Yesterday I managed to do a long WoW-marathon, and play almost the whole day. As a result, my warlock is now also level 80, yay..! Then I started pondering my next move, meaning what I still want to do in WoW before the next expansion in March. A part of me just wants to leave retail for a while, and go back and play Classic. But then I also started thinking about that damn Loremaster achievement, that I still haven't been able to finish during these 16 years that I have been playing... The problem is, every time a new expansion is released, the Loremaster achievement has gotten one additional subcategory that you have to finish. And these have kind of just kept on piling up over the years. So what I have unfinished at the moment are the quests from Shadowlands, as well as a good amount in Kalimdor. But if I start with this now, I am unsure if I will be able to make it before the next expansion. And then I suspect there will be more content added to the achievement again... It is a vicious circle.

Anyway, I will probably play some more WoW today later on. I am also thinking about what other game to pick up and try to play through, the Christmas holiday is traditionally a time when I am able to play a bit more than usual. I will try to decide today. Laterz!

The Business Bitch

Would you look at that, it has only been 10 months since my last post! Remarkable. But on the other hand, it will be easy to sum up anything gaming-related that has happened during that time into this one post. As usual I have been playing WoW whenever it has been possible. I actually bothered this time to complete some content after max level with the DK, and I am leveling my warlock at the moment, hoping to hit max level with him as well before next expansion. And speaking of next expansion, we just got the date for that, March 2nd. If everything goes as I have planned, I have reached lvl 80 with the warlock before that, and maybe even had time to jump back into Classic for a while. Who knows, miracles happen all the time.

In August I visited Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. It was a really cool experince, and I could very much see myself going there some other year as well. One thing about Gamescom though is the amount of people there. We went on Friday, which maybe isn't the most crowded day of them all, and it was jam-packed everywhere. Also Koelnmesse, where the fair is held, is an enormous place, so if you want to see most of the halls, there will be A LOT of walking. So be prepared and wear good walking shoes! Even though I was wearing decent shoes that day, I still had to sit down on the floor for a while to rest my poor feet. But besides that, there were so many cool booths to visit and stuff to look at, it was well worth it anyway. Of course I saw the WoW booth in one of the big halls, unfortunately there wasn't any program when we walked by. If I return to Gamescom some other year, I would need to plan the visit beforehand a lot more than I did this time. It is just such a huge event with so many people, that the whole "just strolling around" mentality doesn't really work.

Other than this, I have been playing various games on and off, most recently I started playing some Pokémon Arceus again on the Switch. I am going to take a few days off work around Christmas, maybeee I would have time to play through some other game then. We will wait and see. Also, I am going to try my hardest to make a new post a bit more often than 10 months apart, heh. Here is a picture from Gamescom and the WoW booth.
