WOTLK

You may be wondering what WOTLK means, and i will tell you it means Wrath of the Lich King which just so happens to be the expansion to World of Warcraft. This expansion is awesome in all aspects except the people who play the game. They can be real assholes about some things such as mineing materials and herbalism materials. I also forgot quests in general. But other than that it has been great so far.

I was trekking about the plains of Northrend today and came accross a strange monster named "Lunchbox". My first thought was who would name a monster Lunchbox...i mean seriously Lunchbox? But come to find out it was a quest monster and one thing led to another and i ended up killing the monster. That is about how my days have gone since this game came out. Everyone who plays wow good luck reachin Level 80!!!

Gears of War 2

Friday, Nov. 7: Gears of War 2 has finally come out. I have been waiting a long long time for this game, and it has lived up to my expectations. The only thing that needs improvement is the matchmaking process. They use a new system called the "True Skill System" that matches players based on skill. This system is kind of a pain because matches can take 5 minutes to find players of equal skill for your team and for you opponents but over all it is a great game.


Saturday-Sunday, Nov 8-9: Saturday I simply played gears and wow. Yes, even though gears has finally come out i still play lots of wow. I got my Merciless Gladiator glove and pauldrons today, making it a good day. I completed the story mode on gears and i played some Horde (game type on gears) and some of the other new game types on gears of war. Sunday was the same only i played much more wow than gears.
