Well, I thought I’d have a good post today, but it seems like all I’ve been doing is literally sitting around playing World of Warcraft and watching my Japanese dorama. How exciting is this? Of course, I’m feeling a lot better since my surgery, and I’ve finally sort of got my appetite back. So I’ve been eating pretty well. I think the anesthesia effects are gone now, and that’s a good thing, I didn’t like those at all. It’s crazy that it spends so much time in my body even after I’m done with surgery.
I do have to admit though that the doctor knew what he was talking about when he said recovery would be a week. Holy crap, I thought I was stronger than this, but it’s taken this long to recover. I feel so weak.
Haven’t had a chance to check out Age of Conan yet. Probably will wait a bit more until I get better. I bet I’ll have to play it on my normal PC instead of the notebook, since my notebook doesn’t have a decent video card. From what I can tell you need a decent geforce or better card. Hmm I should have gotten the better video when I got this, but this laptop isn’t for gaming.











I know what it’s like. Recovery takes a while when it’s something serious. If it was just a common scrape or a bruise then it’d be different but you had an operation which required anaesthesia and that’s pretty hardcore.
Of course you have a younger face now so it was worth it.
It’s hard to use laptops for gaming. Unless you buy a mad laptop with crazy specs like the ones from Alienware.
I have a Dell XPS M1710 laptop with a 512MB video card and you know what? It’s still a laptop and it’s still exponentially slower than a desktop.
Oh and with AoC, did you know that it’s PvE only for the leveling (training as I understood it) and then it’s all PvP afterwards? You may want to check out some reviews of the whole game before you jump in. I’d rather play Guildwars since there’s no monthly fee and it seems a little similar.
You can go a long long way on the PvE Elements before you ever need to enter the PvP area though. They encourage PvP beceause it’s “In the Spirit” of Conan. You know…where death lurks down every shadowed alleyway. That sort of thing.
And blast you for talking about WoW. I gave it up a year ago and now I am almost waffling on getting back into it.
@colin yeah laptops for hardcore gaming is horrible. but I play world of warcraft and sims2 just fine with my laptop. :D
@cybrpunk hmm I guess I’ll have to take a look. of course, I bet guild wars doesn’t have the finishing moves and such that conan has. :P
@abraxus lol join us! lothar server horde side. if you got to alliance side i have players too but i don’t play those nowadays.
Glad you are feeling better. I’m lucky I have not had a surgery since I was a little kid.
