BACK in the game

TANKING

Today I watched a video from Lore and the weekly marmot . The topic was tanking and threat WoW is a great game, and it has evolved over the years. Some love where it is now, some hate it, and some play it completely indifferent to the changes because they know they are just going to play the damn game anyways… well I appreciated the game mechanics from when I started to where they are now, and with millions playing it is a grueling task to try to appease that crazy population (proudly I am a member of that crazy population)

TANKING

Before the new changes

Tanks - Focus on keeping attention of the boss (sustaining aggro as we call it)

Healers - Focus on keeping Party members alive

DPS (damage per second, its virgin for Damage dealt) - Focus on Killing

After

Tanks - Focus on Staying alive

Healers - Focus on keeping party alive

DPS - Focus on Killing things

MY TAKE ON IT ALL

WoW as a game has become more of a calculation than a game to most hardcore gamers. In the same fashion as one counts cards in poker or black jack this game has been broken down by players so much that you are really expected to know the formulas in order to attempt End Game content.

I don’t think they ever meant for the game to be interpreted so analytically but it has and for me that might be the worst part.

OVER 9000

I feel like I just broke Vegeta's scanner and am about to go Super Sayian for the first time. I finally feel like I can see the door slightly cracked leading to my future and it feels...AWESOME.

Today we met a new associate Walt Cart who invited us onboard his small gaming project! I am obviously, somewhat giddy at the thought of finally working on a dream I have had since High School. If anyone needed a little boost of inspiration today, let my good fortune be your 5 hr energy shot!

Today I will start training myself, and I do mean training. The dedication it is going to take to be successful in this field is enormous and so I am changing my schedule up and 'putting in work'.

so BOOM here comes the ::BOOM:: ready or not...

Making Our Dreams come true

SO today is the first day of the rest of my life!

I know its as cliche as they come but seriously today begins a new chapter for me. Join me on this roller coaster of adventure as your Main Character and Leading Lady work to become the essence of Awesomeness.

THE DREAM

My ultimate goal: to open my own entertainment company.

Her Dream: Become a Senior Character Artist for Disney.

HOW

Well after taking 4 part-time jobs to make ends meat we stumbled across a Gaming studio that has the personality we think is necessary for our randomness!

I have also found an employer willing to give me that promotion that will allow me to spend more time on my craft.

Ideally these guys will interview my Lady and she will instantly be hired as a Character Artist for their upcoming game, then I can do voice acting for them, yadda, yadda, yadda insert fame and fortune the end.?.

But for now we are going to work our @$$e$ off Rocky-IV-montage-style, until the dream is a reality!!!!!!
