I ding level 11 and spend $1800
I’ve been playing Lord of the Rings Online with the boys, and soloing a little on the side, but there’s not been much to write home about. Mike is away for a few fight-nights so Mark and I created a couple new toons, Captain and Champion. It’s my second time through BreeLand which makes things easier. At level 10, my Captain purchased his first Harold. Having a flag-guy following you around takes a little getting used to, but he helps when I fight, you’ve got to love that. I soloed him to level 11 yesterday grinding mobs. It seemed easier than the Champion or Lore-Master I’ve tried before.
I need to make a decision on what I’m going to play while soloing, which game and what character. I could take one of my level 60 WoW characters to 70. Or, I could play one of my LotRO toons. I could always go back to EVE, I never felt like I was done there. Or, look for something new. Mike and I have been waiting for Pirates of the Burning Sea, I’m not sure when it’s coming out. I’m sorry to drag you into this, but it’s my primary MMO question of the week. Now that I’m back from vacation, it feels like I should be working on something.
I purchased a MacBook Pro laptop, it’s been shipped. I really wanted the smaller MacBook, because of it’s portability, but a co-worker convinced me that 99% of the time I won’t be using it mobile and that I would appreciate the Pros other features. Truthfully, it was the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics in the Pro that pushed me over the edge. Graphics cards are the gamers Achilles tendon I guess. $1800 for the basic MacBook Pro seems crazy when you can get a laptop for under $700, but OSX is better than Windows, period. I use a Mac all day at work and Windows all night. I think I’m qualified to judge.
