Standards

Yeah, so I have been kind of sailing through the summer here and not really had much time for games... I managed to get to max level with my DK in retail WoW, so that was one good thing. Afterwards I started feeling a bit empty though, and I realized I missed classic WoW. So now I have been playing that for the most of the summer, trying to get to level 80 there with my priest.

I have been pondering all summer if I should buy Diablo IV or not, and so far I have not really decided. Seeing how little time I have to play it right now, it would feel a little silly. I'm also kinda waiting for the small possibility that it would be on sale at some point, but knowing Blizzard that's probably not gonna happen any time soon. I also remembered I still haven't finished that video I was gonna make from the open beta in the spring... Meh, I'm probably going to upload it anyway when I get it done, I don't care that the beta was ages ago.

I just played some AoE II again after quite some time, always nice to return to that game. I played a standard game this time, just to unwind a little bit, but I noticed there is still quite a lot of the campaigns that I haven't played yet. Guess I would need to do that also, on top of everything else.

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!
