No Legion yet
Leeegiooon.... It's still waiting to be installed and I really wanna play it! But unfortunately I still don't have time because after I install it I'm gonna be on like 24/7 and I just don't have that time right now. However, I've kinda substituted it with other games to satisfy my gaming addiction until I can get back to WoW. This weekend I've mostly played Banished since it's been some months since I last spent time on that. It was fun and I'll probably relax with some more Banished this week.

World of Warcraft: Legion
I didn't think I would play WoW for some time. But...I did it, I ordered a Collector's Edition of Legion! The problem is that I really don't have time to play right now and it will probably be a couple of weeks before I can, which is weird beacuse.. Ever since Cataclysm I've always been the first of my friends and guild members to hit max level after a release, it's something I really enjoy for some reason. The thrill of competing for world first or server first (not that I ever got one, but still). I haven't been too far off though. And this time I'll be really far behind everyone else. I guess I could take this expansion and explore it a bit more while leveling. I usually just rush my main to hit max level and then explore the new content more deeply while leveling my alts. Hopefully I'll have time to play from the start of the release during the next expansion and get back to my old fast-leveling-style again.

Back again
Yeah, so... Apparently that wasn't my thing. With the virtual-WoW-perspective. It's also a bit harder to write about WoW when you don't currently play it, so I'm just gonna go back to writing about all the games that I do play. I tend to choose a game and play mostly that one for a period of time, unlike the way I used to play in the past when I would play lots of different games during a week or even a day. So, from now on, this blog is going to be about more than just World of Warcraft, with pictures, problems, tips and just texts about progress.
Game on!

Relaxing
I've returned to Draenor and there is a lot to do, but recently I have been relaxing a bit. When I first arrived here I was rushing through different zones, helping many people out while exploring areas a little too fast. Somehow you don't get to enjoy new experiences as much when you rush through things. I have been meeting elder people all around the world lately, in celebration of the lunar festival, but at a slower pace than I have for the last couple of weeks. A few days ago I even stopped to admire the amazing sky with all the stars shining down on my garrison. Life is beautiful!

Home sweet home
Today I took a stroll through Darnassus. I've been away for a couple of months now, exploring new areas and helping some of the indigenous out with various tasks. They apprechiated my help so much that they even allowed me to build a garrison of my own there. Although it's nice to be home, I am already preparing for a new trip to this new place since I feel they still need my help. When I first arrived there, I found a dread raven and a dread hatchling searching for companions. We took a liking to each other and they are now accompanying me on my travels.
Today is also Valentine's Day and I just accepted a quest from a gentleman to present a lady with a charm bracelet. Love is in the air!

Possibly a new project?
It's been a long time since I posted anything in this blog. I think it's a bit unnecessary to have two blogs about the same thing (although they are on different websites and languages), so I came up with a new idea:
I'll keep the other blog as a regular blog and transform this blog into a blog written by the virtual me.
Weird? Yes. Uninteresting? Possibly. Fun? Time will tell.
I'm not sure yet if I will keep this as a virtual-me-blog forever or not, but for now I would just like to try something new.
So, as of now this blog will no longer be about me but my online characters, as if written by them. It will probably mostly be about World of Warcraft and I haven't decided yet if I shall include other games or not. We'll see.
If you wan't to read about my life outside the world of gaming, you will find that HERE. That blog will be written in swedish though, so you might need to translate it.
Into the world of gaming!

New laptop, new life
It's been a while but I'm finally living in a new city! My college education started eleven days ago and I've settled in, into my new apartment which I share with another student and also, temporarily, his brother (as in, we've got separate rooms but share kitchen and bathroom). I ordered a laptop to use for studies and work and it arrived yesterday. A word of advice: You might think a laptop is small and that you can take your bike to get it. Think again. ;)
It turned out the package was almost as tall as my bike and kinda wide too, which made it very difficult to transport. After walking 25% of the road home trying to lead my bike and keep the package from falling off it, I discovered that it was possible to put it over the bicycle handlebar and the kinda-small-basket I had on the front, all as long as I grabbed the large plastic bag with my hands and kept holding it with a tight grip while I was also holding the handlebar. Tricky tricky, but we all made it home in one piece. The laptop I bought is a MSI GS70 2PE-something. It's 17" so unfortunatley I think it would be very hard to use on the trains here sine the laptop is too big.. But we'll see. I don't plan on taking the train any time soon anyways.
Today we had out first seminar, but other than that, we've mostly been playing board games for these past two weeks. No, seriously. I'm studying digital games and this class is an introduction to that, to learn us how to think and analyze games.
By the way, it still echoes in my apartment of 32 square meters, due to lack of furniture (I only have my bed, computer station, chest of drawers, tv-bench and two chairs, inluding my gaming one) so I'm going to order a sofa bed next year (when I can afford one) and also a coffee table. This laptop set me back a lot financially so it's probably gonna be a couple of months or so before i can really afford to buy anything. But hey, who needs furniture when you've got a brand-new gaming laptop? :)

Long time no see
It's been quite a while since I wrote anything in this blog and I could blame it on a busy summer, but that would not be entirely true. So let's sum it up real quick:
Last time I was active was during the last part of April. In May I "graduated" from my one-year-education with top grades and moved back to my former city for the summer. During July (and in August for sure), I found out that I got accepted to one of the eleven educations I applied to. Unfortunatley I didn't get my first choice of game programming, or my second choice of game graphics, but will now instead study "digital games" for three years and earn my "Degree of Bachelor of Science, with a Main field of study in Media Technology". Not a 100% game programming education, but I can still use it to become a game developer, which is my goal. I've got a new apartment but can't move in until September 1, which also happens to be the very same day my education starts, so moving across the country (I will move even further away from my home town this year) and unpack all the furniture and start the education all in the same day will be a bit tricky.
From time to time I've had a lot to do this summer, but for the past few weeks it's actually been a lot of gaming since most of the more "serious" stuff has already been taken care of. My brother showed me a game named "Banished", which I had never heard of before. According to it's own wiki page, it's a "city-building strategy game for PC", which is a fair description. Think Age of Empires, but without the war part. You start out with a small settlement and from there you can build pastures, orchards, forest huts, hunting huts, gathering huts, houses, blacksmiths, mines, hospitals, etc.. You get the picture. Transform your settlement into a thriving metropolis but make sure to have a way to survive the plague/winter/ fire or other disaster that may strike your settlement. When you've reached your goal with the city/village/continent there's a bunch of achievements for you to get if you've ran out of ideas with your map. I think it's a really fun game and I've probably spent a lot more time on that game alone than I should (sorry, League of Legends). I have actually only played LoL a handful of times this summer, even though I was thinking of starting a serious 5v5 team in May. Guess I haven't felt like playing it as much as I pictured.
Well that's basically my life summed up, from May until now. I have 1½ weeks left before the move and I think I'm going to spend that on hanging out with friends, playing some games, maybe squeeze in a little more blogging and, of course, do the final packing. Most of my stuff are still in boxes and I pretty much just have to pack kitchen stuff, clothes, and my computer so that shouldn't take too long. Actually I'm half-way through that too.
Until next time!

School break almost over
Tomorrow will be my last day on the school break and I haven't really accomplished much this week. I handed in my application for the fall a couple of days ago and I REALLY hope I will get in to at least one of the educations I choosed. I focused on game development, with programming as my first priority and game design as my second. I will probably know in a couple of months if any of them accepted me.
I will spend the day tomorrow preparing for school and possibly fit some gaming in there somewhere.
Oh, I almost forgot.. I got my first pentakill on LoL two days ago.. Unfortunately it was a bot game, so it doesn't really count.. Next goal: Getting penta on PvP! :)
