So I was going do a little bragging dance about how I got a Diablo 3 Beta key and all (yaay me!) but it turns out that my version crashes at the character selection screen.
My Diablo 3 beta experience is all in technical support right now. Which by the way has been pretty responsive.
Am hoping that I will get a chance to play…someday…before the beta is done. =(
<3<3<3 to my husband for getting me the beta key. <3<3<3
The single iPad in our house really belongs to my husband. This has never posed a problem, as I haven’t found much use for it. Then he shared Battleheart with me. This addictive little game is almost good enough to cause iPad fights.
Although Battleheart is a very accomplished game, the few items of great annoyance have tempered my addiction enough to save us from having to purchase iPad #2. =)
Lots of Words with Friends lately. Somehow a bunch of friends have found on me on the WWF. Or maybe the word has gotten around that I’m an easy win. I blame Facebook. =P
Thought I would share a few highlights.
One sort of strategy that I mostly aim for is trying to garner as many points for as few letters as possible (small words are flat out easier to find). Love the symmetry on the OX play and 54 points for two little letters. Not my move, but worthy of a mention, because really two letter move for 54 points!!!
Some of my favorite shorts have been “wit” for 48 points, ‘jam’ for 45, ‘chef’ for 76, and ‘goes’ for 63. Thats right people, not a single Q or Z to be found. =D
(more…)
I was fortunate enough to see the new Thor movie last Saturday. That’s right, five days early!! Husband job perk. =D
(Guess that technically makes this a preview, eh, whatever.)
Loved this movie. It managed to find that magic balance between action, computer graphics, humanity, romance, and humor. Yet its still Thor with all sorts of various Marvel nods. Even the lore was spot on (confirmed by my husband) according to the J. Michael Straczynski Thor storyline. (JMS is the guy behind Babylon 5!! <3 B5!)
It should be noted that this is still a Super Hero movie. Suspension of disbelief is a bonus, as is a tolerance for some cheesy moments. But Kenneth Branagh did such a fabulous job directing, the actors were spot on and well picked, the script was actually supportive of the story and the characters, that much of the Super Hero foibles of the past are handled with such grace as to render them inconsequential.
I finally figured out how some people manage to post daily, hourly, minutely. My husband went off to PAX East this weekend, which resulted in my productivity shooting through the roof. It was so quiet at night that I had nothing better to do than be productive. =D
So basically either I get to post like crazy or I get to keep my husband/life. Thankfully its an easy choice. Too bad blog, your short lived top priority spot has been filled with husbands and stuff.
On a side note, the husband gave a talk at PAX to a packed room. According to online comments, his discussion was really well received. I’m super proud of him. <3
Druid has made 85. Thanks to my lovely husband who gave me bonus WoW time this week. =D
But level 85 doesn’t mean I know how to heal yet. Much practice is still in need.
With the mana shortage and extra hitpoints, the healing game has changed. I’m just not used to the vast amount of manage management that is now required.
It was suggested to me to go practice in pvp battles, which I have found to be a great way to get a wide range of healing situations presented in quite a short amount of time. Certainly important to stay on ones toes.
The real bonus here is that if I’m healing I dont have to participate in any of the actual pvp stuff. Win win in my book. =D
So I have this friend, let’s call him something generic like “Patsy”, he is the reason I am playing Words with Friends (WWF). That’s right, Patsy is my Words with Friends pusher. (Damn you Patsy!!)
Well it gets worse, he is the luckiest WWF player I know. Oooh, maybe he invited me just so he could have another person to beat; conspiracy theories abound.
But I finally figured out how to beat him. Muah!! Words with Friends with Themes. (Side note: the whole theme thing will only work if both parties actually stick to the theme to the best of their abilities.)
It’s here! World of Warcraft is remade! Time to get back on the wagon, which means this might be my last post…EVAR! (So I exaggerate a bit, but I am rather looking forward to this new expansion. New guild achievements, new raid instances, new dungeons, new quests, new gear! Squeeee!!)
Its about time for another little World of Warcraft update. And though I have been trying to keep WoW topics from overwhelming the site, I do still spend quite a lot of time playing it still and could go on and on. Thus I am consolidating all my latest news into one post.
Almost forgot to add that the Midsummer World Event began today which is the last world even that my warlock needs to complete the purple drake flying mount achievement.
