Weekend Wrapup: Anti-Social Edition

Even after all my whining last week about not being able to get into single player games, this weekend I went off the deep end and sunk nearly 10 hours into Torchlight. And signed up for GameFly… Yeah, I can't really explain that at all. After I posted that entry, a few people contacted me and gave me a few suggestions about how to dig into single-player titles, so I figured the safest way to really give it a try is with GameFly! Also, I was feeling a bit anti-social in general throughout the weekend, so solo-dungeon diving seemed like a great idea.

Torchlight

I created an all-new character and went with the warrior guy this time around. I also set the difficulty back to Normal instead of Hard because I really just felt like slaughtering stuff endlessly and not worrying too much about anything else. And I did just that. For hours at a time. And I had a blast! I really, really like this game and hope to see more great games come out of Runic Games.

World of Warcraft

I got about 2 random dungeon runs in and had to log out. Apparently, our home internet was not too happy with us this weekend. My fiancé's torrents weren't moving at all and my online gaming suffered from terrible lag. I'm still striving toward 77 though so I can get my flight form back. I have a feeling that I'm missing some great solo content, but most of the content that I'm missing right now is stuff that I already played through on my Death Knight, so I'm not too upset with missing it. Once I get my pretty bird form back I'll get back into some of the solo stuff, but until then it's dungeon diving for me!

What Did You Play?

So what held your attention this weekend?

I played the special weekend event scenario in WAR, the Ironclad all day Saturday. I hated it on the test server. But once I really got to know the ins and outs of the map I had a good time.

I made a new Necromancer/Mesmer in Guild Wars Prophecies. I enjoy the PvE in Guild Wars, with the beautiful environment, sense of exploration, and good stories. I like the combat system, too. One of these days I'm going to have to give random arenas another shot.
