Derailed by LoL

As I posted on Facebook awhile back my laptop, Zoey, is fixed now! Yay! I tend to go a bit stir-crazy wtihout my laptop.

Also since I took the time to setup my desktop these last couple of weeks I've somewhat joined the LoL (League of Legends  which is from some of the people that created the Warcraft 3 map/game DotA) bandwagon that my BEDA group/gamer friends created. Unfortunately the Mac version of the game just started Beta testing, so I won't be able to play any at school until it releases. The best feature of the game is that the game revenue is based on micro-transactions within the game, meaning that the basic game is free to play. Let that sink in.

Free to play.  And its found here.

It's great for me since I'm fairly casual now, also its a great way to get people to try your game. Which reminds me of a conversation I overheard this weekend, which went something like this:

Dude, have you heard that Lord of the Rings Online is now free to play.
Orly?
Yeah, I think I'm going to give it a try. You?
Probably not, I haven't really heard anything good about it.
But it's free! FR-EEEE!


The downside to playing the "free version" is that I don't have as many playable characters to choose from.  However, I always have the option to buy more "heroes."

Wow, I was totally not planing on making this a post about LoL. Long post, woo!

I start school again for the fall this Thursday, which means that I move in on Wednesday. So, I'm currenlty procrastinating packing. Actually I'm just bored of folding laundry. I absolutely hate the stunningly boring chore of (folding) laundry. Sorry, I had to hit the Dr. Horrible reference. I don't mind the rest of laundry, and I really need to have all my stuff packed up for Wednesday. And yes, my school has us move in the day before classes start. My next post will probably be from my new dorm room, with pictures of it to follow soon. Also, I have a bunch of pictures I need to actually put on my computer and deal with, things like cakes, cookies, and living room forts that I've been meaning to post. Those should also come soon.

  1. Our school has people move in the day before classes too. STOOPID. Although if you were me you got to move in a 6 ah-freaking-clock at night the night before you had to be up at 7am for training.

    Anywhoo, it took me till like this weekend to finally settle in.

    You better show me new picture of you dorm as soon as you are settled in! And let me know all about your new roommate and classes.

    Also, I hate you. I MUST go watch Dr. Horrible now and while I don't HAVE to do anything for tomorrow, there is a list of at least 10 things I SHOULD do in the next hour that is now not going to get done.

    lol
