Today was April Fool’s Day and as such there were a lot of fun website gags going around. The one that stands out in my mind was that Google advertised a new energy drink which doesn’t seem that far-fetched given their crazy innovations over the past couple of years.
It was an uneventful Friday today. Jen got home from work and we had dinner together.
After dinner I made plans with Craig to play World of Warcraft while Jen settled into a girly movie upstairs.
Craig had been a bit active over the past week and his character is now level 58!
I hooked up and Craig (who already got a group together) to go to Maraudon. There’s a quest in Maraudon that I really want to complete in order to get a cool new sword for my rogue. The quest is to kill some princess and that’s what we set out to do.
We did pretty well for the most part but it was a slugfest just getting to the princess. We had a couple of wipes and that set us back quite a bit. This was definitely the most difficult encounter I’ve been involved in since starting WoW.
Finally, hours later we reached our quarry and attempted to slay the ‘princess’. It was actually a grotesque giantess who had some sort of area-effect attack that hurt a lot.
We attempted it three times and every time lost. Craig did a great job and held his own quite a while but in the end we simply didn’t have enough firepower to slay her so we called it a night. It was pretty frustrating because we invested so much time and had nothing to show for it.
I was up pretty late. Jen didn’t like her movie and went to bed before I was done with my gameplay.
Dude, its a friday night, you should be banging your wife, not playing some game.
