Durango 2006, Day 2
So it's my second day here, and it was quite the lazy day. Nothing too great to report but here goes.
Woke up around 12 to the sounds of my GP2X playing random songs into my head. For once, my headphones didn't fall off during the night, so that was cool. Got up, took a shower, came to the living room and chilled for a bit. We played the usual for most of the day which is Smash Bros and WoW. We did take several breaks in between of course.
First break happened when we were supposed to meet some of Jordan's friends over at the tire swing. What is the tire swing you ask? Not your typical tire swing that's for sure. This tire swing hangs off a tree that lives 20ft above a river on a plateau. I haven't experienced it myself yet, but I'm pretty sure swinging through an open space with no floor and letting yourself fall must be quite the rush. We didn't get to try it cuz Jordan's friends had left already so we went to meet up with them on the market side of town. They were pretty cool people. Spent most of their time talking about how they're planning a trip to Denver. Then we headed back home.
2nd break happened when we were both pretty damn hungry. We just finished a round of WSG and AB and decided it was time to look for some grub, so we drove over to City Market (Like a small HEB) and bought 2 bags of the generic Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and a gallon of milk. On the way back we encountered a cop that didn't follow most if any of the rules of the road. We were about to place him under citizens arrest until he turned and we didn't feel like chasing him.
3rd break was for Jordan's job actually. He works night security here at the apartments he lives at. Basically what he does is stop by all the service zones I guess you could say - office, spa, rec room, etc - and make sure theyre locked up and whatnot. He also has to make a pass through the entire complex making sure all the cars that aren't parked in visitors zones have the proper parking permit, or else they get a ticket. If they fail to comply they get what they call "The Boot" which is some metal bar you place on one of the vehicles wheels and they can't leave until they pay a fine to have it removed. I've already seen 1 of these get put on a vehicle, doesn't look fun.
We spent most if not all the day PvPing on WoW. We skipped AV (Alterac Valley) and queued up only for WSG (Warsong Gulch) and AB (Arathi Basin). It was truly insane and tons of fun. We were in the same group at all times and since we're in the same room, we could just tell each other who we're attacking or whose attacking us and we assist each other accordingly. We got both of the top spots for all the BGs most of the time, but at least one of us always got top spot for sure. Since Horde suck on our server we turned the game into an assassination type game. There were certain Alliance players that just stuck out for some reason and we made it our sole purpose in the game to kill these players. The most popular one for us would have to be Buhay, a 60 pally. Don't know why really, but it was freakin hilarious. There were some other players like Zyth, a 60 rouge that HAD to try to kill one of us, even if we were in the middle of a group, and Nesi, a 60 warrior who is a waste of epics. Then there's just the really stupid players you just have to kill. Fun times.
PvPing on WoW is really all we did today. I ended the day with about 32k honor and Jordan easily got over 40k since he started earlier than me. While it might seem like a waste of time, this is really the first time we've ever done this. Jordan stopped playing before I hit 60 with my warrior and he had been 60 for a pretty good while, so PvPing the way we were today was something we just had to do, since we are the Smash Bros. after all. Smashing faces solo is pretty fun, but melting faces as a team is what we do best. Nothing like charging the same target simultaneously and killing it in 4 shots.
Part of today though I kinda went solo cuz our guild was running Molten Core and Jordan couldn't come cuz he just joined. We beat Domo on our 2nd attempt, and then we downed Rag on our 2nd attempt too. It was so awesome, an ending to a fight that you wouldn't believe. Everyone was so excited, people were screaming on the voice client for a good 5 minutes, it was such a great accomplishment for our guild since we've been working so hard to gear up and get ready for this moment. I'm glad I was able to make it ^_^
Today was one of those "We gotta do this" days. WoW PvP FTW. Tomorrow should be much more event filled tho. Getting up early to hit up the rec center then the Durango Lanners (AKA n00bs) are throwing a LAN so we're gonna go and wipe the floor with them. Short entry today, I'll have much more to report tomorrow hopefully. Hope you all are doing well, catch you laterz ^_^
