Sara's Mask

This month has gone by both really fast and really slow, but I have made a little bit of progress with certain things. I finally have the Pathfinder part 2 achievement, so I can fly in BfA zones. My night elf priest is currently level 118, so I am very close to my third fully leveled character. The fact that Blizzard extended the 100% experience buff up until next expansion is really helping at the moment. One thing that I am not sure about is how leveling is going to be in Shadowlands. As far as I understand, all the old starting zones for different races will be changed to something new, and from level 10 and forward you can go to pretty much any zone from any older expansions for leveling, since the quests will scale to your current level. Also, the max level will be scaled back to level 60. I don't know what to think about this, it feels like a lot of changes at once. I mean, I have always been okay with some things changing each expansion, but this feels like too much maybe. I kind of get the max level scaling, because we are already at the eighth expansion of WoW and level cap is getting quite high. Don't know about the leveling thing though, it sounds like a lot of things from "old" WoW will disappear. But there's not much I can do about it, so I'll just have to go along with it and hope it's good after all.

I also finally published my review on The Outer Worlds, and uploaded one of the two planned videos. I also booted up this old game I used to play a lot as a kid, James Pond 2. It was released on a lot of different platforms, but I used to play it in DOS, so that's the version I'm sticking to. It is a really cool platformer, with very colorful and vibrant levels. I recorded some material from it, so if I have time I'll post a review and maybe some short video later.

Otherwise I have mostly been at work or doing school stuff, I still have a lot to do before I can graduate. I'm not sure how I'll be able to pull these last things together, but let's just hope for the best. Laterz!

Give me a reason

It's already been a few weeks since I finished The Outer Worlds, and I can say that it was a great game all the way to the end. It felt a little bit too short though, but I guess you can't have everything. I think it has a decent replay value, but for now I'll concentrate on other games, and also getting the videos and the review done. I might have time for that next week, let's see. I have also been playing WoW, I am very close to the Pathfinder achievement now, only need a little bit more rep with The Unshackled. I also finally managed to get my warlock to level 120, so now I have that out of the way.

I immediately started leveling my night elf priest, so now I get to see the alliance side of Battle for Azeroth. So far it has been quite interesting, and I don't think it will be too long before she is level 120. After that I am not sure which character to level, I have a few different options that I have to consider later. I also started playing another game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I got interested in it a while ago while listening to a podcast, and I really wanted to try it out. It seems like I got the wrong impression of it from the podcast, because it's not really what I thought it would be. It is very historically correct, that is true, but I did not expect it to be so very story driven. I had more of a "medieval simulation" in mind, where you just run around town doing normal peasant stuff. But I have been enjoying the game a lot, while at the same time being angry with it a lot. I still feel like I want to continue playing it though, so maybe there will be a review on it sometime, let's see.

I think the next few weeks will be quite full with school work, so I have no idea how much time I'll have for gaming. If everything goes as planned I will be done with school sometime in the summer, so I just have to make this last push, and then I can finally relax for a while. Here is a screenshot from Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

I have had a very stressful month as usual, but there has been some time for gaming. Mostly The Outer Worlds, but also some WoW. In The Outer Worlds I am getting closer to the end all the time, and I have also tried to record some video material along the way. I am planning to upload at least two videos at some point, let's see when I'll have time to edit them. I haven't even had time to write my Super Mario Sunshine review yet, even though I finished that game months ago. I have, however, managed to upload all the videos that I had material for, so that's one positive thing I guess.

A few days ago I finally managed to loot that plate dress that I was grinding for in WoW, so now Missy looks more fabulous than ever. Now I can return to current content again, which means patch 8.3, Visions of N'Zoth. This patch was actually released two months ago, but I have simply not had time to dive into it before now, mostly because I have been playing The Outer Worlds so much. I did the first part of the introductory quest line, and now have access to the dailies in Uldum. I also did some leveling with my priest, Blizzard has added a 100% leveling bonus until April 20th(because of the Corona virus, ofc). This was really needed right now, I hope it will help me push through these last levels so I could finally have two level 120's.

Even though school is closed for now, it sadly doesn't mean I would have less schoolwork. I also work at a place that most likely won't shut down during this whole Corona thing, so while a lot of people have time to sit and play now, I don't. Well, I guess things could be worse, I shouldn't complain. Now it's time for bed, tomorrow is going to be a long day again. Bye.
