Well it's been almost 24 hour since The Burning Crusade came out. Last night Emilie and I braved the freezing cold weather to pick up our copies of the game. Of course it was snowing and we could barely see 5 feet in front of us. That didn't stop us and hundreds of other gamers from getting their copies too. When we got there, there was probably 50 or so people. By the time we left there had to have been at least 200 people or so, maybe more.
We both ended up getting the collectors edition. Why not spend an extra $10 and get a bunch of cool things?! Emilie was opening hers even before we got home and looking through all the extra goodies. The art book is absolutely amazing. It's very nice, hard cover and loaded with outstanding art.
We finally got enough cards to play the card game. I am going to have to read through the instruction booklet so we know how to play, but I am sure we could have some fun with that. Emilie's already started to use the mouse pad. I will eventually when my current one dies.
I also picked up the Burning Crusade Z-Board keyset last night. It's much more PvP and RAID oriented then the original keyset. It's still very cool though, I'll use it on my own server.
Emilie and I both started Blood Elves last night. I am on Thrall and she is on Turylon. Before we got that far through we were bothhaving some issues when we were trying to upgrade our accounts to "TBC accounts". The issue wasfixed quite shortly
though. The starting area was completely mobbed with hundreds of other people. Today I had a real problem killing mobs for these quests cause 80 million other people were doing the same thing.
I just wish it was free or cheaper to play this game. I don't think getting the expansion will make me renew my account so come February 2nd or 3rd it's game over for me. At least for the time being. Emilie will continue to play, probably level up her new Blood Elf and get to level 70 with her main. It's a lot of fun, I just don't feel like dedicating so much time to it when I have so many other games to be playing.
So how's everyone else Burning Crusade experience coming along, roll any new characters or going to level your others to 70? Other thoughts?

Well I finally did some things in World of Warcraft. A couple days ago I did a bit of questing but today I finally turned those quests in and I am about 5 "block" away from getting to level 51. Not bad. I am wondering how much rest I have. I am getting rather good EXP and getting it quickly especially off grinding and turning in my quests.
If you look to the image on the left there you can see my new pet. It's King Bangalash found in Stranglethorn Vale (STV). I managed to capture him by myself. Somehow a Shadow Panther attacked me while I was taming the beast but I got the King tamed before I died and he helped me kill off the panther.
I only got him becuase I wanted a unique looking pet and he's one of them (IMHO) but also because cats and white tigers especially look cool. You don't see to many people with them either which is nice.
I love being a hunter and having a pet even though so many people dislike the hunter class and cll it the easiest class to play. I agree, it probably is the easiest class to play but it sure is fun. I just love having little pets even if they aren't combative. This brings me to my next accomplishment for the day.
I managed to snag a Jingling Bell which will summon the Winter Reindeer pet. It's non-combative but it's totally rad. You do need one snowball per summon so make sure you get some of those. I think I bought some 200 snowballs so I'll be good on those until next year.
I love this little guy like I love all my pets. So what kind of pets does everyone else have?? I almost got a Tranquil Mechanical Yeti but it wasn't there when I checked the auction house again...

I've been quite busy with work and classes for the past 5 months or so, so I haven't had much time for my favorite video game; World of Warcraft. That of course doesn't mean I haven't been dreaming about or writing papers about the social networking aspects of it!
I've been keeping up with the news and patching going on and it really sounds like they're doing a lot of cool things. I did log in for literally 2 minutes the other night. I helped a night elf kill a digger near the entrance to Uldaman and then logged out.
So tonight I finally logged in...and met with me usual 350-400 queue. I should have known that would happen. I logged into my own server and played until I got fully logged into the Blizzard servers. Took about 30 minutes or so, pretty ridiculous. I actually read something about free character transfers on Thrall to a select server because of the over population.
I managed to log in tonight and find a group going to Uldaman ( I have one quest or so I think to finish there) and within 10 minutes of that the server crashed. One of the guys in my group was telling it had been happening since last Tuesday. It's so nice to come back to the game and have it be worse then when you left.
World of Warcraft has a lot of issues, it's great when it works so it sucks when it doesn't. I'll probably try to log on tomorrow night in hopes of this not happening again. If not then I'll be logging in when Burning Crusade comes out.
I have an open question though although I doubt I'll get any responses. If anyone is a Mac user and a World of Warcraft user AND uses the World of Warcraft Z-Board, does it work.
I looked on Google but couldn't seem to find a definite answer. I really hope it works on OS X because my parents are thinking about (or did get me one) for Christmas. Anyways if anyone knows, let me know, or point me in the right direction.
Oh, I'm Nippet on Thrall (HORDE).
