Catching up on a couple of things during my triple spare (meaning I don't have to get to school until 11:40am), including the new World of Warcraft patch. Once again, Blizzard has managed to explode their servers again (normally done on a weekly basis), resulting in increasing the already-longer-than-normal maintenance from 12 hours to a mind-numbing 17 hours. I *was* planning to download the patch and test it out before school, but now it seems I'll have to wait until I get home. Good work Blizzard!
I wouldn't be as angry, except for the fact that things like this happen every time they release a patch. People tell me "They're doing good for their first MMO", but it's not. Diablo II was their first MMO, and even though it had its flaws (like people being able to come in and steal your loot), they probably did a better job with it than with WoW.
All I can say is I can't wait for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning to be released. Mythic used something Blizzard don't have (brains and intelligence) to look at the current top-selling MMO (World of Warcraft), research its bad points, improve said flaws, and release a brand new game featuring the things people liked from WoW, and a fixed version of the things they hated. Good game from Mythic. Show those Blizzard money-whores how to make an MMO.
Ok, maybe not so quick, but it's something that's been annoying me for a while.
Completely off-topic, I'm 1/5th of the way to affording my new laptop. Yay! I can finally play Neverwinter Nights 2, which I spent $90 on, only to discover that it's virtually unplayable (1 frame per second, woot!) on my current paperweight of a computer.
And before anyone states that when I'm 30 I'll still be living in my parent's basement playing video games, I would like to remind them of one thing: I hate my parents. It's not going to happen.
