  New Games are Acoming!

  Yes I know, I still haven't finished KOTOR 2 or Spellforce Shadow of the Phoenix or the PS2 Kingdom Hearts....but that doesn't stop me from being excited about a couple of others almost in my grasp. Dungeon Siege 2 in just a few weeks time. The original DS was such an innovation in so many ways, upgrading skills by actually using them and best of all, seamless. By that of course I mean absolutely no loading screens. The game itself was excellent and I hope with DS2 that another innovative chapter has been added to the DS story.
  
  Then the long awaited Fable, TLC. I loved the original Fable and this is one I simply cannot miss.
  
  After all the adventures in Azeroth from the woman who declared *online, never, not for me*, I am enjoying WoW so much I am actually contemplating taking a very serious look at both Dungeons & Dragons online and the LOTR online when they are released.
  
  Tired of WoW - NEVER!! but a change now and then is always fun!
  
  Happy gaming

  The Never Ending Story

  Back from a great vacation, read a lot (not as much as I would have liked, but more than I was actually expecting to!)
  
  Time to catch up on forum postings and journals (have patience please, I will get there )
  
  Meanwhile enjoying WoW as usual, been in the "Inner Sanctum" of Molten Core, though not taken down the ultimate bad guy yet.....its tough!
  
  Also exploring Azeroth from the Horde point of view, approaching level 30 with my Tauren Druid, and all I can say is ----- Druids rock!!!! ---big time!!!! Can definitely see her reaching level 60 eventually as well.
  
  I have spent so many hours in WoW I think I could have had 3 characters up to level 60 by now, but I have to confess to actually enjoying starting up and playing new characters, its very relaxing somehow. A side effect of all the different characters I try (or have tried) is that this has given me an insight into how other classes play, which I notice now with the high level instance dungeon work is a definite advantage to understanding and working with other players characters.
  
  Perhaps there will come a time when I will be saying....WoW...nah, can't be bothered....but its certainly not going to be anytime soon I think!
  
  For all those playing, continue having fun
  
  For those not, enjoy your games as well

  Shhh.....Do Not Disturb

  Its vacation time! Vacation for me means a few weeks away from the busy daily routine with lots of time for reading/walking/talking. I read a lot. I average around 120 to 150 books a year normally, but WoW has definitely had a huge (negative) impact on my reading rate! Time to catch up on all those books looking so invitingly at me from the bookcase. Not sure how many I will manage to bring back as "read" but I am taking at least 12, (ever the optimist!).
  
  Deciding which to take is always a problem....I enjoy fantasy books, but also detectives, thrillers, sci-fi, even an occasional horror story. I think my companions are going to be books by Robin Hobb, Kathy Reichs, Ian Rankin, Mercedes Lackey and maybe a touch of Stephen King or Jeffrey Deaver....*drool*
  
  Oh yes....ready to go!
  
  Bye for now
