Battlefield | Nobody Reads This

Uddershock – Rival to Tankcow?

James Reynolds | July 1, 2008

Fear not worthy internet space I speak to as if it were a person for I have not left you yet! It is true that I have slacked a bit here and that’s mostly Leslie’s fault since she moved today and is now officially residing in Scumhampton! I shall be going there tomorrow (wireless ADSL router in hand) to see her. I actually gave her my old Tigermax Compy so hopefully if all goes well she’ll be online and pestering us some time soon!

I’ll get the WoW stuff out of the way since there isn’t much of it. As you may know it’s the Midsummer Fire Festival at the moment, what you may not know is that simply putting out the bonfires (i’ve done ALL the Oldworld ones) you can earn yourself a pretty penny and some sick experience. I decided, as an experiment, to see how much experience I could get for my Rogue Dreadmoore currently at level 68. I earned 547,000 Experience for doing nothing but walk around and talk to NPCs/Fires. I won’t lie though, it took me quite some time – but I did ding in the process, get all 4 capital flames and that nifty flaming brazier thing.

Check out the Photobucket Gallery Dreadmoore’s Fire Festival Adventure!

I have also decided I am going to try my hand at leveling an elemental shaman – He’s only level 7 at the moment (Mulgore is SUCH a bastard to level through) – but hopefully the end of this week will see him reaching a level from which I can start getting Mark to repay me all these runs I do for him and pimp him out in the Fang set.

Be sure to chuckle at these Costume shots from the WWI:

Last WoW thing is that if you’re a Fan of Oxhorn Brand Movies like me and were curious as to exactly what he looks like … Then his latest videos feature actually footage of him. Hat, Suspenders and all.

Check Out Oxhorn’s Wegame Page.

On non-WoW related news my next Review game will be Battlefield: Bad Company, a game which has somewhat caught me off guard with it’s surprisingly fun gameplay style. It plays like a traditional Battlefield game … With destructible buildings in a Modern war environment. I certainly look forward to giving it a shot. I’m not sure if I linked it last time but my review of Aces of the Galaxy is up.

Fancy winning some games? There are competitions running on XE all the time!

So Me and Mark were playing some Red Alert 2 recently (no YR) and we decided to do the medium Ally co-op campaign on the internets where you play as the Koreans. It usually proves to be a case of “How Quickly can we lock the map down?”. One level the island literally only joined for about 6 squares in the middle … So at the beginning of the game I rushed my MCV up there and started building a wall. A wall of death some might say. From then on the AI was just easy pickings as we strategy bombed them into the stone-age.

Wall O’ Death.

One last thing I want to talk about before I leave you with a few video links is a series they run on The Escapist called Unforgotten Realms. I don’t really know what to tell you besides you should definitely watch it … It’s about two guys one of whom is obviously a nerd and they do some D&D. The other guy totally takes the piss and much hilarity ensues.
