Holiday Break and Gaming Update
I apologize a bit for the radio silence, but expect it continue for the next two weeks. I have been doing quite a bit of gaming with Rynala. Between World of Warcraft, Darkfall, and the games I have been buying from the Steam holiday deals, I have almost had too many games to play. Tomorrow, I am flying home to be with my mother for a week and a half to care for her after she undergoes surgery. In my down time I hope to get the chance to write some, but I am not making any promises as of yet. I do have quite a bit I would like to write about.
I have been getting deep into the World of Warcraft economy and have made over 15,000 gold since patch 3.3 has come out. I finally get it and I am finding myself quite addicted.
I stopped playing Borderlands for the most part. Rynala and I got about 50% through the game and the flaws of the game are starting to hinder my enjoyment. Not to mention the developer essentially lied to PC gamers about the game.
Darkfall has taking somewhat of a back burner. I am not turning away from the game as I still really love it, but I have just had so much to play, I just have not been able to make the time for Darkfall. I plan on playing more soon.
Titan Quest is the game that I have been playing for the past week. I had picked it up from Steam during the Black Friday deals and have never played it before. Rynala loves Diablo clones so we gave it try. We are currently in the second act of the game and I really have been enjoying the game. The game is about three years old but it is still a very beautiful looking game and gameplay-wise it feels just like Diablo to me.
The holidays have truly provided quite the gaming boon to me and I hope it has been just as good to all of you.

gold is ridiculous now. I keep finding myself at around 10k or so, and the ONLY thing i do besides raid (and recently random heroics) is 3-day cloth cooldowns, and xmute one epic gem per day. These ALL sell on the AH, and I’m about as far from “dedicated to the market” as you can be.
Then I burn it all to powerlevel and alt through engineering, and find myself back up to 10k without much effort. Once in a while, I post firesale auctions on my bank alt when her bags fill up with greens, and that’s a good chunk of money, but i’m just too lazy to be hassled… case in point: I made 47 frostweave bags leveling those last 9 points in tailoring, and just threw them all in the guild bank, rather than deal with the hassle of posting them over the course of a week.
