Wow, I created a Blog!

Well, this is my first blog post. Not much here at the moment, and I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with it, honestly. Think of it as an experiment, an opportunity for me to talk about things that interest me and about where I am in my life for the moment. I'm thinking this will be more of a gaming blog, concentrating on my specific interests in the gaming world (online, or otherwise). But other stuff might crop in from time to time. hehe!

(and if this never goes past 5 posts, well, at least it was a chance to see what blogging is like).

Well, so with that goal in mind...

Currently Playing:

• World of Warcraft

Currently looking forward to:

• Fallout 3
• Spore
• Wrath of the Lich King
• Warhammer Online
• Final Fantasy XIII

I have a confession to make, I am a WOW addict. I play a Mage, named Malfaire, on the Malygos server. I have a lot of fun with it, and I'd like to think I'm pretty good (but certainly not awesome). It's not really that I think WOW is the best game ever, but I really liked the people I played with; and I liked raiding and being part of a team; figuring out new encounters and seeing new content.

Unfortunately, my guild, Nerfed, broke up a few weeks ago, leaving me in a bit of a limbo. Most everyone I know has scattered to the four winds, switching guilds, or servers...and me having no idea of where to go now. Even worse, Malygos is a bastion of raiding mediocrity...Nerfed never got past Archimonde or Council; but there aren't that many guilds above us in progression and none seem interested in taking on mages. Mage's were crapped on pretty badly in Burning Crusade, and just don't seem to be as desired in raids anymore. I guess I'd just never paid attention to those trends.

In the meantime, I created a Druid and I'm leveling it. It doesn't feel as lonely leveling a low-level alt; not sure why, I guess it's just that my expectations are different. I've leveled several alts before now, most of them solo, so this seemed like a good diversion. In just one week, I've gone from 1 to 27 and should hit 30 pretty soon.

Past that, I'm really looking foward to Spore and Fallout 3 (though I'm a little nervous about Fallout 3). It's also looking like Warhammer Online might be fun, if some of my RL friends and former guild-mates decide to hook up for some action there. I've been reading stuff about WAR, and I'm not entirely convinced that the game is for me (I prefer the raiding game, not PVP)...but I'm also always willing to give something a shot. Hell, I had avoided WOW like the plague until a friend finally convinced me to play.

Well, anyway, this post is been a bit rambly and I have several topics I want to discuss about different topics on my mind, but I'll save them for different posts. Hell, I haven't even looked at the template yet!
