The First Report

Here is my new Death Knight: Antagonize.


As I get the links sorted out I will include a few of the items I have on him. It took about 3 hours to get through the "training area" and level from 55 to 58. There is of course no way to know at this point if that is good, bad or average, since this is my first time, however there were many familiar faces at the end of that period that seemed to all start near the same time, so I will go with average for now.

Himhotepp has had his name changed to Hamuneptra (heh heh) and is still sitting at 70. The thing is, that Himhotepp had NO MONEY on him when I copied him over to the test realm. He is BROKE. Really depressingly broke. Like he only has 1g and some copper lmao. I really hope that he can make some money out there in Northrend.

I have yet to take Justiss, who is now called Justified, out into the big bad world. I haven't even spent his talent points yet, lol...

It has been very disturbing to be thrust into this world without any of my AddOns to help me along. Granted many of them are simply candy (WowEquip) or are unnecessary at the moment (DBM, ). The rest just don't work. I really miss only a few - Bartender3, FuBar (and it's various goodies), Autobar (/sigh) and ArkInventory are the most heavily missed, at this time. I've completely forgotten how to play the game without these little gems.

I have struggled mightily...

So here it stands at this moment.

My Gaming Background

Some of you may know me as a gamer from way back. Waaay back. I mean all the way to the beginning of "Gaming" itself. Yep, I mean Dungeons & Dragons™. I played that back in the late 70's thanks to my dad (who is almost as avid a gamer as I am).

This led me to play other RPG's: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons™; Top Secret™; Top Secret:SI™; Paranoia™; Runescape™; Gamma World™; TMNT™; Marvel Superheroes™; & Twilight 2000™. There were others, but you get the idea.

There were also board games: Monopoly™ (a favourite); Axis & Allies™; Risk™; Chess; Go Moku; Generals™; and more.

Then there were the hybrids - board games that involved some role-playing. These were, in the early days, primarily of the Military Strategy variety: Squad Leader™ & Advanced Squad Leader™; Tank Commander; Car Wars™ and the like. There were others of a less militant nature. I was less fond of these.

There was an endless stream of computer-based games as well – some with titles above, some not. Most followed the same general themes – conquest, military and economic development, scientific breakthroughs, etc.

To round out this group are the myriad game-mutations, game modifications, and game creations that I concocted over the years of my gaming life. Some of them have no names, some have working titles, and some have almost complete work-ups. I even contacted a game vendor in Calgary some years ago concerning the possibility of consignment sales of a game I had developed – “BattleArena”. Alas, the heyday of my game development was brought short by that great equalizer: No Money.

I have never given up on developing a game, and some of the ideas I generated for games I still have – one dating from grade 10 (an untitled epic of Country vs. Country on a global scale that could support up to 32 players and involved politics, economics, military development & deployment, scientific creativity, and a well executed overall strategy). It was an ambitious undertaking for a 15 year old kid who couldn’t even get other “strategy enthusiasts” to look at it, due in large part to the 35lb box it was carried around in. I was waiting (unknowingly) for the computer age to evolve to the point where this game could be done. Here it is, the age is upon us and the game remains “undeveloped”. For now, heh heh.

Where does this lead me? Well, I am not sure, but I know that gaming is going to be a large part of my social life for many years to come.

GAME ON!

What WoW character am I really....

OK. OK. No one is morwe surprised by this than me...

Well almost no-one. Mwahahaha

Undead Mage Undead are the forsaken: just like you. While it's important that you don't fall apart (physically or mentally), you might find yourself salivating in an unhealthy manner when someone comes selling cookies. Get more sleep. As a mage, you like blowing things up. Your favorite bit of technology is anything that goes, 'boom'. You live for that huge front-end KAPOW - but, after the dust has settled, you'll find yourself searching for something else to explode. Find out your real-life WoW race and class at QuizGalaxy.com

Arggg!

So it is bad enough that Blizzard's rolling re-start thing apparently isn't working and they take away my first vice:

(atta go, Blizzard. Good oops there - don't do it next week. Seven more days. We will be at the store at midnight Monday to pick up our copy).

But the universe is conspiring against me! My second vice was also down at the same time!




AAARRRRGGGG!
