Welcome to another episode of “What I’ve been playing.”<\/p>\n
The last few weeks have been full of World of Warcraft goodness.\u00a0 Its been a lot of fun to be back in and chatting with old friends, and just enjoying the game.\u00a0 The key to this has been not raiding.<\/p>\n
Sure I would love to see Ice Crown, or help guildies with Ulduar, but I have little patience for four hour focused intense sessions of play. Instead I have been enjoying popping in at lunch to do daily quests, jumping online before bed and running a quick dungeon, or even sneaking in a quick Battleground.\u00a0\u00a0 Good times.<\/p>\n
I have also played a little bit of God of War 3. Though for some reason, which I have not yet figured out, I have not been drawn to play it. *shrug*<\/p>\n
Unlike the last game I want to mention, Warstorm.\u00a0 This is a Facebook collectible card game that has captivated me, its all about crafting your squads (decks) and watching them battle opponent squads.\u00a0 It’s a great between tasks at work sort of game, but it does have the “please spend your money”\u00a0 hooks.<\/p>\n
That’s about it on the gaming front.<\/p>\n
As for other entertainment, I wanted to mention that two weeks ago we officially (though minimally) entered the HDTV era.\u00a0\u00a0 I had been holding off on a new Tivo for a couple of years, but finally decided it was time.\u00a0\u00a0 I picked up a new Tivo Premier, and signed for Charter’s basic HD package.<\/p>\n
Amazing.\u00a0 Even on our 10 year old rear projection 1080i TV the picture quality is great, and we can not record 2 shows in HD at the same time on that machine, while the old tivo has become a dedicated kid show recorder!\u00a0 I cann’t recommend Tivo enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
