Spare me

Now I have finally had some more time for gaming, and the first thing I did was catch up on the events in WoW. The 15th anniversary event has been going on since November, but only now I had time to start really looking into it. There are three "raids" that you can enter, where you battle old raid bosses from the past. I got the achievement for doing all three of them, but apparently they drop quite nice loot too. This made me a bit sad, because you can only do these raids once a week, so that means now I could only do them once before the event ends on Wednesday. If I knew about this in November I could have had the chance to get so much nice gear... Well that's too bad, I suppose I wouldn't have had time for it anyway. Also, after the last boss in the third raid(Ragnaros), I got a very nice weapon that totally replaced my old one: Sulfuras, the Extinguished Hand. It is scaled to BfA and is itemlevel 430, so I'm very happy with this one at least. Along with the achievement for these raids you also got a very cool Deathwing mount, the Obsidian Worldbreaker.

Then there was also a battleground achievement, where you can enter Alterac Valley of Olde, which means the way it was in Vanilla. Here you also get mounts, Frostwolf Snarler for the Horde, and Stormpike Battle Ram for the Alliance. For the achievement you had to run the battleground several times to gather 200 Timewarped Badges, I ended up going 9 times before I got it. The anniversary event also had some other features, like world bosses, but unfortunately I didn't have time to look into these any further.

So this was basically the start of 2020 for me, could have been worse I guess... I'm not sure if this is going to be a good year or not, but let's hope I have time for some games at least. Here is a pic of the Obsidian Worldbreaker mount.

Another Christmas just flew by, and I can tell you it was a stressful one. Not actual Christmas Eve though, that one turned out to be very lovely and relaxing, but the weeks before Christmas were quite something. Schoolwork up to the ears, Christmas presents and decorations that needed to get done, actual work, cars that urgently needed fixing... I almost didn't make it, but most things turned out okay in the end anyway. Now we're waiting for New Years Eve, and this time we also start a whole new decade. I just can't believe it has already been 20 years since the new millennium started.

As you can understand, I have barely had time to start any game at all for weeks. Right after Christmas Eve I started playing WoW again, and this time, I'm returning to Battle for Azeroth. I just started missing my DK, and I thought I would jump in again and finish quest lines and raids before it's too late(talking about upcoming Shadowlands, of course). Right now I'm finishing the War Campaign, and it has been a very interesting story so far.

I don't really have much more to say, it has been chaotic for a while now. But after New Years Eve, it seems like I'll be having at least a few days of pure me-time, so I'll probably be stuck to the computer then. One game that I have been promising myself I'll play during the holidays, is The Outer Worlds. I watched a little bit of gameplay, and I fell in love instantly. So much Fallout-vibes there..! There is no way I'll let this kind of game pass me by, I really believe I'll have a review up by the end of the holidays. Until then, cya..!

Little green men

This month has been flying by, and I haven't really been able to play as much as I planned. It started off with my birthday though, which was awesome..! One of the gifts I got was a really cool Sylvanas statue, which I have been eyeing for some time already but never had the money to buy. We usually keep most of the gaming merch in our dedicated room, but this one is now directly above my computer on a shelf. Another thing worth mentioning is that we went to a gaming event called GameXpo last week, where they had some merch for sale, tournaments and stuff like that. It was a lot smaller than I had expected, but it was still fun. We watched some PUBG games, where they had this big stage built with 100(?)computers, and you could just sign up to go play there, while the whole thing was shown on a big screen. There was also a cool arcade gaming area with lots of old coin-operated gaming machines, and we spent some time over there. It of course costed money to buy the coins, so the gaming time we had was very limited. But we got to try out a few cool games, like Street Fighter II, Gorf and Bubble Bobble. I really liked this, it would be cool to have a machine like these at home some day...

I haven't really progressed that much in WoW, although I managed to gain a few levels and find new places to quest. First I did some quests in Thousand Needles, and then I ventured through Kalimdor to get to Desolace, where I'm currently questing. I just wish I had more time for this, and what's even worse is the fact that I'm starting to miss Battle for Azeroth too. I can barely find time for one WoW, certainly not two... I have also made small progress in Super Mario Sunshine, I am quite confident I'll get a review finished on that one before the end of the year. Then I also found out about this cool game built on the Doom-engine, called Chex Quest, which I'm pretty sure is my next project when I have time. But Christmas is getting closer all the time, and I have so much to do both in school and at home, so I have no clue when I have time to start this one.

Now I have to start making myself ready, got a birthday coffee thing to attend. Bye..!
