The plot thickens

Warning this post may (will) contain small spoilers of the new GW2 living world episode “the head of the snake”.

First of let me start with, why a new area every time? are they trying to release an entire continent? Anyways with that out of the way… As a human character myself it fell extremely satisfying being the Queens left wing for once, also she looked really bad ass. Although none was surprised when it was revealed that Logan liked the queen, i was surprised to the fact that the queen reacted to that statement, She knew, and she was angry that someone said it out loud, witch makes me think, MAYBE theres more them meets the eye, also this “E” letter got stuck in my head.

There is deftly something going on, but thats how  far i got into the story yet.

ALSO TAIMI WAS RIGHT AND ONCE I LOOKED I COULDN’T STOP I AM SO SORRY.

Quickly switching games, some of you might have heard that wow tokens can now be exchanged for battle net credit in America, witch lead to a crazy increase in prices in both America and Europe. I have to admit I was (am) looking forward to this, but the increase in prices left me a bit annoyed, although it is normal, I hope they stabilize (even tough when it actually gets live in the EU they will increase again). This unfortunately staled my “I’m gonna farm 1y game time”, however it makes me want to “farm” more, cause maybe by a new expansion comes out, the change will be live in Europe and i can buy it with gold.

 

 

Random thoughts and banter

I woke up with this weird idea in my head.

Heroes wear disguises not to be unrecognized, but because its more acceptable that way. People love heroes they idolize them, however if they saw an alien they would be scared, shoot him and dissect his body (superman), or if someone got bit by a spider and suddenly was gashing webs everywhere, it would proly be locked up or shoot. I mean aqua-men is cool and all but if people realize that those are actual scales…well you know the drill.

On another note i would love to tell you about games I’ve been playing, but the reality is I have slipped into my old habits of playing world of warcraft and guild wars 2. The Wow account is shared with my bf and I made a commitment since they released the tokens that we would not pay another game month, (I can srsly go out to diner at the local pizzeria with 12€) and I guess I should keep up with that, I have 2 months left, my aim is to have a year. As far as Gw2 goes I have basically only been doing the dailies, theres loads of other stuff that I wanted to do on that game, but once I turn it on I can only bring myself to do the dailies. Oh well its something.

I have however been playing a new game on my tablet, but I honestly haven’t played it for that long to make a judgment on it.

On a fully unrelated note the new “free app of the week” just came out, its apparently an app to keep track of your water intake, I think I will check it out now.

Organizing life at the tip of your fingers

At the end of last year my boyfriend told me about an app that would act like a to-do list but it was a game at the same time, I laughed but was intrigued. I downloaded it just to check it out and never touched it again. After a few days I decided to take a more serious look at it.

The app is called Habitica, there is also a browser version of it. I however use it on my tablet.

Like mentioned the app is sort of a game, you make your character and you do things to level up, gain experience, loot and quests, kinda like a rpg. If you lose all your health, you lose a level, and you can party and join guilds to do quests. The way it works is, you can set habits, dailies and to-dos.

Habits basically is were you put things that you want (or don’t want) to become a habit, like brushing your teeth or a bad habit like smoking. Habits don’t disappear when completed and can be completed at anytime with no time limit a good Habit will give you experience (and loot if you are lucky) a bad habit will damage you.

Dailies is something you set up to be done at specific days of the week (or everyday) that NEED to be completed, like per example update your blog (I don’t know were I got this example <.<). Dailies appear on the weekdays you have set them to be completed. Completing them will award you experience (and loot if you are lucky) however, failure to do so will cause you damage.

To-do’s are literally a to-do list, you put things that you need to do like per ex, call a work mate or organize your closet. Like habits they don’t have a time limit, but once you complete them they disappear. As others, completing them will award experience and the mighty loot if you are lucky.

For me Habitica is not so much about the game as it is to keep you organized and on top of things. It helps you remember all the things you need to do, and keep you focused on what you want to accomplish. The game in itself is a bonus.

So if like me, you forget a lot and need to focus, Habitica might be the change you need.

Mobile gaming

I know some of you are already cringing at that title, but lets talk real!

When we think of mobile gaming the first games that pop into mind are games like candy crush or farmville, and most of gamers out there are like “ugh how can you call this a game”, wile others try to actively hide the fact that its their guilty pleasure.

Lets not forget mobile gaming is great for people who simply don’t have that much time so they can take every break they get to play, like doing a massive number two, commuting, waiting for water to boil, even just before falling asleep.

The truth is, these days there are mobile games for literally every type of gamer, from your typical farmville like games to fully fledged games like xcom (yes, it is on the mobile store!) the latter ofc needing payment. I will now mention some of my own guilty pleasures, some games that I simply find myself returning to and cannot for the life of me uninstall from my system.

Cooking dash 2016 is a game that follows from a popular computer game called dinner dash, and oh boy was I addicted to those, so its only normal that I would jump straight into the app version. In the game you run a restaurant show, I guess? Anyways you take orders, you make food, you deliver orders. Being a free mobile game you ofc have 2 types of currencies, coins and gold, gold being the premium currency, (if you don’t like to trow money at your mobile for the premium currency, you can always get it via adds, dailies, or rare drops from VIP costumers) you need both currencies to upgrade restaurants, get better foods or open new restaurants, them you have special guests, that you can ask to join your show for boosts and more money.

I dunno theres just something about food and time management that really hits the spot for me.

Sims freeplay, yes, its a sims game, its exactly how you would expect a sims game to be, EXCEPT, it has quests, and most of your actions actually take a long time, I often compare it to real time, they kinda take up the same time as a real action would (also a premium currency that you can honestly get it easily for free). Even tough I enjoy the game, like the original sims I find myself playing it, get tired of it, stop playing, and them getting back to it.

You them have, ofc, other great free games like, Plants vs Zombies 2 or fallout shelter. However if none of the free games fancy you, due to “time gates” or premium currencies, and you really don’t want to pay for a mobile game, don’t fret, if you own an ios system (like an ipad or a iphone) and go to the store, every week on the top you have the app of the week, its a free app every week (often games), just need to download it, and it will be forever registered on your account. This week we had “lifeline whiteout”, a game were you are speaking to someone tough the radio, giving them advice on how to survive.

I actually had no idea about the “app of the week” thing, until a friend told me, and I was so annoyed when I saw his library filled with games that I missed out on. But that doesn’t need to happen to you.

So grab your phones with no fear! It doest matter when, or what, or the type of game, as long as you are having fun.

Quick info and small diy

So my sister came home from the UK, so that means I’m not home, I’m at my mother’s, it also means that I’m typing from my tablet and crying inside (keyboards are just so much faster) but at least i don’t need to send the pictures from my tablet to my email, witch is nice.
Anyways! Just before my sister arrived i had a lil issue, my lovely router (which was at my sisters room) did not fit anymore cause of the kids bed (wire to plug ratio wasn’t working), also it was extremely inconvenient to have it inside a room.

So it had to come out. I looked around the corridors and this was the only socket i could find. (I did saw another one but it was ripped to pieces)

the fact that there was furniture next to it was a plus.

But the wiring could not come from the floor (cause tiny kids) so with a lil patience persistence and lots of tape i made it go trough the top…. Slight issue (after i tapped half of the wall) the socket wasn’t actually working ( great job at testing it smartass), and there was no way the network cable could reach the living room. So kid’s safety cap back on.

It was them that i remembered that i had a wall socket in my room by the door.

i just had to puch the furniture a lil bit, as for the cord passing trough the door, it actually already had a large gap in the bottom so it wasn’t an issue, so lots and lots of tape after, TADA a working solution!

Sure it doesn’t look pretty and it probably wont hold out for long, but it was meant to be a quick fix, once me and my man get a bit more time in our hands we will fix it properly.
All of this to tell you, when faced with a problem, don’t panic! Be creative!

(Sorry no cats this time) :<

An answer to multitasking

I am a multitasker at heart, and one thing that always bother me was that the only way to watch youtube videos and browse other websites was to somehow put the video on VLC, not anymore, today i updated opera and this is what he told me.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

On another note, if you are into japan and some sort of game shows you should probably check out BEGIRAGONS on youtube. Its a bunch of Japanese guys (and some girls) and they make their own game shows, not only are they hilarious and their challenges out of the ordinary, their videos are really well edited.

Off i go to multitasking greatness!!
