The World of Warcraft

January 04 2006

Things happen, and you end up with a copy of World of Warcraft, apparently.  I must say, even though I've only just begun, it is rather fun.  One day, I'll be able to join up with everyone else on the server that I know and go do stuff with them...  'Til then, I've got a long road ahead of questing and butt-kicking.


So, in other news, the Christmas "present" from EB (by present, I mean money obtained from workin' my arse off) I got is my new shiny Mario Kart DS.  It's red and has some Mario Kart decals on it, and it's friggin' awesome.  I think I may end up trying to get that new Electroplankon game comin' out next week; it's basically a game that allows for the creation of cool music and stuff.  It was one of the coolest things Nintendo had to show at E3 (much cooler than the GB Micro, to say the least).


Other Christmas l00t includes a LEGO rendition of the Millenium Falcon, Shadow of the Colossus, Guitar Hero, LEGO Star Wars, Trivial Pursuit stuff, d20 Modern stuff, and other stuff.  I thank the friends and family that bothered to get me stuff, 'cause, honestly, I really don't need much...well, the monitor my parents ordered for me as a month-late birthday present is highly appreciated, since doin' stuff on a television and not in high-def sucks unless you're playing Guild Wars, in which case it is okay.


It was most definitely good times having Clint back here.  Guitar Hero madness, DDR insanity, Rivergate Mall wandering, Moe's, Jason's, Panera, whatever it all was we were doin', it was grand to say the least.  If nothing else, he reminded me just how cool it is to play DDR in the arcade.


Speakin' of which, it was quite an experience.  I had someone there that was pretty much equal to me in skill, but superior in stamina compared to me.  Who was this contender?  An Asian kid no more than 10-12 years old.  I must say, he's pretty good; he ended up doing a better job of trying Paranoia Survivor than me, mainly because I was already winded from 2+ hours of previous play.  I also felt good to play Can't Stop Falling in Love Speed Mix on Doubles and pull off a B.  I just wish I could've started playing when I was his age (which, I really couldn't have, since DDR didn't even come out 'til 1998).  There's no telling how good at it I could be now if I did...  o_O


Poor Marissa, she somehow managed to bruise a part of her bum, enough to the point of keeping her sorta-bedridden for now...  *sigh*


Anyways, it's time to go to work.  Take it easy, everyone.  Clint, we've gotta have another day like yesterday.
