The best adventure yet?

The first two months of the year went by in a blink, and here we are in March already. As usual I have been mostly working and not really had time for gaming, but I have been able to squeeze in a little WoW here and there. Only a couple of levels left and my DK will be max level. Then I'll finally be able to see what the Dragonflight content really is like.

On another note, one day I was cleaning at my parents house, and I found my old Tamagotchi that I used to love so much as a kid. Although, when I saw the thing again after so many years, I realized that it is not an actual Tamagotchi, but a similar virtual pet that is called Dinkie Dino, or RakuRaku Dinokun in Japanese. I found a lot of these on the internet, but very little actual info about the history of these things, so I can't say for sure if these were made by the same company as the Tamagotchis or not. Anyway, I wanted to start it up of course, and after a bit of disassembling and cleaning and thinking, it suddenly started working. It was super cool to see that little dino again after 20+ years, and I cared for it for a day or so, when suddenly it started randomly shutting off and on and finally dying completely... I guess after so many years you can't expect these old things to work perfectly. I am sure someone who understands electronics would be able to tell what the problem is, but that is not me unfortunately, I can only tell when something is clearly visibly broken or burnt and that's about it. So I was a bit disappointed of course, but I immediately went and bought three new ones on Ebay, hoping that at least one of them will work. I already know that they are not authentic ones, therefore the cheap price for the lot, but I don't really care as long as I have a working one. I will just keep the real Dinkie Dino safely in my collection, and play the fake ones instead, maybe that is for the best. Let's see what happens when they arrive..!

Another thing I'm looking forward to is the Diablo IV open beta weekend this month, it will hopefully be a great opportunity to try out the game. I can honestly say I have never actually played Diablo at all, so I thought this could be a great opportunity to try it out. Hopefully I'll also get some good content out of that weekend as well. Gotta go now, byebye!
