W.O.W. Wife

Sorry it's been so long since the last post, truthfully we weren't doing much gaming. We were reading ~ well, listening too ~ The Hunger Games, but I'll save that for another post.

Anyway...

So last night we picked up where we left off in W.O.W. , I figure it's much more fun to be a W.O.W. wife than a W.O.W. widow :) even if I just tag along on all the quests.

But that all that tagging along stuff changed last night...M made me take the lead on one of our quests. I don't think it was an Epic fail, but one thing I need to work on is my map reading abilities (I mean if Dora The Explorer can teach my 2 year old how to do it I should be able to do it by now right?), oh and my awareness of my surroundings needs to be worked on too. But I got us there and completed the quest with minimal (I think) questions asked.

And another thing that changed last night? I played the game by myself for a bit...that's right just me. I leveled myself (a Night Elf Mage BTW for anyone who cares to know) allllllll the way up to level 10.

The one thing that is irking me though is I have one quest to turn in that I did later than M and I cannot find out where to turn it in. I'm following along with the map getting where I think it should be and...nothing. Sooooo what am I going to do tonight while my darling husband is working on some work stuff?? Not laundry or dishes certainly...I am going to turn in that darned quest. Oye what in the world is happening here???

Why hello there...

So I came across the idea for this blog Thanksgiving while talking with my Husband (Software Developer by day, Gamer by night) {Hereinafter referred to as M} and my Cousin (who works for an online gaming company) about deciding between the merits of going to PAX East or BlizzCon for M's birthday present (of course we agreed that E3 would be the best, but alas...impossible to get into...)

It kind of dawned on me that I know next to nothing about any of these games...We played World of Warcraft very briefly when we were first married but then life got in the way and I stopped playing. I have absolutely no hand/eye/brain coordination so I find those types of games difficult and haven't really gotten into them. Then again I really havent tried either.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and I decided to give W.O.W. another try (knowing it would make M a happy guy). This time I started playing it on an actual desktop computer that M had built for gaming purposes and compared to the laptop I was playing on last time the difference is night and day...so I think I may just keep this up.

Not only do I want to keep this up but I want to give other games a try too...let M show me the ropes.

So this blog will be a way for me to chronicle my learning experinces, review games and so on and so forth. Gaming I think will become our escape from everything, the kids, work, house work, and what not.

...and hopefully I'll get enough of the lingo down to understand and enjoy what ever conference we decide to go to next year :)
