I don’t know why I expect Blizzard to add a huge content patch with no issues. I’ve managed to get a few things done around here today, and have had time to read up on strats for the fights in the new instance. Now it’s just waiting. I shall go play some Diablo instead.

Retro Distraction
Comments OffA long time ago, on an internet far far … ummm yeah… Remember MUDs, MUSH, MOOs and all those lovely text based environments? They’re still there. I was an active player of DragonRealms for many years, but I got away from playing and forgot about it in the fog of 3D graphic environments that suck your life away into the void. The kid has gone on a Terry Pratchet reading binge as of late, mainly because the husband and I have been throwing the books at him for long enough that he’s tired of being bruised and gave in. This has led to a lot of giggling, snickering and general silliness in conversations around the house, which in turn led us to talking about a MUD based on Discworld that we both remembered.
I had never played it, but I knew it was there, and the kid took it upon himself to not only find it but to start playing, and that led to me creating a character as well, because, honestly, how can you not want to be a witch and squint scathingly at people and watch them wince in pain. It’s been a fun distraction for all the serious stuff going on around here with the upcoming surgery. If you want a unique way to kill a few hours, by all means, go have a look.

It’s all about distractions this week
Comments OffWith the pending stuff that I’m not going to talk about today, I decided last night to reinstall Diablo II on my desktop. It took some proding to get it working under Ubuntu, but there are some awesome guys over in their gaming forums that have figured out all the hard bits. I had forgotten how much fun it is to run around and bash the crap out of tons of little baddies.
I love the fact that as old as the game is, that the playability is still there, it’s one of the reasons I love Blizzard games so much. I will say that playing in an 800×600 window is a bit silly when using a widescreen monitor, but it didn’t take long to get used to it.
There’s also a nagging voice in the back of my head that wants to redesign some things around here. I’ve been looking around at other sites and have gotten some ideas, but if I do this, I want to make a point of creating something from scratch this time around. Oh god, she’s going to code things!!!! The internet may not survive.

I’m copying this from the official WoW forums, because it’s too good to get lost in the shuffle. Credit to Koronis on the Zul’jin server for giving us this lovely bit of entertainment
Every Toon
Down in Azeroth
Liked Winter Veil a lot…
But the Lich King,
who lived in Northrend,
Did NOT!
The Lich King hated Winter Veil! The whole Winter Veil season!
Now, please don’t ask why. Only lore geeks know the reason.
It could be that Frostmourne had corrupted him outright.
It could be, perhaps, that he suffers from frostbite.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that Jaina broke his heart in Westfall.
