No computer

I haven't played a lot of computer games lately. After my laptop broke down (well, the wireless internet anyways) and I've had it fixed a few times now, I finally got my money back. Quite impressive since I've had it for three years. But it was expensive and it's been unreliable since I got it. I haven't yet gotten around to buy a new laptop since I've borrowed one. Unfortunately, it's old so I probably can't play games like World of Warcraft. It can barely keep Minecraft running and it's still a bit slow when I try to play that. Also, there are some dead pixels on the screen. And not just a few, but like three larger clusters of dead pixels, plus vertical lines of dead pixels so it's hard to read sometimes and impossible if you can't scroll. However, it's a laptop that works for doing basic stuff so it'll have to do until I can decide which laptop I am going to buy next. I'm thinking about buying another MSI, but there are other good laptops out there. We'll see.

Midsummer 2017

Happy midsummer! I haven't really celebrated this year and I've just had a quiet weekend. Haven't really had time to play a lot of computer games lately either since I've been busy working on my bachelor's degree. It went well though. For my thesis, I wrote about storytelling in mobile games combined with a pedometer and then created a game to explore that. It was somewhat interesting. Oh yeah, it's currently on Google Play Store, but not sure if I'm gonna keep it there or take it down since it was only published as a way for people to download it during my exam. However, now that I have a little time off I would like to get back to gaming but unfortunately there are some issues with my computer, so I have to get that fixed first which will take at least three weeks, I'm guessing. So sadly, no real gaming yet. Perhaps in july.

First Twitch stream

A couple of things has happened since the last blog entry... It started with installing and playing League of Legends, then Dungeon Keeper was free on Origin so I added that to my account (already had it on cd, but it's easier to have it online), then I played some Crusader Kings 2, back to LoL again and then, finally... I installed Legion! I also bought some game time three days ago and leveled up to 102 yesterday. I'm a night elf druid by heart so needless to say, I started in Val'sharah and so far, I like it. And something else is new, too... I broadcasted my very first Twitch stream! I've never streamed or posted videos online before, so there were a few things to learn, but I think I kinda managed to understand the basics. It was fun, but I feel that I still have a lot more to learn if I'm going to continue streaming and since I enjoyed it, I might give it a go.

You can find my Twitch channel here.

Usually when I install a new WoW expansion I like competeing with my friends and guildies for the new first max level and I always rush through it, and win. But since everyone's already hit 110 like five months ago, I feel no need to do that this time. I'm just gonna take my time and enjoy and explore the new content (which I usually only do on my alts after I've leveled up my main). It's gonna take even more time though, cause I have something else I like to do in WoW which honestly is quite time-consuming... I like submitting screenshots for WoWhead and my main character's bags are full of old gear that I haven't submitted yet, so it's going to take some time before I've done that and cleared the bags out. It's easier to just do a few items at a time, right after you've gotten them but, for some reason, I didn't the last time I played (which was over a year ago) so now the current me has to deal with it. Ah well, it's a nice feeling when it's done, having contributed to something, especially on those items where there are no pictures. I always like being able to see the items I'm looking up, that's why I started a few years ago, since there weren't always pictures of the items.

Anyways.. Time to get back to WoW and clear out those bags and maybe start another Twitch stream...
