Warkend wrap up

by Duf Anything and Everything

Whew. It’s official I have NEVER been as into a game as much as I am World of Warcraft. I do not want to make an attempt to add up the hours I spent playing the game this weekend, but let’s just say I spent so much time in that chair that the bottom of my thighs are sore at the point they rest on the chair edge.

Friday night was rough. For whatever reason I decided I wanted to get good and drunk and play as long as I could. After 8 Zimas and 1:30 in the morning, ready to pass out, I stumbled to bed. Of course Nicki had no sympathy and still woke me up at 6:45 am. I did manage to work some normal things into the weekend like working on NIcki’s area, watering the landscaping, pressure washing the shed, house chores and fun stuff like that. But the 2 days were all about playing, getting as much into it as I could. I am now up to level 32, more than halfway to the games ceiling of level 60 (currently at least) It really is hard to describe what makes the game so addictive to those on the outside.

Let me give a scenario. I woke up Saturday morning and I was thinking about how I was going to attack my day in the game. Let’s see, I am running low on tasty omelets, so I will first fly out to the Wetlands and kill a bunch of raptors to get the eggs I need. While I am there I am getting some but not as many as I want. SO I send out a request on general chat asking if anyone had extras and my offer to buy them. Soon I get 3 offers. I foolishly overpay for the first 10, giving the guy 20 silver for them. I then make better deals on my final 2 transactions, getting 30 of them from a guy for 25 silver. I cook up all the eggs and wind up with over 60 omelets that can be eaten to give me a 15 minute “well fed” bonus resulting in a HP, stamina and spirit boost. Makes no sense? Of course not, but get into the game and it will. 🙂

Ali flies home tonight so the marathoning will have to be cut back a bit but at level 40 I can get a horse to ride so that carrot will be driving me hard for the next week or two.

The weather here this weekend was spectacular. Yesterday was sunny, 75 and no humidity. Had the windows wide open.
