into the bug
Still fighting off a cold, I feel like ive been sniffiling for weeks now. Work is good, not much happening there, the same old really. Going to Pittsburgy this friday to give presentation for American Eagle, that should interesting, I'll see if I can russle up some 3xls or something, doubtful.
A few weeks back at one of our open houses, a daughter of one of our ladies here that works the lab said to me "hey aren't you the guy that plays games on thursday nights?". Her mother is always trying to get me to go swing dancing on thursdays and I always said "hey now, i gotta go game baby!". Anyways, struck up a conversation with her daughter on the issue, apparently she's a die hard starcraft/diablo fan herself. You may see her pop up at game night sometime, she was really interested in seeing how it worked, a lan party. Course i told her its not really that, its 4 guys and 4 pcs, troy from home etc.. but was still intrigued. I think its amazing that starcraft is still played... lol.
So as far as games goes, yes AC2 has sucked me in. Its not as addictive as EQ though (thats what i keep tellin myself) but its fun. Going for the pure elementalist route has been exciting with Alt though he's been seriously powerleveled. What can I say, sheer power is fun in a virtual world but it makes for a 13th lvl newbie in a world of 40th lvl mobs. Taking time out to find the fear and explore again takes some time. At 25th lvl alot of quest barriers open up to ya, and you get sucked into all kinds of pickup groups doing six quests at once, sadly you dont get to actually learn about the quest untill.. well now i do them solo, lol. Ok well anyways, Alt is a trip at times.
