Thursday

Had a good time playing Borderlands with SageHarley last night.  I played it when it came out but the guys I was playing with were all out of work at the time, so when we logged that first night we were all @ level 10, but when I got home from work the next night they were all into their 30s since they had played all day.  Yeah, thanks guys.  I played just a tiny amount of co-op after that but did play some single player.  Since thats a game best played with other people it fell to the wayside soon enough.  But we had a good time, he powerleveled me a bit since he had a little head start but I caught up soon enough.  Looking forward to finally beating this sucker.  :)

Also played some Dark Age of Camelot last night.  Normally I'm one of the main healers we run in our guild group but last night I got to dps for a change, it was fun.  I wound up with 8 or 9 deathblows and we were running roughshod on the other 2 realms for a bit.  Alas the night ended like it does too often, with us getting zerged down because we were wrecking 2+ groups with our 1.  I really wish Mythic would spend $20 and market this damn game, seems no one knows its still going.  Its by far the best PvE out there and the graphics are as good as any MMO around.  The biggest problem I have with the game is the server clustering.  Since the player base is so low anymore they've clustered all the old servers into 1 giant 10 server cluster.  And you can have 10 toons in each realm on each server, so you could potentially have 300 toons.  The problem is that so many people realm hop it makes for random population imbalance.  I wish it were like it used to be, where there were different servers (albeit they were clusters too) and you could only play 1 realm per cluster.  That kept things a little more honest and reduced the cross-realming you see today now as well.  But if you don't have the players to support multiple servers then this will happen, which brings the problem full circle.  Market the game please! 

Here's a fraps video our bard took of our guild group wrecking some albs back in January.  Bards play at the front of the group since they are the main CC class in Hibernia so you don't see a lot of the casters and especially healers (like me!) who play towards the back.  My druid, Balco (get it? he buffs too!), swoops in as we push forward @ the 40 second mark.  The bard is using a custom UI so it looks different than what you would see normally, plus I think he runs lower graphics settings.

And its Thursday (already!) so that means its time for a trip back to the 80s.  In keeping with the hot 80s musical women theme lets do some Human League.  The guy singing?  Scary as hell, especially in those last two videos.  But it was the 80s, so..
