Only a 3 Month Break!

Been pretty much more of the same since the last update. Finished all of the Stargate episodes(minus the current season) and played some GTA 4 along with other games since then.

GTA is fun, got about halfway in before taking a break, like to space games out a bit and not burn through unless they are calling to me to finish them. Put more than 60 hours into Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for the DS, but kind of burnt out on it.

About 10 hours into Bully, that's kind of like gta-in-prepschool, nice light-hearted take on the game genre, but a decent story and great characters. Some Rock Band mixed in, I still suck but it's a fun game.

Lots of WoW, including Lich King beta(lots of neat changes and more of the same.) Probably try out Warhammer Online beta, think it starts tomorrow. Not disliking wow, just wow pvp. Will be a nice change of pace if it doesn't suck, maybe try to split time between wow and that or see how it goes.

Was gonna go to Blizzcon but a coworker screwed that up fairly royally, though with the money I "saved" by not going there I did end up buying a new camera. I grew up with my father having an SLR camera, he eventually sold it when he didn't get a lot of use out of it and the couple point and shoot cameras I've tried since then just paled in comparison. I got a Nikon D40 for reference, entry-level Digital SLR but popular. I'll eventually start posting photos I take, but here's a pic of the camera itself, not taken by me.

Pissed about no Blizzcon trip, was really looking forward to it, but I've heard stories of how people got screwed over with the ticket sales that totally blow my issue out of the water. Like a friend's guildies were planning their wedding around Blizzcon(they apparently live on the east coast also, so a pricey trip) and the bride wasn't able to get a ticket, just the groom(and only some of the other people involved) so their entire plans are out of whack.
Not that I'd plan my wedding(pfft, like any woman would be that dumb...) around a gaming convention, but that is very sad that the system Blizzard uses for tickets is so poor that they sold out so quickly and was so buggy. I blame Uzus.
