Old School Hollywood

Been playing WoW now for a few days, leveling my warlock, and I finally just hit 110..! So, it only took me about a year and a half... This is what happens when real life gets in the way of your Azeroth master plans. Oh well, I'm just glad we're not at the next expansion yet. By the way, I don't think I have talked about that earlier. So Battle for Azeroth is the name, and there is not really any exact release date yet, but it seems like the latest possible day for this would be September 21st. As usual, I'm really excited about this one, but I'm just a little afraid that I will have even less time to play than during Legion... Which makes me really sad, but let's not talk about that now. So, Battle for Azeroth will bring the level cap to 120, bring six(!) new playable races to the game, new zones for both factions, and a new RTS-style game mode called Warfronts. All of this sounds really exciting, and I am of course going to continue playing WoW and try out this expansion as well. Meanwhile I just want to continue with Legion, there is still sooo much that I have left to do.

Otherwise I haven't had time for a lot of other games, I have played quite a bit of Fire Emblem though. Right now I am in the middle of a bigger battle, and I'm not sure exactly at which stage in the story I am. The main character told me before the fight started that this was the final one, but that seems a bit weird since that would make the game pretty short..? I could of course google this and see if it really is true, but I'll just see what happens and keep it a surprise. Maybe it is a short game, or maybe there is more fighting after this battle, I'll keep you updated about that.

I finished my RAGE review as well, so that's one thing off the checklist. Now I still have a couple of other game reviews in progress, and if I soon finish Fire Emblem, that would be a third one. I hope I'll have time to finish those soon, but unfortunately I think everything school-related will take more and more time as we get closer to summer. Let's just hope I'll not crash before that. Cya!

Dirt

Unfortunately I have had zero energy these last few weeks, so I haven't done a lot more than sleep and eat. I have played some WoW and some Overwatch though, but not too much. I'm just trying to keep my head above water right now, feels like I'm drowning most of the time. Just going all poetic and shit here.

Anyway, as soon as I'll start feeling better I have a lot of stuff in store. I'm currently in the middle of at least three new reviews, a couple of videos, and also a new weekly section for the blog. I'm very excited for all of this, believe me, but at the moment I don't have the time or energy. For example, I have been trying out this pretty interesting indie horror game called Dead End Road, where you drive around at night encountering weird and scary things. It's not a particularly long game, so I'll have that review done soon, hopefully.

I have also played some more Fire Emblem, the fights are getting a bit more complicated at this point. It's still a lot of fun though, I think I won't have any problems finishing this one. I haven't checked how long the game actually is, so I don't know at all how far in I might be at the moment. Most of my time has been spent with Overwatch, and the Lunar event just started. I have to say though, I'm a little bit disappointed of the play mode in this event. Capture the Flag doesn't really work with the Overwatch heroes, they are all far too different from each other. There are a few heroes that excel in this, and everyone else doesn't stand a chance.

I need to go to bed now, have a lot to do tomorrow. I actually have a week off from school, but instead of resting, I feel even more stressed out about a million things I need to get done. Frickin' great, isn't it?

Open 24 hours

I managed to survive New Years Eve, and here I sit again. The weather was nice and cold for a few weeks, and now it's back to this grey and muddy shit again. Oh well, at least we had a little bit of proper winter. I even had time to go ice-skating..! School has started again of course, and it seems like I'm going to have to work my ass off again, almost like last period. I hope I'll make it through somehow, I feel so tired already.

I have been playing more WoW and Overwatch as usual, and some Zelda. In Wow I decided to do some achievements and raid a little bit, and I also continued with leveling my warlock. Last week patch 7.3.5 was released, and I haven't really had time yet to explore the new stuff. Scaling world zones, Ulduar timewalking, and a new questline is something I can look forward to.

I have also played some Fire Emblem on my phone, through a GBA emulator of course. In the summer I bought this used Fire Emblem cartridge on eBay, and it worked just fine when I first tested it. It didn't take long before I realized the saving feature was broken, so you can play the game but never save your progress... I really enjoyed it though, so I decided I might just as well emulate it and play it anyway. It doesn't seem too difficult just yet, but I'm only in the beginning, so let's see what happens.

I guess I'll keep it kind of short today, I should really go to bed now since it's very important that I show up at school in the morning for a group assignment. I have been extremely tired lately, so waking up in time is a really big challenge right now. It's just the winter kicking in again, I shouldn't be surprised anymore.
