Curious creatures

I have unfortunately not had enough time for WoW this past week or so, but I just dinged lvl 113 last night. I am still enjoying the new content very much, and I also tanked my first dungeon a few days ago, and it actually felt pretty smooth. One of my friends has also started playing again in time for the new expansion, so I'll probably team up with her once she gets a little bit higher item level.

Another WoW-related thing I forgot to mention earlier, is that I managed to find that Long Forgotten Hippogryph I talked about a few posts ago. The thing was, I tried finding the crystals a few times, and I even downloaded a very helpful add-on, which showed the crystals possible spawning points on the mini-map. Finally I found my first crystal one day, when the BfA pre-patch had already hit. Unfortunately, my superb add-on didn't work since it wasn't updated for the pre-patch, so I had to bring up a guide map on my second monitor, and work my way forward with that... I have to say it wasn't the most convenient method, but I had no other choice. I managed to find all the crystals within a few hours, my hippogryph appeared, and I was most pleased. So now I have a fancy new mount to start off the new expansion with..!

I played some more Fire Emblem, and now it seems like I'm at the very last fight in the game. It seems like a pretty tough one, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to get through it with my current weapons, but let's hope it doesn't take too many tries. Besides Fire Emblem I have also played some more Age of Empires, and even a little bit of Warcraft III.

Now I'm probably going to continue with WoW, laterz..!

Grotesque

The summer is slowly coming to an end, and it seems like the worst is over for now. I'm only working one job right now, and have a little bit more spare time. Last weekend was amazing, when we went to a large music festival, and now I feel more relaxed than in a long time. The biggest news of course is that Battle for Azeroth is live, and yes, I have been playing. I have not had time for that much, but I have started questing on the new horde continent, Zandalar. I really like it so far, I have always liked the troll race, and the story line is quite intriguing. Another thing I like is the dinosaurs, up until now that has mostly been a Un'Goro Crater thing. But I remember reading some rumors a few years ago about a dinosaur-themed expansion for WoW, and although this is not actually the thing, I think it comes pretty close. There are a lot of things that doesn't belong in the WoW-universe, but I definitely think dinosaurs fit in perfectly.

Besides WoW I also had a little Age of Empires II-marathon with my SO the other day. It was really refreshing and fun, I used to play it so much as a kid. Now I have the HD edition on Steam. I got quite excited when I saw that Microsoft has officially announced the development of Age of Empires IV, but we have no release dates yet, or even any kind of game footage. Let's hope they do finish the game, and that it kicks ass as well.

I am still not finished with Fire Emblem, but I have played that very little lately. I kind of got stuck in a fight, and thought I needed to just give up, but I think I have found a solution to continue the game. There are only a few battles left, so I really want to push through..!

Now I'm going to continue with some WoW, let's see if this expansion is as good as I hoped it would be(or maybe even better?).
