The Bahmi warrior calling forth her pet.

Bahmi warrior & her pet at Kings Retreat

So, have been playing in the world of Telara. Rift I’m finding to be a bit of a different game that World of Warcraft. I like both. Depending on my mood I’ll be constantly switching between the two of them.

So far, on Rift I have a Defiant female warrior (Beastmaster, Riftblade, Champion) called ‘Foxsyd’, wish I hadn’t named her that, but I’ve got her up to level 13, and I’m unable to change her name. So I’m stuck with a character with my universal login name that I’ve been using for the last ten years. I also suspect, that being the same name as my Twitter login, may be preventing me logging into Twitter from in-game which is a nifty feature of Rift.

Video Games... Totally My New Hobby

Fri, 25 Feb 2011 08:03:56 +1100

So, an update of my video game stuff… Maguire my human warrior is now at level 25. Has ventured into Duskwood, which is so very Sleepy Hollow. Surprised Maguire hasn’t lost his head yet.

Had become curious about the Rift game, have now pre-ordered it. Like a lot of PC games, it’s not Mac, I’ve now bootcamped Vista onto my Mac. Already have the Head Start Rift on my Mac…. Looking good! Looking forward to when I actually have some time for it.

WoW Update: Shenanigans with Maguire

Wed, 16 Feb 2011 22:21:55 +1100

Maguire had an easy one tonight… just went around killing boars for their meat, and mining copper ore. It was all about the professions tonight. Mining, Blacksmithing and Cooking.

Though later on there was some time for some shenanigans, like swimming above the water.

And encountering the biggest spider Maguire has seen yet! Scary!

WoW Update: Maguire the Sneaky Ghost

Tue, 15 Feb 2011 12:59:29 +1100

So last night, after much swearing on my part, Maguire beat the Redridge quests. The last one was tricky, because to get the last quest item Maguire had to get past several beastie that were inclined to gang up on him. He died a couple of times. Though not a bad thing really, because as a ghost he was able to sneak around to a much better position to get the quest item. Then he RAN RAN RAN!

Tonight he’s going to start on those Lakeshire… Lakeshore? Quests… Or do some fishing.

In other news, Maguire sold his first auction. 2+ gold! He’s never had so much money before! And to think previously I would of sold that shield to a vender for 3 silvers, or something like that.

LOL!

this quest is red for me ! :/

Tho’ this is all new stuff to me…

Dire Condors Fly

Mon, 14 Feb 2011 08:13:47 +1100

One more WoW thing I forgot to mention… I had Maguire the Warrior up to Level 16, and I still didn’t know how to use any projectile weapon like a gun.

Wasn’t a problem till I got to Redridge and needed to kill Dire Condors, and the blasted things wouldn’t come down to the ground and fight me!

I had to stop what I was doing, leave the area to go some where I could buy a gun, then I had to figure out how it works. Grump. I like hitting things up close, like with a big stick.

Conquering Redridge

Mon, 14 Feb 2011 07:29:37 +1100

Maguire the human warrior in the World of Warcraft (not Maguire the Dwarf cat) has now reached Level 17.

I don’t think there is anything else to report, other than WoW has made me cuss more often, last night I heard the phrase “Piss Ant!” come out of my mouth, don’t know where that came from… Oh, yeah spiders attacking, right after a resurrection and while I thought I was in a safe area. Anyway, that Spidey is toast.

This all took place at Redridge… Which brings to mind another thing, a bloody blood elf (player) was at Redridge, getting in my way. But, fortunately, a combo of Alliance guards and spiders killed her, ha ha!

It’s Jayta the Goblin Warlock! Am trying new things on World of Warcraft tonight, new Realm, new characters, trying out the Horde ones.

Also, tried a Undead Hunter, because I like the big redback spider that the Hunter has as a pet. Which makes squishy sounds, you know in real life, spiders don’t squish when they move around. But anyway, I got kind of bored and sleepy with the Undead. Actually, I think I just may be sleepy… long day. But good day!

Made me LOL, loud enough people thought I was nuts.

And then I checked the first panel to see if a bullet did go into his ear. It did.

He he!

World of Warcraft Adventure Update

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 07:40:34 +1100

Dear Diary,

Last night I got my human warrior Maguire up to level 11 just before server shutdown for scheduled maintenance. And when I woke up this morning there was a shiny new fat patch to the game, all 3+ GBs of it are downloading now.

Maguire also experienced some interesting stuff in the last couple of days, last night by pure chance Maguire ended up on a totally different continent, partying and getting his boogie on at the Moonglade, as part of the Lunar Festival (anyone new to the game, do the firecracker quest, it’s totally worth it!)

Another little adventure also took me far out of my way, to Loch Mordan and beyond, where I discovered the Wetlands, got laughed at by another gamer because I attempted to board a ship and got bumped off, gamer told me it was because I didn’t have the Lich King expansion (well I do now!).

And then after all that I ventured into an area way beyond my Level, beasties attacked even while on the path, then I almost got death trapped in a graveyard because it was full of undead killing me! Everytime I revived I got killed again! Obviously, I escaped, eventually.

Last night I got my human warrior to level 10. Then he kept on getting killed by Murlocs, had a enough of that shit, so went to Goldshire for rest and relaxation.

And those damn merlocs were not giving up the fins as quest items.

Thu, 03 Feb 2011 06:49:28 +1100

Last night only got my blood elf to level 7.

And I was really hoping to get further, but I way overestimated. I kept on getting killed. The place is now littered with blood elf corpses that are all the same stupid character.

Ok, now I’m concerned about sharks floating out of water, above land…

WoW Status

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 08:59:34 +1100

My Blood Elf is now at Level 5.

Note: I bought the game yesterday, anything I achieved with the free trial version of the game I made null, and made a new start (with Battle Chest with The Burning Crusade).

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 01:17:23 +1100

I like to do things at different perspectives… not sure yet which might become my favourite to use, but here are some of my characters in World of Warcraft.

“I don’t have a target.” Wow! The Blood Elf is snarky!

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 21:43:40 +1100

“I don’t have a target.”

Wow! The Blood Elf is snarky!

Mob... Not what I thought

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 13:19:09 +1100

So in this short venture into World of Warcraft I’ve seen many words/phrases I have no idea of the meaning. Even online so called WOW beginner guides are littered with them, kind of defeating the purpose of a “beginner” guide.

One of the words I’ve seen is: Mob.

I naturally assumed that this referred to some sort of group of people or creatures, you know, like a unruly crowd. In Australia it can also used as a word to refer to one’s people.

Turns out I was way off… A “Mob” is a monster. (Note: singular, not multiple)

Tram!

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 07:45:46 +1100

Last night I found the tram station at Stormwind, I went to Ironforge! And beyond.
