Hibernation

You are most likely aware of the fact that some beasts (and plants) hibernate over winter. I, on the other hand, seem to be getting busier the closer winter gets. These days I hardly have the time or the opportunity to play any games at all, bar a few LoL matches with my friends. It’s hard to keep blogging about something you are no longer actively involved in, which means that, as you might have already noticed, the activity on the blog will go down the gutter.

I’m not going to close down the blog entirely because it can still serve a purpose in the future (plus I fancy keeping the posts online). Besides, I might occasionally feel the urge to ramble incessantly or the need to comment on the happenings in the gaming world and where shall I turn to then? No sensible, self-respecting website would have me (rightfully so).

I’ll probably still write a post every two weeks or so, but don’t count on me continuing the critically acclaimed Weekend Music Madness series or finishing the other series I’ve been trying to wrap up for months (*cough*dragons*cough*). It’s probably for the best, you could get spoiled from such good entertainment.

It’s worth mentioning that I got invited into Wrath of Heroes closed beta, just after the last round of tests ended. I don’t even know if there will be another round or when, but I’m quite sure I won’t have the time or the means available to me in order to partake in them. Well done, Mythic.

Sleep well, friends. See you on the other end.

One of these days…

…I’m going to write a good post. I promise. Just not today…

Melancholy of Heroes

Yes, quite. Unless your place of residence is under a rock, you’ll be aware by now that Mythic has announced their new Warhammer project called Wrath of Heroes. Apparently Mythic took a look at all the DotA spawns and the success they’ve had, then took a look at their MMO, or more specifically, their scenario system and went: “Maybe we should, y’know, buff Magi?”

Is that an Undead in the background? Ooh!

The quiet before the storm

The lack of posts on my blog can be attributed to me not playing much except for LoL due to my broken monitor and the fact that there’s nothing going on that would catch my attention and compel me to write about it. Maybe it’s because I’m getting senile, dumb and deaf, but I honestly think these qualities can’t have progressed much further than they already were a few weeks ago.

I have a few games I’ve been wanting to play, which I’ll be getting into (and hopefully blogging about) as soon as I get my monitor sorted.

I also owe an apology to the people in my blogroll, as I haven’t been trolling and reading their posts like I usually do, which I’ll have to remedy soon. Otherwise there isn’t much point in having a blogroll or even blogging in the first place.

As for WMM; shut up.

Not done yet

I’m not done with the blog, dead or too busy to post. However, I was internet-less for the last few days as a result of a lightning strike. Blogging will continue (to the chagrin of everyone) as soon as I get everything working.

Soon, my darlings, soon…

Just LoLing around

I have to apologise for the sporadic posting the last few days, but I’ve been quite busy. Every time I set aside some time for the blog I end up fiddling with the new theme and not posting anything. Speaking of which, I STILL NEED OPINIONS! The poll is in the main menu, please vote (and additional comments are welcome). And don’t say you don’t care because you do. Help me decide.

With that whine out of the way, let me fill you in on what I’ve been playing these days…

New theme

I’ve been meaning to change the theme for a while now and when this one came out I jumped on it, because it looks slick and seems to have a lot of nifty features. Like this aside post. This is just the first attempt at molding the theme into something appealing, but I’d still ask you to take a few seconds on voting whether you think I should keep this theme or go back to the old one (both have their merits). The poll is somewhere to the right.

Thank you.

Blog anniversary

On year ago on this very day I posted my first blog post, which probably means today is the blog’s one-year anniversary. I thought I would share some of the blog’s stats, as it seems to be a blogging tradition to do so once a year. I’ll also ask for some reader input so I can improve the blog and hopefully write better posts in the future. If you can spare a few minutes I implore you to at least read the feedback section below and leave a comment. Each and every one is appreciated.

AAARGHH!

Yes, quite. Due to a billing problem my ISP decided to block my internet access for a week. Which is great, capitalism is wonderful. Apologies for not putting up a post during that time, but I thought the problem would be resolved in a matter of days. Which it wasn’t. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a lot of catching up to do. Regular posting schedule (aka Maybe-a-post-soon ™) will resume shortly.

Here’s a new video of Incomingray and Krieb of AAO on Norn, instead of my regular nonsense of a post.

Winter joys

Guess what I’ve been doing for the last two hours. No, you guessed wrong. I haven’t been playing WAR, blogging or watching a movie. I have actually been shovelling snow. Same as yesterday. And the day before that. My arms went “Hey man, when we (they’re twins) were first attached to you we had big plans. Curing cancer, solving the problem of world hunger, rescuing babies out of burning buildings, stuff like that. It didn’t turn out that way, but we still enjoyed your geeky ways. But lately it seems you don’t like us anymore, so we’re off. Gl and hf.” fell off, and bounced through the window. So now I’m forced to type this with my nose, until I can get replacement arms. Apart from that, I love the winter and can’t really complain.

So I’m enjoying everything merry December has to offer and I hope you are aswell. Mulled wine, WAR, skiing or sledding and stroking kittens by the fireplace. I myself prefer beer, shoveling snow and splitting firewood in the freezing cold, because that’s what real men do.

More posts should be incoming at some point. I’m guessing most people are quite busy at this time of the year though, so I’m not in a hurry. *shrug*
