Long time, no update.

It's been a long time since I updated, so here goes.

World of Warcraft

Yeah I'm still addicted to this game, but then so are 5 million other people across the world, so that's just the way it is I guess. If you don't understand much about WoW or MMORPGs as a whole, then the following will probably be confusing and not worth reading.

I got myself into an end-game PvE raiding guild (level 60 only) at last, and not just any guild, the BEST Horde guild on the Draenor EU server. Finally gone to and completed Molten Core and Blackwing Lair (40 man raid instances) and it's so much fun. I've also done a bit of AQ 20 and 40, the new instances, AQ 40 being a great new challenge for us. We use Teamspeak so we can actually talk to each other instead of just writing instructions and info in-game, it really brings a whole new side to the game being able to hear the guys you've been sharing the server with for so long. We've had a bit of a rough patch recently, with people leaving the guild (and the game altogether) but things are calming down again now and it's back to business as usual.

Here's a picture of us after we killed Chromaggus, the 2nd to last boss in Blackwing Lair: http://www.auvy23.dsl.pipex.com/screens/pixui.jpg

Real Life

Things are still going slow and steady, I'm still in the same part-time job, earning the same money, and buying the same old upgrades for my computer. Just recently bought a Soundblaster Audigy 7.1 Surround Sound card, I'm still using the same old 2.1 speakers (will get 5.1 next month) but I did get myself a Speedlink Medusa 5.1 headset which is a lot of fun to use. Next month I'm going to buy myself a 2GB dual channel DDR kit to increase my PC's performance a little.

My Dad got himself a new car, a Rover 75. I've driven it a little, it's so hard getting used to petrol after using diesel for so long, the clutch is a lot more responsive than the slow and sluggish Mondeo's. The license plate of the car spells out the name of a popular Shadow Skill character, which brings a smile to my face every time I see it. My family has gone to Scotland for Easter so I'm here alone with just my brother for a few days, speaking of which, it's his birthday today as well, he's 22 years old now. It was my birthday last week, I'm now 24 years old.

That's all for now, until next time.

Pix.
