Well I played WoW again for around 2 months total, having gone from 1-70 on a Blood Elf Paladin in 12 days 5 minutes played (My previous 60s had taken 30 and 17 days respectively from my two previous tenures)

I basically played until I got bored. I'd been forced to quit WoW the two times before due to financial or technical issues so this was the first time I quit WoW of my own total volition. I have now a Retribution Paladin decked out in Rares with a couple of Epics. I could continue to try for better gear to access more raid dungeons since I'm keyed for everything up to and including Karazhan and all heroic modes. I simply have no desire to continue as there are many better things I could be doing with that time.

Ultimately I do get bored with most computer games in the long run and WoW certainly has had a long run. I am free so far as I can tell and that is a very good thing. Makes me wonder if I will ever finish Final Fantasy XII.

Today is a momentous day, a day that were I religious I would have prayed never came, I upgraded to Burning Crusade and reactivated my account after going without WoW since late July of 2006. And to be honest I couldn't be happier.

WoW is the absolute height of a particular design paradigm. It may not be as brutal as EVE which I've played for the past 5 months but it is relaxing to play. It sucks you in and keeps you there, something that EVE could never truly do. I'll blog more on this later but for now, Azeroth or Kalimdor (I forget which continent I was on) awaits!

If you wish to adventure with me, PM me for my server info and what not.

Firstly I finally took one of those signature linked Final Fantasy, "What character are you?" tests.

Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?

I do indeed generally favor Laguna over others. I still like his combat music more than most other pieces in the series outside of XII's Boss music which owns all.

Next up we have what happens when I get tired of Dark Industrial music like this (Track 7 is easily my favorite)

I begin listening to this

I've been playing a lot of Soul Calibur 3 and I really should rereview it.

Anyway, time to go outside and see if I can find the lunar eclipse.
