Free Candy For Everyone

Non-hard mode bosses of Ulduar all downed!

No, I don’t mean 240. This weekend I hit level 80 on my third character in World of Warcraft.

Why does anyone need three characters? I’m not really sure! Well, there are pretty much 4 roles in WoW. You can be a DPS class, of which there are ranged and melee varieties. You can heal. Or you can tank, which means you’re a living meat shield, there to soak up all the damage.

My two 80s fill the healer, melee DPS and ranged DPS roles (both actually heal too much of the time). But tanking was something I’d never tried and wanted to see what it was about. So there you go, welcome to the endgame Myrela, let’s see what happens. First up, getting yet another alt geared up. Dropped a bunch of gold and I’m on my way, but it looks like lots of runs of Halls of Lightning hoping that this tanking trinket drops are in my future.

A little off topic, but my annual fundraising effort is rapidly approaching and I thought I’d mention it again.

For the third year I’ll be taking part in the San Francisco AIDS Walk on July 19. If you’re local to the San Francisco area, I’d love for you to join my team and walk with me! There’s no minimum fundraising requirement and it’s a really fun opportunity to get out and walk around Golden Gate Park with a few thousand other motivated people.

Thanks for your consideration!

I’ve mentioned before my love of achievements, and things haven’t gotten any better in my meaningless-point seeking ways. I find myself spending way too much time in WoW doing things that aren’t even particularly fun because I want some more magic achievement numbers.

Someone pointed me at wow-achievements.com and I’ve enjoyed watching myself move up. You can see your position on your guild, server, region and in the world. I think I’m doing pretty well, all things considered. I was psyched to break the top 100 on the server. Next up, breaking into the top 75!

My live, updated status is here.

Here’s a roundup of some of the previews coming out of Brütal Legend, the game I’m working on right now!

If I were cool I’d post a screenshot, but I guess I’m not.
