Lost in a virtual world

So for the past few months I’ve been beta testing World of Warcraft.

Even though Blizzard has made every effort to make the game ‘casual gamer friendly’ I still can’t seem to play it casually. In fact, I’ve pretty much lost myself in their world for quite some time: its that compelling. I expect the FDA to get involved and classify it as a narcotic once it releases.

When not in WoW, I’ve been tinkering in City of Heros. I think of this as a ‘lite’ MMRPG, though in truth I may be doing it a disservice in saying so. I so enjoy creating characters (the titular heros) that I’ve gotten none of them anywhere above ‘newbie’ so it may get more complex farther in.

E3 has come and gone and I haven’t really sifted through the news yet. I’m going to attempt some semblance of balance between gaming and life and hopefully that’ll free up time resources to catch up on news and such.

Long stretch of silence

So yeah, I’ve been just ever-so-slightly addicted to World of Warcraft for the past few weeks. I play it at night, I play it before work in the morning, I play it all weekend long…

So no posts. In fact I play it so much that I gave up on writing about it, even! Gillain got ‘locked’ though so his journal had to end.

Anyway, I’m going to try to be better and at least get some blog entries going again….
