So, I spent a good chunk of my weekend playing World of Warcraft – something that hasn’t happened in a really, really long time. I have to admit, the new Death Knight class is mostly responsible – well, that and the fact that I have a character who is actually making money for a...
I have been playing Wrath for a couple days now, and I have to admit – Blizzard has done some pretty nifty things. Some examples come from the Death Knight starting area and quests. The Eye. The Eye quest lets you take a giant floating eye for a ride down to spy on...
So – I got and installed The Wrath of the Lich King. I must say, so far, it’s pretty freaking cool. Meet Kurmudgeon: Kurmudgeon is a level 55 Death Knight (they start at level 55). His story is a simple one in that he doesn’t really have one. I needed an alt and I’d...
So, I’m confused by Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Both the movie and the new Cartoon Network TV show. Okay – Episodes 1 – 3 were about making George Lucas tons more money. As a side note, they were also intended to show us the descent of Anakin Skywalker from annoying little child savant...
Ventured out this morning to check out the new James Bond flick. I hit the 10:45 show and was surprised to find the theater pretty well full! I was looking forward to both the flick and the trailers, as I haven’t been to the movies in a bit. One of the online articles I...
One week before Halloween, I went looking for some Halloween stuff for work. We were doing this decorating thing, and I wanted to contribute more than my height (“Oh – Patrick! You’re tall – see if you can put this up…”). Anyway, I hit a couple of places where I thought I would find...
Weird things happen from time to time. Recently, the blog has had some weirdness in that I lost several posts that I’d done and published and there’s this strange character showing up in old posts – like an ASCII character that’s showing up because it found something strange that it didn’t like. Not sure...
I’ve been reading the Dresden files for a while now, so I’m really hooked. “Blood Rites” is by no means the latest book in the series, it’s simply the latest one I’ve read and I really liked it. Harry Dresden: Wizard. That’s what the sign says and that’s exactly what Harry is – a...
Day four started just about the same as Day Three – I overslept. I have an alarm on my iPhone that’s set for daily – I forgot that doesn’t include Saturday – it’s just Monday through Friday, so it never actually went off this day. D’oh. I had people calling me early though, so...
Blizzcon. Wow. What an event – it was Huge. And so many people! I started my day later than I planned due to the night before. I was to meet Hukari as I had his pass and he couldn’t get in without me. Only, I couldn’t find him. Candice found me almost immediately, and...
Day Two dawned slowly… I really didn’t want to wake up early, and yet, I did. We had plans. Plans of planned things. Plans of things to do and be done. So, I woke up, showered and shaved and headed out for the day. First up: BREAKFAST WITH MONKEYS! After breakfast, Disneyland! I admit,...
Okay, now that I’ve settled in, I want to talk about my vacation. It’s going to be in multiple parts as I think this is the only way to do it without an endless rant of paragraphs. Day one was all about traveling. Woke up not so early – it was nice to sleep...
