World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Cinematic Trailer

It would be the Opening Cinematic of World of Warcraft's next expansion, Mists of Pandaria that knocks me out of my blogging lull.

So effing pumped!

Evolution of Nintendo

Interestingly enough, I stopped playing Nintendo after the 64.  Even more interesting is the fact that it had a big deal to do with the controller.  I was like... WTF is up with this sh!t?  It was just too cumbersome for my taste and wasn't incredibly convenient...

.... there's also a chance I started having sex at that point which is why I gave up video games for a while.

MIA yet again

I wish I could say I haven't been updating this blog cuz I rejoined my guild and have been saving Azeroth, but sadly that is SO not the case.  Work has been kicking my almond-brown ass all over the place!  We're talking up-up, down-down, left-right, left-right, B, A, B, A, select, start, all over the place.

The most Gaymer-esque thing I've done is update a forum signature that I don't even use.  BLAH.  It's cute though.

Just Cuz : Super Silhouettes

 Ummm.... LEET!

Homecoming

I just couldn't stay away.  It's not the game that pulled me back.  It's the people.  At its core, World of Warcraft is a social experience and even though there are maybe 2-3 people in the entire guild I've met in real life, they are my family in very many ways.

I still stand by my decision to leave the game altogether.  I had to focus on me and my goals.  The fact is, I've achieved them.  All but one was in my grasp.  And who did I have to cheer me on and give me a collective grats? No one really.  Those that cheered on my victories in-game and real life, were no longer around.  It was truly sad.  I was really alone.

My greatest regret in leaving and the biggest pull back into the game was to be with my boys: Peter "Rthurian" Salathe and Patrick "Airielle" Dennen.  The 3 of us are spread across the nation, but in game, we've always been this "Triforce of Power" so to speak.  Feels so good to be reunited with them.

So, now I'm back.  I still need to limit my time in-game as much as I can, but it feels right being among these people.  It genuinely feels like home in all the ways that matter.

ENTER: Diablo III

We're mere hours away from the launch of Diablo 3!  I couldn't be more stoked to play this game and I've never even played the other 2.  MMO-Champion posted a great review and sort of introduction to the game and the way it handles.  I'm still torn between being a Barbarian (since I prefer melee) or a Demon Hunter (just cuz it looks so EFFING boss!)

AAAAAHHHHH!!!! Decisions!!!
