The Cataclysm is nigh!

Well, at least in World of Warcraft the Cataclysm is nigh. In only about 7 hours, the long awaited new expansion, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm will be released and available to play. For those of us like me who are die hard WoW fans, and bought the Collector’s Edition, I will not be able to play until tomorrow, when it arrives at my doorstep via Fedex. However for those like Katie, they will be able to play at midnight, since they have already downloaded the content and are ready to play. I’m sure I will hear all about it, since she has already stated so.

In other news you’ll be able to play Bejeweled 3 as well tomorrow, which is another long awaited sequel. I know you’re addicted just like me. Don’t try to deny it.

What’s your game?

The cake is not a lie

I know this is nothing new or nothing Really cool, but I just wanted to point out the World of Warcraft achievement for the cake is not a lie. For those of you who didn’t know, it’s a reference to Valve’s awesome game called Portal, which is included in the orange box. The game is awesome. Cybrpunk told me I would Totally enjoy this game and he was Totally right. In fact, there’s even a song that’s Totally hilarious at the end of the game, called “Still Alive”. (video is after the bump) Very funny. Why do I bring this up? Because I got the achievment the other day, no big deal, and it’s ocb’s birthday, and she mentioned cake. So there you have it.

Yes, I know, I’m Really needing some quality posts.

Lazy Sunday

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.

TGIF

This week has been slow. I’ve been laid up in bed or on the couch resting because I feel sick or nauseous or both. Recovery is crazy from surgery. But I’m still doing a TGIF post today because it’s what I do and that’s how I roll.

I just want to remind everyone that next Friday is Free for all Friday, and if you’re not familiar with FFAF, it’s where you get to guest post on my blog. It’s fun, it’s a way to pimp your site, possibly get a couple new readers (or lose them! LOL). So look for it next Friday.

Cybr came to the dark side and re-activated his World of Warcraft account. Leveling is so much faster in that game now, and well, I think he’d love to see Outland. It’s pretty damn cool, and it’s a lot of fun. We’ll see how that goes.

Jen Totally made LOL when I read a post about what one of her co-workers did with her telephone. You should read it, Totally funny story! She’s too funny! And I’m so glad I know when she updates in my reader now!

It looks like Abraxus picked up Age of Conan recently and wrote a pretty good post about it. We’ve been considering picking it up. I think Meesh was Really curious about it, so I think we’re probably going to end up going to Best Buy this weekend and picking it up. Or she will and we’ll try it out. I doubt it will run on our laptops, but you never know! We do all our gaming on the laptops, perhaps it’s time to change?

Finally, girlrobot posted her friday links as usual and posted a picture of the most awesome tattoo I’ve seen in a while! Check it out!

Second Life

Ok, can someone shed some light on this for me? Yes, I understand the concept of Second Life. It’s like an interactive world where you can chat and hang out with your friends inside a 3D world. Yeah, it looks cool. But what I’m Really not understanding is pretty simple. What’s the goal of this? I don’t know why, but I just have this overwhelming urge to understand Second Life.

Now, honestly, I understand that you can set up shop, you can actually make real money from the game by selling goods, such as clothes (for within the game) and I guess there are other ways to make money, but I’m just not talented enough for that. I’ve explored a small part of the world, and I’ve even tried to participate with the whole CSI:NY mystery. Which was Really cool btw. Although I didn’t get very far.

I guess because I don’t know anyone inside Second Life, so it’s a bit tougher. I don’t make friends in those things too easy, only because there are so many jokers and losers out there who try to ruin the game for you. (ala World of Warcraft) But I digress.

There is also some humour out there too: Get a First Life. Now that is just hilarious. Go ahead, the link is real. It’s only one page.

So can someone help me out with Second Life? Should I just stick with my First Life?
