The nerdiness continues...

Not too much to report today.
"Blah blah blah blah World of Warcraft blah blah blah blah blah blah World of Warcraft blah blah blah." **If this sounds about right, don't bother reading on.**
Spencer finally got his game up and running and we played a bit last night. We went at it for a while with him using a freshly created character, (a Night Elf Druid), teamed up with my veteran level 25 Human Paladin. It sucked. We thought that my high-level character could just run around an whack dangerous high-level enemies, while Spencer followed along and collected mondo experience for the kills, but the boys at Blizzard anticipated that little trick, and punished us accordingly. The experience points that resulted from our mismatched team were pathetic, not even worth the time. So instead we disbanded the team, and Spencer took on some moderately difficult enemies while I just sat back and healed him repeatedly... good experience for Spencer, boring as shit for me. So I started a new character, a Night Elf Hunter, and we adventured together for a while. I promised Spencer that I would solo with my Paladin, and only play the Hunter when we were both online together, that way I don't advance too quick for him to keep up. (I'm a geek and play way more often than he will.)
Unfortunately, I think I like the Hunter character better than my Paladin. So you'd better play every chance you get Watson, or I might just have to leave you in the dust. It takes time and devotion to reach the level of anti-social geekdom that I've managed to achieve for myself.
