Death comes in Threes

A pause in gaming.

This is so wierd. Of all the superstitions this one seems to come true the most often. A few hours ago I learned that Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett died. I told my wife I wonder who’s next before taking a shower and then a nap. I wake up and make a cup of coffee, enter my tokens for the WoW Mt Dew game then grab my keys. As I am taking my son to a friends house I hear on the radio that Michael Jackson is dead. I am in shock.

If its not true I still wonder who is next? The Grim reaper has a cruel sense of humor.

Sorry I had to blog this but im freaking out a bit. Maybe I made my coffe too strong.

It’s fun to be King for a day

I am talking about Father’s day. ;-) What did I do? I just wanted to stay home, play games and grill my steaks.

The fire festival started on WoW Father’s day and this really helps the alts move along. You get some nice exp tossing some torches and doing some torch catching.

I did entertain the idea of trying EQ2 again but the day before while shopping I went to 4 stores and none of them had a copy of The Shadow Odyssey. Why not activate my old account? I wiped my hard drive and reinstalled Windows. D’oh! I am not sure how to reinstall it back to the way it was? Do I just put in the original copy and patch for hours till its current?

The other reason to buy a new copy would be so I could create 7 new guys. Gosh I hope the new EQ2 expansion lets us make an extra character slot. I mean the game has been out for years I have friends on servers all over the place. To get the best bang for the buck it pays to have them all on one server. So new people returning to the game who want to join friends on other servers  get screwed by either having to pay to transfer, deleting old chars to make new ones, or forced to buy another copy of the game. This is madness! (insert Sparta quote here).

{Note to EQ2 devs. Let people make at least one character per server so we can have a chance to play with friends on all of your servers. Call it a teaser.}

I was gonna install Age of Conan but then I saw Openedge’s post about Patch 1.05 may launch Wednesday. Noooeesss! That means it might be a week or two more of making sure it runs silky smooth while they get the bugs out.

My turn yet?

Well summer is here. My kids who used to watch Dad play have gotten a year older and now play the games nearly as well as me and sometimes better.  As a result my game time is not what it used to be. Naturally they were at the Free Realms concert yesterday. Other games that have been keeping them busy include Wizard 101, Webkinz, FunOrb, Club Penguin, Runescape, AdventureQuest, World of Warcraft, etc..

So when I get my turn to play I catch up reading blogs, E3 info, and leveling WoW characters. Yes I could use another computer maybe 2 hehe, but I am going to wait until the new games come out that usually require better hardware.  

Games I would like to try this summer include Age of Conan, Vanguard, Warhammer Online, and TheSims 3.

Guild Wars 4 Year Anniversary

Zomg I almost forgot about this. I logged onto Guild Wars and picked up some new miniatures. I got the ugly but cute Dredge Brute, Quetzal Sly, and Dagnar Stonepate. You can read about them over at Guild Wars wiki. A great info site. Lots of other goodies happening there as well and the firework show is awesome.

Busy Busy Busy

Sorry for the lack of posts. As a true Altoholic things like new content , respecing talents over and over and special events keeps  me busy.  I am glad to be back with the Bloodriver gang over on Wyrmrest Accord. *waves*

There was some down time today on WoW. So I popped over to Lotro for a bit. Its free till the 30th. *D’oh looks at the calender.*  I play on four of the servers.

Brandywine, Firefoot, Landroval, and Windfola.

I would play multiple MMO’s but I don’t have time for more than one atm.  I do like how the pricing is for Lotro.  I wish more of the older games would have $9.99/mo  pricing.  Well the ones who could really use more population.

Especially Important During Tough Economic Times.

*Hops off to buy a Lotto ticket*

3.1 Tomorrow??

If you get a chance an are interested in 3.1 MMO-Champion has a lot of info about it. The general channel was buzzing about it. So i dropped by. I really like the video and there was another one showing the new T8 Armor sets. Sounds like a big patch so lets hope it goes well. Of course I doubt I will ever see any of it except on other players but thats ok. ;-)
