State of Decay is...

My current gaming addiction. I have played it every day for a week now. I haven't put this kind of time into a game in years. I have been lucky to play any game 2-3 times. This games addictive gameplay has kept me coming back for more. It is at its core a GTA game with a RTS world-building game on a small scale put together. Plus if one of your team dies, they are dead forever so be careful out there. You can be sneaky or you can play guns blazing but I am mostly a melee weapon user and kill as many zombies with cars as I can :) I am a little curious how the game ends and in a rare feat I may actually find out because this game has kept me coming back for more. typeatyalater

Marvel Heroes is...

Very different from most of the games I've been playing lately. Only having one button for movement or just strictly moving with the mouse, which is what I have been doing, is definitely a change. I am used to so much more interactive environments. This is a tunnel vision type of game where you just follow the path and kill the bad guys. I find it fun though. I picked Hawkeye and you get right into the action. The first boss killed me, cause I was totally unprepared for the fight to start. I haven't got to the parts of the game where other players are at yet so we will see how it goes. I don't have a lot to say yet so that will be it for now, typeatyalater.

Iamthetick is 88 and has been competitive :)

For a toon who has basically been leveled 85-88 through archaeology I am kind of surprised how well I am doing. I have gotten a few drops and dungeon quest upgrades but I have done maybe 5 Panderia quests with him. I am able to login for short bursts and do some archaeology and logout so it keeps me from burning out. Sometimes I will run one random just to keep my skills up. I am no great shakes but I am ok and that's all I hope for in my non grinding ways. Just a quick post today, typeatyalater K Out!

Lord of the Rings Online is....

Ok, for lack of a better word. Since I am all of level 3 my opinion should be taken with the appropriate salt grains. I am getting used to the differences from Wow. It actually plays a lot like Fallen Earth and has that same kind of graphical feel. I don't know if the graphics really speak to me the same way they do in Fallen Earth but it has it's moments. I like a lot of the design ideas with the voice and talking bubbles in the game. It is also really easy to get into the game. I will probably only play it very randomly but I have been curious for a long time and being as I have been playing Wow some lately I wanted to do a apples to apples comparison. Well, since I didn't put too much time in that's all I got. typeatyalater

Iamthetick is 87 - we'll see if it sticks

I played a little over the weekend. I am starting to notice a pattern, I will get on a roll with a toon and get up to 87-88 and I will start to notice I am struggling to compete a little bit and then I start getting bored and set them aside. I have 2 toons almost 89 but have no desire to even log into them because they are not competitive. The worst part is I don't really care I am not planning on raiding at all but I do like to run the occasional dungeon and I hate feeling like I am the weak link. I just want to contribute you know. Well I will see if the same thing happens with my hunter I have been good this time I have not spent any time on any of my other toons except for mailing off items and banking spare junk. That's about all I got so thanks for all the fish, typeatyalater. K Out!

Housecleaning of Blogger done... mostly

I have for the last few days been going through all the blogs I followed and cleared out anyone who had not posted for over a year. Since I had not done this in a long time I ended up removing over 80 blogs from my feed. Since I post so infrequently I have not been following many new blogs out there. I am going to try to find some more blogs to follow and comment on I have a much more varied gameplay style now so I am going to try to find and highlight some of these that interest me (Android games, Xbox 360, PS3, MMO's, Steam, etc) I have been wanting to blog more and I think finding more entertaining things to read may increase my own productivity. I make no promises I have a tendency to say hey, I'm back and then not post for months but hey, wishful thinking never hurt anyone right

Iamthetick is 86 woot!

So I have been playing a little bit here and there and I got my hunter to 86 today. My leveling method is very simple I am leveling my archaeology so I can try to get more mini-pets and queueing up for random dungeons. Occasionally I will do some pet battles and when I get to the higher levels I will start herbing too. Although thinking about it I should herb some of the lower herbs for auctioning too but I really don't want to do any auctioning, that is one of those menial tasks in game that I get bored with quickly and causes me to quit playing. I know I will have fun grouping with my friends if I ever get to 90 but the leveling slog is killing me. Well I have 50+ days left to try to get there with one of my toons so good luck to me, lol.
