WOW

Was running with a warrior in 2s and he really seemed to like playing and he seemed determined to get up to 1800. We played a few games one night, played again a few nights later, then he never came back on. I found a mage for 2s and he's seems like a decent guy. He likes to play and I hope he doesn't get fed up with losing. Our record is about 30-30 and we haven't broken past 1400. He's not the most skilled player out there and neither am I. But i'm definitely learning things while playing and the experience isn't a bad thing. Having fun doing it too. There are some matches that were absolute bullshit like Enhancement Shaman/Dps against us with the wolves raping me and there's a Ret/Rogue team that we're having difficulty with but we had some fun games like Ret/Holy which lasted 15 mins and we should've won and me vs Rogue which lasted quite a while (of course I died). I got up to 1470 in the rated BGS and am pretty much done with them and am not going to get invited back. We were fighting Gilneas the other night and I couldn't interrupt the other team from capping. I got kicked from group. The next night the same thing happened, except that we couldn't get down a target. Guy came out and said "I didn't even see any warlock Dots on the target" and I pretty much yelled at him in vent asking if he knew how the dispel mechanics in the game worked. I was on the target, spamming incinerate but I there was no CC on their healers, which allowed them to get cross healed pretty well. With them taking out 15v15, the rated bgs are kind of boring anyway. Looking to get onto a 3s team that has the same kind of laid back mentality as I do and am going to start spamming about it the next few days. Got the mage to 84 and Jeremy has been grinding out BGS for me. The rogue is 65 and I was toying around with him when I was bored the other day. We'll see what happens with all this. I hate leveling these stupid characters but I really do enjoy Arena. I really should just get into Street Fighter or buy Marvel vs Capcom.

5 days left of game time. Probably going to resub for the 3 months to build up the character. I feel like I'm headed towards the game sometime in the future. Finished up Small Energy Turrets, Mechanic 5, and am training Repair Systems 5 right now. Will train Amarr Cruisers 4 and that'll finish out the sub. After that, the long plunge into :

Amarr Cruisers 5 (22 days)
Spaceship Command 5 (4 days)

I am looking towards the Covert Ops Cruiser but plenty of options open up after Cruisers 5, with all kinds of different Cruisers available, not to mention the goal of the Legion. We'll see what happens with this all.

Other Games:

Been pretty bored with the other games. I started Killzone 2 and am not impressed by it much. I still have Uncharted 2 to play, Assasin's Creed 2 to start, Bioshock 2 and Mass Effect 2 and I can't seem to get into any of them.

I haven't undocked in weeks. I've been thinking about it and reading about it but haven't put any time into the game. I've gotten the urge to do so but then I always wind up playing Warcraft. I've trained my Medium Energy Turrets to Level 5 and am now training my Small Energy Turret to 5. If I don't start playing the game, I might cancel the sub or I may just keep it for a month or three to get this guy adequately skilled up so if I do decide to come back, I will be good to go. 39 for three months, which is the cost of one night out to Old Country Buffet or if Holly decides to go buy a pair of pants at the mall. Training plan:

Small Energy Turrets
Mechanic 5
Repair Systems 5
Amarr Cruisers 4

This should take out the remainder of my game time.

Warcraft

I found myself in a Rated PVP guild and they run almost every night. I didn't think the rated Bgs would be fun but I'm having fun doing them. I can't do them for the hours every night. The core players on the team and in the guild seem good. I haven't really played any arena. I found one rogue and he was a decent guy but I think I annoyed him or he got pissed because I was sucking. I don't like they took the arena skrimishes away. They would at least allow me to play some games to get ready with positioning, macros, etc. I'm going to start spamming looking for someone to play with for fun. Hopefully I find some down to earth people to play with. I started leveling the mage one night while bored. I've been letting Jeremy grind out BGS with him to get some honor and XP. He was also killing some mobs today while he was waiting to get into a battleground and perhaps he can help me gain some more xp. The burst damage with the mage is pretty incredible and I find myself just grinding around instead of running missions. I don't mind taking a few minutes to shoot down some mobs. I'm about halfway through level 82 and it will def take a long time to get to 85. Then comes the whole grinding out honor.

It looks like I'll be sticking with this game for the short term at least, until I get fed up with arena/not finding players. I've already been fantasizing about getting the rogue leveled up and I just don't want to do it, but I want him at the max level. I even toy around with the idea of having every class at the level cap which is just crazy, thinking about how much I have leveling. If I can get the kid to do most of the grunt work, I would love it but he's still limited in what he can understand.

Rift

I put about four hours in the beta events, it doesn't seem like a bad game, it's just WoW over again. Without something competitive like arena or some kind of fun PVP, I wouldn't get the game. Plus holding a membership for three games is just crazy.
