Man, it was great being old. Without my teeth, I could swallow food whole!

LEVELS:
  • Between being sick and treading water in the sea of new video game releases, I totally forgot to report Grubbuk is now level 24! I levelled early Monday morning, and had every intention to go to Gunbad with the guild that night (we moved Gunbad from Sat. to Monday), until I took some medicine for the vile cold I had all day and was immediately knocked out. I woke up and it was 8 o' clock at night! Ah well, I think they're going again next Monday; here's hoping I have the day off.

Hey, you better watch out! He knows about Timed Hits. He's gonna punch your lights out!

LEVELS:
  • Grubbuk levelled to 23 today, while in the midst of battle in Doomfist Crater. I think people (read: Destruction) are getting tired of Tor Anroc; I didn't have a single TA scenario pop today, but Highpass Cemetary, Doomfist Crater, and Talabec Dam were going crazy.
MISC:
  • I've been added to the ranks of Desecration, a fairly large-sized guild on our server (146 memebers). I'm not sure if it's a permanent thing or not yet (I hate one-word guild names), but they are going to Mt. Gunbad Saturday evening, so I might be tagging along for kicks.
  • So, I've gotten myself a slew of addons. Squared's definately a keeper; WaaaghBar shows potential, but the fact that you can't edit ANY of it yet is driving me mentally unsound. I've also got LittleBlackBook, which is just....embarrasing...on my shaman (This character has killed you 9 times! This character has killed you 5 times!).

G'bye, house! G'bye, trees! G'bye, pile of broken wood!

LEVELS:
  • FINALLY, 22! The original plan yesterday was to level and then work on my cultivating/go bother some stunties, but work called at 9:30 in the morning asking me to come in...right as I had one thing left to level! Eight hours later, I picked a fight with a stupid vulture and hit 22.


    On the way to the Inevitable City (I'm considering making an alt just to get me some level
    25 seeds for cultivating), I heard of a big siege going on in Barak Varr. I hopped a dragon down there, and it was quite entertaining; the fact that everyone was in-character really helped with the mood. We broke the door, got to the keep lord...then the server went down. Talk about anti-climatic.

Yes, friends, act now! Destroy Unicron! Kill the Grand Poobah! Eliminate even the toughest stains!

LEVELS:
  • Last night I got 90% through level 20 and decided to call it a night. Why the hell didn't I stuck stick around the extra 15 minutes and RvR some experience?!

    I'm not entirely sure what my sleep-deprived self was thinking, but sure enough this morning Grubbuk got the last ten percent and hit 21.
MISC:
  • Damn it, Jeff, why did you have to pull me into the wide world of addons again?! Can't I just have a normal-looking UI? Are you trying to kill me? You know very well I usually end up wasting several hours trying to get my UI looking juuuuuust right.

And you'd just have to sit there and imagine why on Earth you can't get ye flask! Because the game's certainly not going to tell you.




LEVELS:
  • The original plan was to level to 19 yesterday, but honestly, the very notion of getting a last name helped me hit 20 last last night/early today.I had to use one of my Libram of Insight charges from the Collector's Edition, but at least I've still got two left. Today I'll probably be taking it slow...I really need to level my Cultivation & Apothecary skills.

It's a riddle! Two guys destroyed your bike with a crowbar and a bat! One of them wasn't me!

LEVELS:
  • Grubbuk hit 17...I don't know...Saturday!? Saturday night and/or early Sundam morning, I think. Good times. The Barak Varr Port (or whatever that little port is called) is awesome. Three public quests, all 20 feet from each other? Yes, please.

EDIT:
Grubbuk leveled up about and hour and a half after writing this! Only two more levels until I get my Wulf!

Tonight, the part of Al will be played by a tall, dark, sinister ugly man.

LEVELS:
  • Last night around 12:30 (well, I guess that's technically this morning) Grubbuk hit 16. I actually levelled him by just doing Mourkain Temple over and over. It was very odd; normally the queue for Mourkain takes FOREVER, but last night I only had to wait a couple minutes between sessions. Basically, I'd queue it up and jot down some stuff for an upcoming D&D campaign I'm working on until the scenario window popped up. Good times.
