Ah where to begin.....
Well how about with WoW. Hedana of course has been at level 60 for quite some time now. I recently switched her professions though. She is now working her way up the levels with her Herbalism and Alchemy skills. I'm still working on getting her into a guild that does some scheduled raiding. Although I'd settle for a guild that does some regular trips through Stratholme and Scholomance or even BRD so I can finish my MC attunement and the quests I have there.
Gnick in the mean time has made some serious progress. For those who don't remember, Gnick is my Gnomish mage. He's up to level 38 now. I'm currently torn between my desire to get his mount so I don't have to run everywhere and the idea of keeping him under level 40 for a while and grind away on battlegrounds to get him up to sergeant. I suppose I could keep him at level 38 for a while, at least until Hedana can make him some money for his mount. You have to love older siblings.
I'll just highlight some other games I've played recently. God of War for the PS2 rocks. That's all that needs to be said. Go buy it.
There are some pictures of my new PC in the Misc picture page. It's a dual core AMD. I wanted to upgrade the video card. This also required upgrading the power supply. So there are some before and after shots of the interior. I was thinking about adding another exhaust fan too, but so far it's been running fairly cool so I don't think I need to.
I've got a couple of demos that I need to try too, so i'll let you know how that goes.
Finally, since it's E3 week I thought I'd chime in on the next generation consoles. Personally I'm cheering for the PS3 for a few reasons.
First, I have a PS2 so the backwards compatibility appeals to me.
Second, the Xbox 360 is retarded. Limited backwards compatibility, no built in high definition DVD player and a reliance on Live titles. Don't get me wrong, I think the system will do ok. But I think they've backed the wrong horse in the HD-DVD vs Blueray battle and they will eventually have to concede and release an external Blueray player.
Third, the Nintendo Wii. All the jokes have been done about the name. It's great that they got a lot of press over the name, but I don't think making your system the butt of jokes before it's even released is a good plan. Sure the console itself looks interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about the new remote controller. To be honest I'll have to try it before I pass judgement on it. Honestly the biggest issue I've had with Nintendo over the years is backward compatibility (or rather the complete lack thereof) and the poor game selection.
To be honest I've become much more of a PC gamer over the years and play consoles less and less. The exception is my Gameboy Advance SP. You need something to do while you are on a flight from Auberdine to Theramore.
