Blogging

Hey! Writing again! New Blog, first post!

Writing for me is very therapeutic, but it is usually pretty difficult to come up with post ideas. Anyone reading this may have followed my previous blog and saw how random it was. This time around, I'm going to focus on one subject: Games. (And, less bad language!)

I am a Gamer Geek. Always have been, always will be. Now, I've never considered myself to by really hard core; I rarely go out and buy new release games. I rarely play games that are the current fad. In fact, I don't actually play all that many games at the age I am now...but games still are a HUGE factor in my life. From World of Warcraft (which is my current addiction) to 8-bit Nintendo to Dungeons and Dragons to Monopoly to ping-pong. I f***ing LOVE games! I love the rules and structure involved, and using those rules to play the game to its fullest. I even like LOSING at games, especially close games. It's one thing to get totally destroyed against a far superior opponent (Call of Duty), but to have a player of similar skill to yourself and have real competition... That's what's fun for me.

Anyway... on to some content!

Warcraft is my current addiction... and I really don't see anything unseating it from the champion spot. To me, it really is the best game ever made. I love a game that I can play a character, level that character up, have choices in how I level the character... plus have so many other things I can do if I get tired of leveling! I never do raids or any of the end game content... I've been playing for a year now, and only have one level 80, which I haven't played on in months, for the purpose of starting up a new stable on a new server. A couple of hours a week is about all I'm able to dedicate to the game, which is fine by me, as there is so much to do with the family and teaching the kids some of the games that i've played and loved over the years.

What I am working on now in the game is an Enhancement Shaman, with the intent of attempting to soloing instances. I've had the idea in my head for awhile, and Shamans are a class that can handle most anything, and have great armor. I refuse to play a paladin, at least for now, since the only horde group that can run Pally are Blood Elves, and that's just generic. Never liked picking the class that everyone else plays, and there are far too many Pally's in the world for my taste. So, Shammy it is! Only level 7 right now, Ghornik the Orc is rocketing thru the starting zone, to get into Ragefire Chasm. I will attempt it first at level 15, and will Auction House the best armor I can find, and ship it to my Enchanter (Nikodhemus, Blood Elf Warlock)first to pump it up a bit to give me the best chance of success. The next challenge is to find the time to run it! HA!

Ok, that'll do for an opening post... I hope to write something a couple of times a week, just keep things about games, and see how it turns out.
