Yes I know, it's been a while. You can blame my returning to World of Warcraft for that one.
For the longest time I'd had enough of MMO's. Like they said in an episode of Pure Pwnage, the only thing that matters is how long you play the game. Which is, of course, the point to it all.
More recently though, I've been able to hear and see my fiancee over the other side of the room enjoying it up. She got into a good guild, really enjoys her Shaman character, and even got into the raiding. Every Sunday evening they hit up 25-man ICC, and then she's part of a 10-man raid Monday or Wednesday or something. Then there's dailies, which of course, are things you do every day.
At first it didn't bother me, I couldn't see the appeal, but there's only so much home theatre one can watch. Really good movies are at a minimum, 3 months apart, and as much as I've enjoyed working on VQuest in the past, there's just nothing in it for me anymore.
Over time though, I found myself wanting more and more to be a part of that world of hers. When you've had a partner who hasn't been the least bit into computers and games, it helps you appreciate having one that is, that much more.
So I re-activated my old account a month ago, and decided I'd get my level 31 Warrior to 80 as fast as possible. A month later (yesterday), I finally made it. Not bad, if I do say so myself, for someone who has to work fulltime and can't generally do much on Tuesdays because of the weekly maintenance.
So yeah, that's where I've been. I've booked next Tuesday off; yes, that would be July 27th, and I will likely post my impresssions of Starcraft 2 :)
