stuff! September 23, 2007

Since I’m back to playing WoW again I think that I’ll continue on with my Karazhan Boss Tactics section. It seems to be a popular part of the blog so I’ll give the people what they want and eventually have the full boss list done.

I’ve got a few things going on at the moment. Looking for a new job because I am very tired of the one I’m currently in, wrapping up the boss tactics, blogging more regularly here, blogging more on a few other blogs, selling some things on Ebay … and the list goes on. I’m a busy little bunny but hopefully I’ll be able to find the time I need to get some much needed blogging done.

I haven’t done one of these in a long time so I thought I’d give you Warcraft fans a little treat. I was just poking around at YouTube and found this video that I quite like. Enjoy :)

Presenting A Brand New Blogger!! September 22, 2007

I’ve been nudging and hinting for months to L33tz0r that he should write some sort of blog. He’s been plugging away at the book he’s been writing and I think that he’s got enough creativity in him to spit out a little blog on the side too :D He has a lot of knowledge about tanking in World of Warcraft and a love for it that I don’t think is healthy or in any way sane.

So I’m pleased (and proud) to announce the birth of a new blog by none other than my L33tz0r!! Please hop on over to Bobrek’s Tank Spot and have a look at what he’s done so far. Keep in mind that this is a work in progress and he’s still got some planning and work to do on it.

If you have any tanking tips, tanking questions you’d like answered or any ideas for him to include in his blog, please feel free to leave him a comment because I know he’d love some feedback.

I quit rehab …. September 16, 2007

Following in the footsteps of Britney, Lindsay and all the other stars of the day, I have to tell you that I am back on the WoW. I tried to quit. I really did. Well I did quit … for 2 months anyway. During those 2 months I tried to find something to fill the void that WoW had left but *sigh* there wasn’t anything that I found that I could say I liked better or was willing to pay for.

L33tz0r and I started over on a new server with new characters (since he foolishly deleted all of his characters in a moment of rage) so that we could have a fresh start. This time we’re trying out a PvP server on the horde side to see how we like it. It’s not a race to 70 this time though … we’re taking our time and just playing for fun. Which is nice actually. I think that I had forgotten how to enjoy the game. We’re in a new social/leveling guild … the people are nice and we just chat away while questing. The server that we’re on is a new one. Benefits include: not over populated, lower latencies, things are still well priced at the Auction House, lots of other people still leveling as well … and the list goes on!

I’m off work today so you’d better believe that I’ll be playing for most of the day hahaha!! Haven’t decided what my main will be but I’m leveling a priest, a mage and a hunter to level 20 and then decide which one I’d prefer to play for the long haul. It’s hunter day today ^^

Ok ok, I know that it’s actually Sunday and I’m sort of cheating … but I feel awful that I haven’t participated in AGES so I thought that I’d do this one early because I am working all day tomorrow and know I’ll be to tired then. Oh how I’ve missed this!!

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

I hate those people who feel that they are superior to me because I am serving them in some way. I work at a clothing shop and there are some women who come in and treat me as though I am much lower in the universe than they are. Although I do not think that working your entire career in retail is a bad thing, I am only 22 years old and am planning on finishing my degree so retail is not where I am going to be in a few years time. It’s a job and it gets me by for the time being.

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

Working in Manchester city center has it’s perks … especially when I get to see celebrities!! Last week I saw Jodie Marsh. She’s one of those people that have no idea why they are famous at all because they don’t actually DO anything. I guess she’s sort of a softcore model/porn star over here and her most recent “work” was a television show where she had men audition to marry her. I have no idea if she did marry this guy or not, mostly because I don’t really care … but it makes me think she’s really really desperate for attention. Anyway, when I saw her I don’t know if I could point out one inch of her that was real.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

I am unhappy with having to work my butt off all the time for very little pay. I am also unhappy that I am unable to monetize my WordPress blogs :’( I do plan on paying for some web space at the end of the month so then I will be able to do with then what I wish muahahahaha!!

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

I give credit to all those people who have fallen on hard financial times and were able to plow through it and eventually see the other side. I hear that there is an “other side” … people say that I’ll see it some day!! At the moment it looks like a long way off but I’ve had many people tell me how they pushed through the difficulties so kudos to them and it shows that I will eventually get there too.

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

I do not give things up easily. When L33tz0r and I hit a rough patch and were going to part ways, I hung on and it paid off. Now I’m in a bit of a financial pickle and I’m not giving up, I’m working my little buns off and I am starting to see things turning around. Just gotta hang on a little longer and we’ll be back on track!!

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

I wish for an endless supply of chocolate. Yummmmmmmmmmmmm.

Still Alive!! September 9, 2007

Don’t worry!! I’m still alive and I haven’t forgotten about you!! I’ve been quite busy lately working all the time that I’ve hardly been on the computer at all … which is SO unlike me!! Now that I’ve gotten used to working every day of my life I am slowly finding the energy to get back to my blogging and blog surfing. Oh how I’ve missed it!!

I have a new blog on the go about Neopets. Well really it’s a sort of Neo help site but it’s been a good way for me to get back into the swing of blogging again by giving me something to write about. Since I left WoW I haven’t really had much to say *gasp*!

I’ve been trying to fill the gap in my life left by WoW with another game but to be completely honest, nothing really compares. I am currently on Day 2 of my free 14 day trial of Ultima Online and I am not really all that impressed by it. I HATE the camera angle and frequently try to scroll my mouse to change the view but alas, no luck. The game is over 10 years old so in that respect, it’s not horrible. I do like the ideas and everything behind it and as the original MMORPG, it really has alot of potential to drag me in if I can get past the things I don’t like. However, once my 14 day trial is up I really don’t think it would be worth my money to pay for it. Not with the current issues I have with it.

L33tz0r and I have both signed up for the Beta of Warhammer Online. It’s highly doubtful that we’ll both get it (or even one of us for that matter) but hey, might as well try. The release date isn’t until January and last night we were watching some of the videos for it on YouTube and discussing how much money we need to make by then to both have sparkly, new gaming PC’s. I am kind of partial to my laptop though, so I was thinking of a gaming laptop but L33tz0r explained that since there’s not alot of room for a cooling system you would never be able to have as powerful a system as you could with a desktop so there goes that idea. Another problem is that we’ll be moving to Canada next summer so that would be 2 PC’s we’d have to get over the ocean somehow. *Sigh*

Does anyone have any other good MMO’s they really like that they could recommend? I’d love to have a look at some others!
