A Little Too Quiet?
By: TernieLaBiscuit
By the title, I mean me. I haven't been writing much lately, about excursions and skirmishes. I probably should be, but I haven't. I've been working at my friend's office while his assistant is on vacation. I told him I'd be happy to do it until my kids are out of summer school. So now, I suppose, is as good a time as any to chat about things, right?
AvA.... oh how I love to hate you. I have a love/hate relationship with AvA. I love to go, but hate how it doesn't even truly seem like PvP. It kinda feels like you're running around with your head cut off just waiting to do something important. So AD's gonna hide in the Mine tower? Let's just siege them from the keep for an hour while they run around aimlessly. It's redundant, boring and quite frankly I'm sick of the stupid games AD players are playing in AvA. Let's spam Meteor to lag up the server so we can steal a scroll without incident. Let's run around in circles and farm the other factions because we don't have anything better to do. Irritating. I'm also irritated at ESO Customer Service for cheating me out of my $20 console copy, even though I emailed them during the window of opportunity. I wanted to buy in for console so I could have the option of playing both (in case any of my family members decided to get a copy on console and play), but Zenimax told me too bad, so sad. In return, I told them the same and cancelled my ESO Plus membership. I'll still be playing the game, I'm just not giving them another dime until it's worth it to me.
On a personal note, my birthday was last week. Got some cool stuff. Spent more money than I should have, but that's not really different than any other weekend, I suppose. I paid $150 for two NES games that are relatively rare and highly collectible. I got Bucky O'Hare and Wacky Races, which oddly enough isn't a racing game. I was able to get these two games for much cheaper than the going rate, and it brings my total NES collection to 530 titles. I have less than 200 to go before having them all (kinda like Pokemon).
I'll have to see, but June may be my last month of AvA for the rest of the summer. Me and the kids will have lots of stuff to be doing before they go back to school. Things like laying out at the pool, swimming, going to our local amusement park.
