A Little Wurm Relaxes Me
The past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic and I have not done much in the way of gaming. A little Wurm, some Wildstar reading, and some head banging in LoL have been all I could throw together.
Real life has been busy and I’ve felt like I’ve been coming down with a cold. Along with that, the television season has been coming to a close and I’ve been tring to catch up on shows that I let slip. TiVo is wonderful, but it is easy to get behind and record too many things.
Little Headway in Wildstar
I’ve pretty much been on hold with Wildstar lately. From my time in the beta, I know this is a game where I would like to spend time exploring but when I am strapped for time, I don’t feel I can get the most out of a game. Therefore, I am stalled out. Perhaps this week will offer an opportunity.
I’ve read a number of blogs talking about how great things are in game. Over at Endgame Viable there is discussion about how people are running dungeons and how they can be tough for PUGs, Missy over at Missy’s Mojo talks about furnishing houses, and Scree over at The Cynic Dialogues talks about maxing out characters. I am excited to get back to this world, I just have to make the time.
A Few Hours in Wurm Online
While Wildstar has been on hiatus, I have gotten back into Wurm a bit. They recently opened up a new server – Xanadu – and it is big. The specs say something like 32km x 32km. I’ve set up a deed on a lake ‘near’ one of the starting villages. I like what they have done – since the map is so large, they have multiple starter towns. I think there are 6 or 8. I was reading some posts from Aywren over at Sygnus.org that said she had landed near Newspring City so I thought I’d start near there. Well, I misclicked and landed over at Esteron while Newspring is pretty far to the West. Oh well. I’ll get over there to see Newspring sooner or later.
In any case, I am over near r23 on the Xanadu map – I think.
A little Wurm relaxes me. It is a nice, relatively stress free game that I can zone out in. That is as long as I stay on my deed or in civilized areas.
Frustration in League of Legends
I am really coming I dislike LoL. My latest experiences deserve more time than I can describe here, but I have been in free fall since I failed my promotion to Silver. With the numerous MOBAs out there, I think I might start dabbling in some others and put League on the self for a bit until my frustration level cools off.
Core Challenge
I slipped again in my exercise routine so I am starting up once again. By this time I should have the first day’s exercises memorized. In any case, I began at day one again.
Core Challenge Day 1:
- 6 Push-ups
- 15 second plank
- 10 plank reaches
World Cup 2014
Congratulations to the US Soccer team who came away with a draw to Portugal on Sunday. They still have a chance to make it through to the next round if they play well against Germany on Thursday. While soccer is not the biggest sport here in America, I am pretty psyched to see the team do well.
