It's Avengers Day! Today - or more accurately, last night at a minute after midnight - Marvel's The Avengers was released on BluRay, DVD and digital download in the US. Since I pre-ordered from Amazon (they also comped me a BluRay/DVD to make up a bit for the MCU: Phase One - Avengers Assembled box set fiasco), I did not run out to Best Buy at midnight to grab a copy. Not sure how much work I'm actually going to get done, but I am at the office, pretending (mostly) to work while going to Amazon's tracking function at regular intervals to check on the progress of my packages (UPS says they're out for delivery). I expect to find the packages on my doorstep when I get home from work (which can't be soon enough!).
And in the spirit of new-release Tuesday, Mists of Pandaria, the latest expansion of World of Warcraft, also went live just after midnight. I stumbled out of bed at 05:15 this morning and started up a Pandaren monk before all the good names were taken in my realm, but I haven't started leveling her yet. Leveling up out of the starter zone in the beta was completely insane, but at least I have a fair idea of where the bottlenecks are. That doesn't help me avoid them, but it will help me remain calm when it takes me an hour (or more!) to complete a quest that should take 5 minutes. Anyway, the monk class is interesting and was fun to play in the beta, once you got out of the starter zone.
Wonder if I can give The Avengers the attention it deserves while simultaneously leveling Lotus Cloud?
