Time Sink

I’m so addicted to World of Warcraft. It’s gorgeous and fun. World of Warcraft Review for PC at GameSpot hits it on the nose.

MMOG Chart

An Analysis of MMOG Subscription Growth is a chart showing the growth of MMOGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Games). It’s interesting for comparison. I’d like to see how City of Heroes matches up since it was such a success at the 4th party.

I have wings!!!

I went to Best Buy to spend the gift certificate I got from Bill for Christmas and bought the new NeverWinter Nights expansion. It is so cool. It’s set so that you go up to level 15 when the game starts so instead of wasting half the game trying to get up to the prestige classes, you start there already. I created a Sorceress/Red Dragon Disciple and I’m officially half-dragon. <eg> So now I have cool wings and I can breathe fire. <weg>

I also created a shifter. You start with so many forms, including humanoid ones like drow. It’s so much fun. Next, I think I’ll do a Shadowdancer.

Very happy. Yes it’s pathetic.

A Competition I’d love to see

Unfortunately, I don’t know anybody else who plays the game. *pout*

NeverWinter Nights is based on D&D and follows the rules very closely. So it has a list of races and classes (character types/professions) you can choose from. I’ve found that I tend to keep to the same races and classes even though none of my characters are the same.

So you have your players make lists of the races and classes in order from their favorite to the absolute last ones they would choose.

Bet you can see where this is going . Yea, they have to play their least attractive combination. For me this would be something like a Half-Orc Paladin. And just to make it a little more fun, they have to switch sexes. It doesn’t matter in the game but screwing with their minds is always good.

NNW

I’m playing Neverwinter Nights every night for several hours. It leaves me tired in the morning, which isn’t good with all the work I have to do, but it’s fun.

Gaming

I talked Mom into getting me Neverwinter Nights as an early birthday present. I downloaded the demo a couple of weeks ago and was immediately addicted.

I’ve played it several times and it’s a lot more difficult than I expected. I’ve had to take the dfficulty down to “Easy” and I’m still having to replay parts several times to get past them. I’m not complaining, it’s challenging enough that I don’t think I’ll get bored with it soon, and I’m slowly learning how to play. I also have a much better understanding of D&D rpgs.

Addicted

I got to play the demo version of Neverwinter Nights last night. Once I started, I wouldn’t even stop to eat. So addictive. I went straight through the demo, which means I didn’t move for like 2 1/2 hours. You’d think I was Lethann (scroll to “The Sims Online”).

The full game is now on my wishlist. (hint, hint)

I Killed Him

I just took my level 49 ice sorceress through the last act. She kicked Bael’s ass. She is now Slayer Celesta. Night.
