WoW Thursday Update

2 Replies

There isn’t a whole lot to say about the World of Warcraft today, except for you either have the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, or you don’t. That’s the big thing for this week, and probably the upcoming weeks, as now you can start a whole new class with the Death Knight. I’m not really sure what a Death Knight is, and that answer would probably be revealed to me if I spend more time playing the class.

The problem is Death Knights report to Arthas, who is basically the supreme evil guy in the World of Warcraft. The Death Knights are all swearing allegiance to him, and they start at level 55, and they apparently are in this to kill everyone. I don’t think it’s an Alliance vs. Horde thing so much as Blizzard not wanting to take the time to make a legitimate third team. From everything I’m seeing it should be Arthas vs. Alliance vs. Horde. It is sort of a shame they didn’t go that way.

Who has the expansion already? I know Tim and my brother waited in line for the midnight release. Dan had it shipped to him, and I only know this because he was making regular updates on Twitter concerning where the shipment was.

The reason I’ve never mentioned Dan before is simply that he doesn’t play on the same server as any of my characters. He plays Alliance, which I don’t play at all, and if I’m not mistaken he plays on a PvE server. While I’ve often considered moving to such a server to get away from the whole hours of getting ganked fun, I have yet to actually commit to that. I have more of a chance running in to him at a Jonathan Coulton concert in Cleveland.

Jo said he would be picking it up today. He had it preordered and paid off, but weighed standing in line at midnight to be far more trouble than waiting till the next day. I had to run to Wal-Mart at 5 AM in order for a certain member of the US Armed Forces to have the game last night.

Renee, Rick, and Melissa might not have picked it up, but then again they don’t have any real immediate use for it. I could include Jo into this demographic as well, but he can at least see the finish line now. None of them are necessarily close to being 70 to take advantage of the new content in that respect. They could start Death Knights, but they still have the aforementioned characters to take from whatever level they are to 70.

Expansions cause so much activity!

Cooking

I have been trying to make waffles with some advice from Rick’s mom. Not Rick, like Rombus, but Rick who we usually call Private Rick, so we can keep them apart. We have three or four Tim’s so that gets more complicated.

Back to trying to cook waffles. I got myself a waffle iron from Target, because Wal-Mart doesn’t sell waffle irons that would be worth it, and every other place is ridiculously expensive, so I got that. Then Rick’s mom told me to get pancake mix from the grocery store, but you have to get the one with waffle mix recipe. I got a generic box, because while I’m practicing I don’t want to ruin anything expensive. I have everything I need, but I keep managing to screw it up.

Some day I want to get good enough that I can make blueberry waffles and maybe ones with apples. I think you can use muffin mix as well, but I think that’s too sweet. Plus it feels like cheating.

Speaking of cooking…

Renee can cook. She made chicken and shrimp burritos. They were fantastic. There was also a fried rice and cheese side. She even bought all the ingredients. I have been able to give her a hard time and tease her about being able to cook, but now she actually did and it was awesome. Even better? There are leftovers in the fridge so I can have another one tomorrow.
