Subject To Change

Coffee and energy drink at the same time, what could be better and more healthier..? These last few days have been solely dedicated to WoW, since the pre-expansion patch was released just recently. I'm really starting to get hyped now, one month left and Legion will be live. The new transmog tab is awesome, makes looking good so much easier than before. Some stats have been removed, so it looks a bit empty in the character tab at the moment. Now you can also switch freely between all the different specs of your character, which is VERY convenient in my opinion. Sooo, there has been a lot of small changes, and so far I haven't really found anything too bad or annoying.

There is one shitty thing though, and that is the fact that I did not have time to level my mage before the pre-expansion patch. From what I have read, scrolling through forums, you can not obtain Quintessential Quintet during this patch. I'm not 100% sure yet, and I guess I'll level that mage anyway, but most likely I will not get that achievement this expansion. Oh well, more leveling in Legion then I suppose... Damn it.

A lot of character abilities have been changed or removed, and I have to honestly say that I haven't really had a proper look at the new blood DK "rotation" yet. I also need to have a look at my talents, since they are reset as usual. There will be a lot of timewalking up until Legion, so I'll probably run a few of those dungeons with the DK. Otherwise I'll probably just level my mage, and have a look at other minor things that need to be taken care of before the new expansion. Yeah, that's the plan.

Join me in death?

Yup, I had a little break again. I'll have you know that a lot of weird things has happened in the past month or so, and I haven't had time to play almost anything. I'm not going to explain anything any further, but let's just say it has been very heavy for most of the time. I guess things are starting to get a little bit better now, and it's a good sign that I have had some time and energy for games these lest few days.

I did finish Postal 2 some time ago, yey me. Another game that I can actually say that I played all the way through, there's not too many of those. A grand finale it was, and I do encourage people to play it if they haven't already. I have also finally decided which WoW-character I'll be leveling, I'm going with my mage. The reason for this is mainly because he is on a server where I don't have any other max level character yet, and it's always good to have a few different options. Now I have about a month and a half to get this guy to level 100, and then that pesky achievement will be mine. I haven't gotten further yet than building my garrison, but it's a good start. I just need some more time to play, and then I'll be sorted.

Today I decided to play some more The Darkness II, and I actually got quite far. I am really enjoying it this time around, I love the game mechanics and the atmosphere even more now. I do have the same style of playing as the last time though, I like to put most of my talents in the weapon section, which means I like to rely on shooting everything instead of using the demon arms. Don't get me wrong, I do use the arms to execute enemies once in a while, but mostly I'll just shoot em' up. I don't remember exactly how long the game was, but I guess I'm somewhere about half-way through right now.

Yeah btw, I did go and watch the Warcraft movie. I have to say, it was not as bad as I expected. I can say that it wasn't really anything too spectacular, but I'll gladly watch it again sometime later. I left the theater fairly satisfied, and I didn't feel like I had wasted my money or anything. If I would have to give it a number, I would maybe say 7.5/10. Acting was good for the most part; to be honest I didn't really feel like the guy who played Khadgar was fit for his role, but it didn't really ruin the movie anyway. I think Legendary did a good job, and I'm waiting for the next movie. Go and watch it people, if you haven't already..!

Endless nights

It went from hot as hell to cold and gray astonishingly fast. The summers in this country never fails to amaze me. It has been a good reason to stay inside and play though. I have been working some more on my DK's gear, just to feel better when Legion is released. My shaman is now level 100, but I'm having trouble deciding on which character to level next. I have a level 90 mage which I kind of would like to play, but then there is that level 82 paladin that also would be fun. I really have to decide soon, to make sure I don't miss out on this achievement before Legion.

I don't have much left on Postal 2, so I'll probably finish that sometime this weekend. It has really been a fun ride, can't believe I haven't played it before. I also decided to pick up an old game that I played a lot in 2012 when it was released, The Darkness II. It's a FPS adventure based on a comic, where you play as a Mafia boss who possesses demonic powers. Sounds fun, eh? I really fell in love with the game when I first heard about it, and on my first playthrough I actually played as far as the last chapter I think. I know I rarely finish games, so it wasn't a surprise that I dropped it before the end, but this time I really want to play all the way through. When I played this in 2012 I wasn't really a particularly skilled FPS player yet, so I remember struggling a bit, but this time around it feels just right. Good to know that I actually have improved some over the years.

Now the Warcraft movie is in cinemas as well, so I have to pick a day to go and watch it. I'll be sure to mention later on if it was good or bad...
