Legion Approaches ~ The Green Team, Twitch, & More

I am still working on my Social Gaming course, but I did finally finish unit one! I have to get a move on though because I have to have it finished by the end of this month! And that's not really that far away...

But I have been distracted...

I had surgery in July and am in recovery, getting comfortable sometimes is challenging...

And then there is WoW...

The newest expansion is coming out August 30th so I thought I would be able to focus until then...but then, because I pre-ordered, I had early access to the new class, Demon Hunters. Of course I had to make one, and they are super awesome!

On top of that they released demon invasions, which are very fun! Plus, completing the invasions gives you access to 700 item level Legion themed armor. I may have gone a little crazy and now have a complete team...the "Green Team" as I refer to them. These are my max level toons decked out in the Legion gear. The invasions are also an excellent way to level so I have been dragging all my low level alts through as well. No rest for the wicked!

Most importantly, I have discovered game streaming on Twitch. I am loving this! Feel free to stop by, give me a watch, and give me a follower. The more followers the better, and once I get to 100 I am going to have a giveaway.

Watch me here!

You can also find my Twitch Fan Page on Facebook over here.

I have a Fan Twitter Page over here.

I also have a Curse Page over here. 

The Curse page is a local hangout where we can chat even when I am not streaming. I also post interactive polls and the giveaways I run sync through Curse. So I hope to see you there!

And now back to the homework...maybe...

Rise of the Phoenix

Ok...maybe not quite that dramatic...but yeah...

Hello out there! Have you missed me? Did you even realize I was gone?

Can you believe in two days it would have been 5 years since I touched this blog? And what a messed up 5 years it has been! Right after my last post I became very ill and had to have a major surgery in November. I was out of it for quite a bit after that. Started to recover slowly and just started to get back to normal when WHAM I got sick again last September. I am currently waiting for yet another pretty major surgery, so we will see how that goes...

Anywho....

So why am I back? Well, for the past year I have been so ill I have had to drop all my courses and just be calm and heal. Well recently I started getting the itch back and I really wanted to get back into some school work. I had no desire to dig back into my boring and overly challenging accounting courses so I looked to see what else I could do. I quickly realized I still had a few humanities type courses that I need to complete to round out my degree so I decide that was the best place to get my feet wet again. I combed through numerous listings of courses with little to no interest to me when suddenly I found the one...are you ready for it?

Social Aspects of Games, Leisure and Entertainment

I swear I heard it whisper my name!

I read through the synopsis and I was hooked. They actually require you to play video games for this course! I mean...what else could you ask for? Oh, and did I mention...no final exam either! You want in...admit it...

That being said, it definitely won't be easy. There are many tasks to complete and it will be quite time intensive...the estimated time is about 120 hours. But the good thing is I don't have to worry about leaving the house for a final exam (or even a midterm) and everything can be done from home if I do end up needing the surgery and being bedridden for a while. And who doesn't like gaming...right?!

My start date is November 1st and I am pretty excited, and nervous about it as well. I reactivated my WoW account just last week, so it feels pretty timely. Maybe time for a new ALT?

Now to look at what other games might help me round out this course nicely and maybe even checkout some of those non-fiction gaming books that have peaked my interest in the past. Any game or book recomendations for me? And please don't say EVE...that game gives me nightmares...

Game on!
