The Addiction Continues. Anticipation Killed the Cat.
Hessiana | 10:07 PM on 11.09.2009 16 comments


*People seem to be all over my case about my OCD to not capitalize, so this is my attempt to stray away from that. This one's for you, guys!*

Aside from the weekly case of the Mondays, I definitely can't complain about today. School didn't consist of much other than older woman bitching early this morning. I'm currently in a constant intelligence battle with my biology teacher, and she's definitely not okay with it. Quoted from her, "I'm SO sending an e-mail home to your mother!" Awesome. Of course, this was after I insulted her test-making abilities, so I can understand why she was upset. I just can't learn from a teacher that feels she has absolute authority over my grades, whether I deserve them or not. She's way too closed-minded for my tastes. I honestly could care less at this point. (:

The Addiction Continues.


My rogue is currently sitting half-way from level 11 right now. I have definitely enjoyed the game thus far, though some of the quests I completed were stupidly boring. You honestly can't get off of your pre-scripted butt for 5 minutes to go buy alcohol for your party, random Blood Elf guy? I'm under-aged anyway, I'm sure they'd card me!

I met a few new people today, one of which I met from posting my last blog. The other two guys I grouped with for a couple of quests. Their typing skills were worse than mine, and it's a shame because they were probably like 20. From what it looks like, playing WoW kills your brain cells. You stop "talking like this" and you start "tlakin liek tihs gimme lewtz nao pl0x". I don't look forward to that day. They were still nice people though. Hopefully more will stop by to keep little ol' me company? I'd appreciate it, really. (:

Also, I wanted to address something from my last blog. When I told people I was leveling a Rogue, they were acting like I was crazy. From what I've experienced, Rogues seem like a lot of fun to play, especially in the higher levels. Multiple people have told me that a Hunter is the way to go for my first class. The thing is, I'd much rather play a class that I enjoy than a class that levels really fast. Either way, I appreciate the advice, but I don't take the easy route. Hessiana's pretty stubborn.

Anticipation Killed the Cat.
Well, here on the east coast as I'm typing, there's about 30 minutes before the midnight release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I must say, I am EXCITED! I never really got to play much outside the story-line of CoD 4 and Nazi Zombies of CoD 5, because my brother took both of them with him to college. However, this time, my brother has dropped out and I have FPS paradise!



I can't help but be weary. Most things that are over-hyped don't live up to it. Anyone remember Halo 3? People were acting like Jesus was being resurrected on their front porch with a plate of chocolate chip cookies and liquid awesome in his wine glass. To be honest, I thought the game was a letdown compared to the other two of the trilogy. I only hope that this game won't be the same way.

I'm not going to the midnight release, my mom would kill me on a school night (even though I'll be up past midnight anyway). I'm sure some of you guys will have some interesting stories to share, however, as these sorts of things always seem to make the crazies come out.

Questions.[/size]
What's your opinion on teachers threatening to give you zeros for work you did, simply because they don't agree with you?

Do you believe the the Internet has truly butchered the English language?

Has anything in your life ever "lived up to the hype"?

Have fun, be safe, and don't spoil MW2 for me, I don't get it until after school!

world of warcraft for a late bloomer. crack addiction stories ensue.

*if you haven't noticed yet, i'm a strict non-believer in capitalization. i can use it, sure. i just choose not to. sorry if that offends you in any way, i honestly could care less.*

oh boy, first time blogging on here. this is an exciting day indeed! i had been searching the internet a little bit in hopes to find a place where i could just share my "oh so interesting" life with the world, so here i am! welcome me, boo me off the stage, etc, i'm fine with all of it. i personally came here just because i like to talk about things, and hopefully have people read them. i hope to find a home here and maybe make some new buddies in the process. (:

world of warcraft.
after weeks of being bugged by my friend, i FINALLY decided to purchase this game that's been out for like 25 years. after an hour of playing, i can already see that i could be spending potentially too much time on this game.



while installing this game for what seemed like years, my friend tried to teach me the ropes in the easiest way possible, playing his character. he plays a night elf rogue on some popular server. he's a self-proclaimed "player-versus-player" master and i would tell you to look him up, but i forgot his ridiculous name. the learning curve was... interesting to say the least, but i'm guessing it helped me out in the long run, as now i'm not running around killing the same kitty-cat for 79 levels. i enjoyed playing his rogue, so i decided that's what i wanted to go for. i'm a ninja anyway, so it just made sense. :D

once the game finally installed, hessiana of altar of storms was born. she's a blood elf rogue. very tiny and harmless looking, but can kick some ass, much like me. ;) instead of rolling out an all out review of the game from the hour i played, i'll just hit the highlights that i found interesting while playing for the little time i did.

i instantly fell in love with the way the game looks. it's a very colorful, cartoon-ish land, with just enough realism to make you not feel like you're playing a game for people well... my age. the music was pretty cool in the starting area i was in as well. sounded like i was in some royal palace of pointy-eared pink people, and i was completely okay with that. most of my playing involved killing things and doing people's chores for them, which i'm assuming gets better. one quest in particular though, i got to beat up a dwarf that was a spy for the alliance. he had it coming to him; he looked pretty annoying.

i also got into my first duel with someone. a level 8 mage, when i was only a level 5. we duked it out for about 4 or so rounds. i won 3-1. i was pretty proud of myself. (:

all in all, it was a fun experience. it's different being immersed in your own little world, as opposed to online games i'm used to playing, where you'd play a match, leave, and simply join another. i could honestly do what i wanted, without being held back by "rules". if anyone plays, especially on my server, feel free to keep me company on my journey to 80. i'd truly appreciate it.
