Cheese and cheese

Sooo, the whole summer has almost passed already. I have been busier than ever, and I can say that there has been fairly little gaming going on. Mostly it has been WoW of course, but I also managed to finish my Yakuza 0 game and write a review. So at least some small thing has been accomplished. This also means that I get to pick a new game from all the hundreds of unplayed games in my library. Just haven't figured out which one yet.

We also got a date for WotLK Classic now, it's September 26th. Waaaaay too early for me, I had a slight panic attack. I am currently at level 56 though, and we have also now received a traditional pre-expansion XP buff, so I will hopefully reach max level before the release. I had hoped to achieve this way before WotLK Classic, so that I could have time to play some Shadowlands in between, but that seems to not be the plan anymore.

Well, at least there hasn't been any exact date for Dragonflight yet, just that it will be before the end of the year. They can take how much time they want, I will allow this. It would be super if it would release somewhere close to Christmas, so I could maybe use the holidays to play properly. But we'll see how that turns out later, now I have to go, byebye!

The downfall

So, I just watched the announcement video for the next WoW expansion, and I just have to talk about all of this. First of all, we have the next new expansion, Dragonflight. I have always liked the dragons in every way, so for me this was a pleasant surprise. The Dragon Isles seemed very nice, and offered quite the standard set of zones that we are used to see. There will be a new race, the Dracthyr, which I wasn't too excited about, since I think we have enough races already. They will also do a complete overhaul on the UI, as well as making changes to professions and talent trees. Overall I got a good feeling from the reveal, and I think I will enjoy the next expansion even more than Shadowlands.

Then we got another announcement, which really wasn't a big surprise, but just felt kind of overwhelming at this point; Wrath of the Lich King Classic. I was so nostalgic watching that trailer, just because it feels like some kind of loop is closing up. Since WotLK is the expansion where I started playing WoW over 12 years ago, all of this just brought up so much. I knew this was coming, but I'm worried it is too soon for me personally. I have been working so hard to level my BCC character to max level, while also wanting to go back to Shadowlands at the same time. Now we have these two expansions coming up, and I just feel like I'm not quite ready for any of them. WotLK Classic is scheduled for this year some time, so I suppose I still have to continue leveling my BCC priest so that I could at least be max level when the time comes. Since Dragonflight didn't have a release date yet, I am assuming it will be pushed to next year, or at least to the very end of this year. That maybe gives me a bit more time to go back and play some more Shadowlands later on in the fall.

I also have to say that I picked up Yakuza 0 again after a few months break, and now I have gotten as far as the final battle. This seems to be quite a tough one, so I'll see when I have time to go through with it, but after that I can finally write the review I was talking about earlier. I am already excited to pick up a new game after this, haven't decided yet which one though. Well, gotta go now, it's May Day evening today.

Tutti-frutti

February went by extremely fast and now it's March already. A lot of stuff has happened in just a few months. First of all, I'm starting a new job on Monday, and I honestly don't know what to expect. I will probably have just as little free time as before, but hopefully I won't be as exhausted after each workday as I have been so far. I really can't tell yet, so we'll see I guess...

I have mostly been playing WoW again, getting closer to level 50 now. I am currently questing in Searing Gorge, but soon I have probably done all the quests there as well. I actually managed to make a video of my solo run in Shadowfang Keep, and it is already uploaded on the channel. I thought I really needed to make a WoW-related video, it has been far too long since last time. It also seems Blizzard is going to announce the next WoW-expansion on April 19th. Of course I'm excited, and I also hope I could have time to go back to playing retail again. It just seems leveling to 70 in BCC has taken me an extremely long time(it has), but I wouldn't want to "give up" at this point anymore. I'm getting this priest to 70, and that's it. It's just soo slow, especially when I don't really have time for those really long gaming sessions anymore.

Oh well, it's not like I can do much about how things are at the moment, so I'll just try to roll along and not go completely insane. The situation in the world right now(Slava Ukraini!)makes everything heavier, and it raises a lot of questions and uncertainty. Anyway, this day is full of stuff to do again, so gotta go now, cya laterz.
