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!

Wish List

Christmas went by fast, I always love this time of year. It was a nice time spent with family and friends, and now we are already waiting for New Years Eve. Going a little too fast if you're asking me... I haven't really had any time off work this Christmas, but I have somehow managed to keep things from falling apart completely. I got a bunch of nice presents, some of which were gaming related. I got a super cool World of Warcraft pop-up book, and a big Lego figurine of the Lich King. Hopefully I have time to build it also, it seemed to have a lot of pieces.

I have been playing a bit of Dragonflight lately, I'm currently at lvl 64 with my DK. I can't say I dislike the expansion, I just think that I haven't really gotten a good grasp of it yet. I just need some more time to get used to everything, I am sure. I have only just entered the second questing zone. As I mentioned in some earlier post, in addition to the new continent Dragon Isles, there are also a bunch of UI things that have changed, as well as the whole talent system. So this expansion really rumbled things around. Lots of things to get used to. Especially for me, who has been playing only Classic for over a year now. So I think I have to play a bit more before I start talking about pros and cons.

I finally finished my Super Panda Adventures review, so now I can finally move on and pick some other game to play. I already bought some games on the Steam Winter Sale, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick one of those... I'll still let it be a surprise in case I change my mind though. I will also try to make at least one video out of this new game, I need to post something on the YouTube channel. Cya later!

Soft

As usual I have been extremely busy with literally everything lately, except playing games of course. I can probably count on one hand the times I have been able to log into WoW for this past month, so I can safely say that I have not been able to prepare for Dragonflight at all. Well, last night was the release here in Europe, and I just went to the Battle.net store and bought it. The ninth expansion I put my money on, I should really get a medal. Still disappointed that I can't have a physical copy, but pretty sure we won't see that phenomenon anymore. It would at least have felt like a little bit more, right now 50 euro feels too expensive and I'm pretty sure the previous expansion was cheaper. Anyway, I will soon find out if it was worth the price, I do have big plans on being able to boot it up later tonight. I will probably dedicate an entire post later on to this subject.

Another thing on the list of stuff I haven't done yet; write my Super Panda Adventures review. I have kinda finished the game already, but been way too busy otherwise. I also realized that I haven't uploaded any videos to the channel for quite some time, so I have to try to do that as well. I was thinking that the next game I pick up after Super Panda Adventures could have some playthrough videos or something. I have been trying really hard to organize things during the fall so that I could have a mildly stress-free December, but that plan hasn't really worked out perfectly. If I'm lucky though, maybe it will partly be true.

One thing that I could still mention, I have a new Advent calendar this year, and this time I mean a physical one. There was that one year where I made that Pokémon Advent calendar here on the blog, so I had in mind something similar this time, only with a real calendar. If I have time, that is. Maybe it will be a Christmas miracle?
