Expansions, Leaks, and Breaking Through the Queue

Star Wars Episode VII leaks

With so many things going on, I am a bit overwhelmed with games to play and things to see these days. First off, I’ll mention that there has been new leaks about Disney’s upcoming Star Wars films. The studio is definitely getting the hype machine geared up and I for one, am excited.

Fr. Roderick over at The Secrets of Star Wars has a post looking at the clues revealed by the various photos, and he goes even further into the details in his podcast. Be sure to check them if you are a Star Wars fan.

TMZ also discusses some of the other photos they got their hands on.

 

The Secret World gets an update

Issue 9 of The Secret World was released this week, and with it, the long talked about Tokyo addition.

I’ve got to make some time to get back into this game. It was always fun, and to this day, is the only game that could creep me out. There are parts of the world that, with it’s modern day setting, freak me out and scare me. Which makes it strange that I like the game so much because I am not usually one to enjoy scary movies.

As with the previous issues, I am sure there will be interesting storyline additions in Tokyo and we might gain some further insight into the mysteries of what the heck is going on in this world, as Tokyo is where it all began.

Wurm Online gets a new world

Apparently there is a new world that has been discovered over at Wurm Online.

Xanadu is the latest addition to the servers, and it is open to new players (or new accounts if you have been playing before). This new realm is the culmination of a bunch of changes and additions that the devs have been working on for the game. Apparently things are a bit easier for newbies – a tent is provided to all so they can sleep safely, and the tutorial has been worked on as well. Even with these additions, the world is still very dangerous to new characters so be careful venturing out beyond the starter settlements. This is another game I am itching to get back into, and with the new world, new exploration opportunities abound – I am excited.

Queing in Wildstar

The stars have finally aligned and I was able to match my available time with the queue times of Wildstar. For the first time since day 1 of the early access, I was able to log in and play a bit. I’ve seen posts littered around the web about people running around with level 50 characters and wonder if they simply stayed logged in for the entire week. Getting into the game, and I am only up to level 5 anyway, I again realize why I am so excited about this game. I’ve been playing a Spellslinger and I enjoy the combat mechanics so far and the story draws me in. It is nice to have a new scifi story to dig into – I like SWTOR and STO, but this is fresh. I hope when I get into healing and group content my excitement will continue. But most importantly, I hope the queues are behind us now.

Core Challenge continued

Finally, I have been keeping up with my core challenge. I am up to what I am calling my ’20 day’ and will keep working on getting through the challenge.

Day 7:

• 20 push-ups
• 20 second plank
• 20 plank reaches

After getting through today’s workout, I am looking forward to a bit of gaming and then I plan on seeing Godzilla.
