What I did during my sabbatical

Gaming

On the gaming front I played a lot of League of Legends – I made it to the promo series to get into the silver tier, but then I went on a losing streak and ended up down in bronze three. I'm currently fighting my way back.

Clash of Clans has seen me become a little more active now that I reached townhall level seven. Using dragons during clan wars really makes things a lot easier and I am making three star attacks now.

In Wurm Online, my neighbor decided to quit the game – it looks like. He left a bunch of livestock and provisions and everything that he had built was degrading including the guard tower that helped protect the area. I gave it a few days and then started pillaging. I got a horse out of the deal and a couple cows. I've ridden the horse around a little bit to get a better sense of where I'm at in the world but there seems to be quite a bit of open and uncivilized space in the areas around me – Xanadu is a pretty large map after all.

Lots of stuff has gone on in Eve Online. The CFC is no more they transformed into a new alliance/coalition called the Imperium. The Brave Newbies, who my corporation is a part of, have relocated into Fountain and I am excited to get back to somewhere familiar. I jumped my clone from Catch where I had been with the Newbies and headed over to Aridia in order to be prepared to move into Fountain. Hopefully this'll be as fun an excursion into the area as it was here last time.

Conventions

During the break I also went to a couple of very fun conventions. The first was WonderCon which is the smaller sibling of San Diego Comic Con. WonderCon was up at the Anaheim convention center next to Disneyland and it was only a little trip up the freeway to get to. I got to go to a few panels – one on horror films and filmmaking and another on the current seasons of TV. Listening to the panel talk about Bates Motel and other shows that I am currently watching is always enjoyable and makes me look forward to the episode even more. The exhibit hall was much smaller than San Diego but it really gives you the flavor of going to a big comic convention – I had a great time.

A couple weeks later the Star Wars Celebration came to Anaheim. This was a blast! I got to see many cosplayers and even attended a steam punk Star Wars panel which was very interesting. I love the new trailer and I am definitely excited to see the film once it shows up in December.
