Trip to Maryland

Leave a reply

My sister, Becky, invited me to drive out to Maryland to see our parents and brother. I decided it would be a good idea, for a great many reasons. The first is that I have not been out there since they moved into a house. The second is that this would be the first time either of us had seen our brother this year, because while my parents did take a trip to Ohio and we all visited them in the hotel our brother did not come, and instead opted to stay home. The third is that Becky offered to drive and she just got a new and very comfortable car.

We drove out there and it did not seem to take long at all. We left early in the morning on Saturday and we were there by around 1 in the afternoon. We arrived, said hello to everyone, and after we got done talking and sitting around we decided it was time to do something. We decided to go see a movie. Becky, Adam, and I all piled into the car, and with my brother’s directions, we all went to see “Despicable Me”. We did not go to the 3D showing (side note: Kristy actually took the kids to see this movie and I really wanted to go see it anyway). The movie was great fun and then we went out for ice cream. When we got back to my parents house Becky and I had to make the decision of either staying or going to a hotel. There was some discussion and we ended up staying. I went to sleep in Adam’s room and Becky slept in the living room on an inflatable mattress.

We awoke to breakfast and coffee. My Dad is a great cook and he always wakes up early to make breakfast whenever we visit. Becky and I decided to hang out with Adam for the day again, so again off we went to putt putt golf. It was a great deal of fun and then again we went out for ice cream. We hung out at the mall for a bit, because it is a great air conditioned place to just wander around and do nothing. We ate pizza. My brother bought a shirt and I bought Hot Tamales Gum. We drove back, said our good-byes, and started the drive back to Ohio. I will try and avoid driving through Pennsylvania at night, because it seems to take forever. There really seems to be a huge difference between driving at night and day.

Thursday WoW Update

I wanted to start the new year with a Thursday WoW Update! There really isn’t a whole lot of news about what’s going on. Everyone has been really busy for Christmas and New Years and there hasn’t been a whole lot going on. I have a promise that we will be playing our Death Knights in the new year, since I’ve signed up for a few more months, as promised.

Death Knights are apparently a “faceroll” class, which essentially means, if you don’t want to follow the link, that all you have to do to win is roll your face over the keyboard. I laughed a lot hearing this, because I just imagined someone rolling their face over their keyboard. Basically it just means that a lot of people consider the Death Knight to be a completely over powered class.

The seasons holidays did bring one person plenty of time to play their characters. Umori has managed to make it to 80. The other characters that are being played by this person are Vercundus is 74, and I am being reminded that this character started at 55 just a month ago, and is already higher level than my character Darkkor, who is only 72, which is actually 2 levels in the past month, and I think that is pretty impressive for me.

I still don’t have a good armory link for Steakems, but I talked to this player over IM and they insist that they didn’t actually delete this character, but I can’t figure out why else the link isn’t working.

Not a lot happening on the World of Warcraft front lately. Lot of people just not even checking in to see what’s going on. I don’t know if anyone is still playing. Well let me take that back I know some people are still playing.

Steakems hasn’t logged in quite a while, and matter of fact at the time of typing this the armory wasn’t able to bring up his character. I’m not completely sure this character still exists. I know he’s been playing though, because he was bragging on some bitcast that he got to 80 on some other server. I don’t know what’s going on with this character though.

Remana is still playing, but not so much recently. I know that this is still an active character because I get reminded that there is a deficit in funds that needs to be corrected in order for this character to get a mount. This I’m sure will be corrected sooner or later.

Grotesk was supposedly leveled a bit, and I know this because Umori told me so. On the other hand there was an apparent migraine that forced the delay of getting some time in to level Rhenzaburou and Tsugutoshi might be playing, but I don’t know. If it’s anything like how I play then I’d hardly notice, because I gain some experience and then log off and go do something else.

I’ll have to get all the names of Umori’s other characters and list them all here sometime. There are a bunch. I think there are at least 5 level 70+ characters in all.

Xandrov and Romany continue to play those characters and some other characters together, and they would have to be stupid not to since their 3x refer a friend experience credit is going to run out eventually. That means that Rombus has been put on the back burner for awhile, which is fine, since technically I have two alts that need to catch up to him.

Rombus, Romany, and Xandrov actually have their own more in depth weekly updates that you can find if you follow the Rombus link on the left hand side of the page. No credit needed for the idea, because none was given, well it was sort of given. 😉

First thing is that it doesn’t look like I’ll be adding that many names this week, but I will be soon. I guess Rick and Melissa did not start their characters on Balnazzar and while they have plans to do so in the future I don’t see it happening any time soon.

The names that I expect to have in the future are those of all the people coming back to World of Warcraft. Blizzard is reporting that 46% of the people who listed that they were quitting to play Warhammer Online are reactivating their WoW subscription. I think I mentioned that the guild we were previously in, before we started The Holiday Loggers, was PK who went from quite a few members to none. I honestly expect most, if not all, of those people to return, and then I’ll be adding them to my update.

Umori and Tsugutoshi have been playing together and they’ve been gaining a few levels. They are getting closer and closer to 70, just in time for the expansion to have to go to 80. I might get the expansion.

Remana is level 29 already, so that means that I have at least one person to pal around with my alts. I really should play them a little more often.

Basically in the upcoming weeks we will be adding more names and have more to talk about in these updates.

This is kind of a fun update! My brother is out of the hospital now and the first thing he decides we should do is to go get ourselves Devilsaurs. My Devilsaur is the orangish one and my brother has the brownish one. Yes, these elite mobs from the depths of Ungaro Crater used to be untamable by the hunter, and now look at them. Large T-Rex looking monstrosities that are ours to control. They have completely changed the way pets work in the latest patch as well, but that’s a story for another update when I’ve explored it and know a little more about the abilities in the skill tree for pets. I need to get my brother’s characters names so that I can add them to this update.

We have a new member on the server and probably two. Melissa apparently started playing WoW and so Rick will be starting a new character just to play with her. I don’t have either of their new character names, so that’s one for the next update. I got an IM from a friend letting me know that they were entitled to a free character transfer, which is the process by which you take a character from one server and put it on another, but I am not sure how they managed to get a free one. The cost of this move is usually about $20.

Warhammer Online is taking it’s toll on WarCraft and I have a feeling things are going to change, for the better I hope. Seems that the guild that I was in is down to 3 members. I hope this is the pressure Blizzard needed to get off their collective asses and do something about this constant end game grind. It’s not fun, and they have about a month and a half to fix it before my subscription runs out.

My next update should be littered with players names.

Today was supposed to be the day that my brother finally got out of the hospital, but the hospital did something really wrong, and I’m not entirely sure what so I can’t elaborate, but they did something wrong enough that he was transported to another hospital where they’ll be keeping him for another week. The good news I guess is that in his IM he told me that with heavy IV treatment he should be fine when this is finally over.

My brother has been able to talk to me using AIM, because apparently you aren’t allowed to use a cell phone, but a laptop is fine. He told me that what they are really waiting to try and figure out is exactly what he has. They had him spit in a cup and they have what they observed narrowed down to three possible illnesses. None of them are good, but they are all treatable and so I’m hoping that by the end of the week it’s more or less a matter of him doing his therapy more often and taking better care of himself.

My brother has pneumonia, which is very serious. The reason he is passing out is that they believe he is having a severe allergic reaction to something.

When he passed out at the college his girlfriend was there and he said to her “I’m dying… I’m dying”. I hope not.

My brother was attending his college classes yesterday when he apparently passed out and went into seizures. We got the call that he was in ICU and the hospital was going to be keeping him at least over night. I’m hoping he goes home soon.
