So, today was my birthday, and I'm one year older again. It was a really nice day, thanks to my other half, who got me a very nice present. Now, most people would probably not understand this present at all, but for me it was golden. My very own Gameboy Advance. At some point a while ago I told him that I always wanted one when I was a kid, but never got one. I had the original Gameboy, and the Gameboy Color, so naturally I wanted a GBA as well. For my 11th birthday I got a Gamecube instead, so at that point I kind of forgot about the GBA.
Anyway, so I got it today, but naturally I don't really have any games yet. The only game I own for the GBA is Pokemon Ruby, which I bought as a kid and was able to play via the Gamecube with the Gameboy Player device. I also asked my little brother if he happened to have any GBA games, and he had only one, Happy Feet. So I borrowed it, and now those are the two games I have. Ofc I can play any of my old Gameboy games on it as well, but that's not why I wanted the console in the first place... Included in this birthday present is also a GBA game of choice, so I am going to have to do some research to find some good game that I want to play, and hopefully to a reasonable price. Old Nintendo cartridges can be pretty damn expensive in some cases...
Yeah, yeah. "Oh my god you can download pretty much any GBA game and play it on PC." Ofc I can do that. But that's just not the same thing as the real deal. This was a GREAT birthday present, that's all I have to say.
As mentioned, I don't really have anything to complain about so far. The quests haven't been too boring, and the zones are really beautiful. I have somewhat started to get the whole garrison thing, and it's not at all as corny as I imagined. The only thing I can complain about is that I haven't had more time to play since the launch...
It's Sunday evening and a new week is about to start. Yay, what a lovely feeling. About as lovely as getting hit by a car or kicked in the head. Since patch 6.0.2 hit I have been playing almost solely WoW. I finished the new quest hub in Blasted Lands in like an hour, I was a little bit disappointed about that there wasn't more quests. I have not done Upper Blackrock Spire yet, but I will before WoD hits. I have mostly been trying to do older achievements, mainly those connected to Loremaster. Someday I will get it. And I would already have completed Loremaster of Pandaria and Cataclysm if it weren't for all the goddamn bugs. I have a few quest lines left in both Kun-Lai Summit and Twilight Highlands, and at the moment I can't continue because of bugged quests. This seriously pisses me off, btw. I have confirmed that other players are experiencing problems with these as well, so it's not just me. I have submitted the bugs to Blizz, but who knows when anyone there will have time to correct something like this with the new expansion just around the corner. Crap, crap and crap. Here's a picture of Missy in Vashj'ir(I did some quests there today).
