New Hunter Video

I'll be working on my new hunter video as soon as i can log into WoW I have some info on Beast Master hunters that i have before my break. So keep an eye out for my new video...Coming Soon!

Break Over

After 2 weeks of a WoW break im coming back to the game refreshed and ready to go.

Strict instructions from my other half that I only play WoW 3 nights a weeks and have 4 nights where we do something else as opposed to the 5 days in WoW 2 nights off like before.

So no more hardcore raiding for me. Playing in a more relaxed environment with no stress or anger.............Yeah........right!

Anyway thats the plan

A wow break

Taking a break from Warcraft for the time being. I'm a bit burnt out from raiding every week and dealing with lower than average dmg/ dps and ppl not listening. So after 4 long years a break is very much needed.

I'm not off the WoW grid just yet, I'm still replying to reader emails and doing the best i can to help those who need my advice on hunters. I'm still intouch with alot of friends from the guilds I've been in via vent and msn. I have no idea how long my break away from WoW will be, but i very much doubt it will be permanent.

So im playing a few other different games atm most are free to play with micro management facilities for those wanting to spend some money on them. But all optional.
Battle Forge
First of those is BattleForge
An RTS/ TCG a reall good free to play game with micro management to buy more cards

A really good game, and not easy to play, quite hard actually. Im very impressed by its graphics and its ability to really get you in its thrall and want you to play more, to farm over and over again for those upgrades to the cards you use the most.
Here is a screen shot of the action It has 1 player 2 player 4 and 12 player scenarios to team up and play for loot and also PVP sparring duels for you to pit yourself against other players to help you gain points and honour to buy those upgrades that just wont drop in the PVE side of the game.
All in all a really good game and fun to play. I've spent some money on the game and have 2 decks of cards ive spent money on a full nature deck and a Frost/Fire Deck.
There are Four types of cards Fire Frost Nature and Shadow. I have a friend who has gone shadow and found it quite hard to get to grips with as a starter. The Shadow deck is a great deck and ive read the cards for someone who can comprehend and use the deck to its maximum potential it would be an amazing deck to use.

Here is a wiki i found on the game http://battleforge.wikia.com/wiki/BattleForge_Wiki The loot table is very handy for those wanting to collect all the upgrades.

Didn't think i'd be so into the game but i am.

Next is Runes of Magic

Gettng back into that game after a while away from playing lots of patches to download and talk of some new classes are intruging. Warden and Druid both of which some very interesting.
Magic the Gathering: Planeswalker
Also started Magic the Gathering on the 360 Arcade but only started that yesterday. Taking some time to re learn the rules of the game. I'm sure i still have my White Deck in the house somewhere. :D Sad i know. Cost wise, it wasnt too bad i guess £8.25 for the 800 points i needed to buy it on Xbox arcade but cheaper than a store buy.



Steam Games
Completed Portal, World of Goo, Plants vs Zombies all of which are great and fun to play. All these games where so fun to play, amazingly intuitive, inventive and good at getting that sluggish grey matter in my noggin moving again. Very good for getting to thinking strategically, logically whilst having a blast at the same time.
Steam also have the new Monkey Island available nd i'm very tempted by that toovery nostalgic i loved the old MI 1 2 and 3.






Rock Band2
Also Rocking out with Rock Band 2. Singing and Playing bass is hard but alot of fun and getting Hangman to sing is almost impossible. Another game im really enjoying. Rock Band is cool and i must say ive found quite a few songs that i didnt think i would like, that i do like alot. From old cheesy rock to hardcore headbangers its alot of fun and sometimes really hard to play. Roping Hang in now and then to get his guitar. Yes we have 2 guitars for RB2, tho not a porper microphone :D



All in all leaving wow has given my alot more time to play other games ive wanted to play and never gotten round to. I feel liberated and lonely all in one go. WoW has been such a big part of my life for so long and the chat from guild and wow members was so constant the void that not playing WoW leaves is something major im struggling to fill.

Really liking co-op games to play with my Hangman wish there was more out there, like RE5 coop that werent big burley men that would be fun and appleaing for me to play from a female perspective.


All i can say is WoW is great and everything but take time away from it to do other things. I'm obsessed and still think of WoW everyday what im missing, things i could be doing in the game but im hoping the obsession will fade in time and i can return to the game refreshed and not the WoW obsessed raider i was.

:D

Uk Mobile Phone Directory

Nothing to do with wow but something i feel very stronly against


Maybe you have heard about this but early next week all UK mobiles will be on a directory which will mean that anyone will be able to access the numbers. It is easy to unsubscribe but it must be done before the beginning of next week to make sure that you are ex directory. I have unsubscribed and you may want to suggest it to all your friends and family who have UK mobiles or they could be swamped by unsolicited messages and calls. Removal is recommended by the BBC - see link below.

Just done this myself. Double checked it wasn't a scam and it is actually on the bbc website recommending to do this.


The Directory of Mobile Phone numbers goes live next week. All numbers including those belonging to children will be open to cold calling and the general abuse that less scrupulous telesales people subject us too.

To remove your number go here. (you need your mobile phone with you to do this, they text you a code)

http://www.118800.co.uk/removeme/remove-me.html

When on the site, click "Home" then "Ex-directory" this will remove you from the directory.

You can remove your number from this list, and tell all your friends - especially those with children who have mobile phones. I personally believe my mobile number is private and I should be able to chose who I give it to - none of us agreed to this when we sign mobile phone contracts.
