Angel



I decided that I wanted to try to make some videos again :)

This time I am trying a program in my PC (used my MacBook before). If I get used to using this program, I think it will be easier in the long run.

I edited out some clips from 3 episodes of Angel this afternoon.

The plan never really was for it to become a video, I am still learning the program.....
But I wanted to try to add music, and then the video was decent. So I moved some clips around to match the lyrics (very roughly)

I would not be happy with it normally. But for a first try I think it turned out good....

.... And I just had to bring some attention of the humour that was when Angel found out that he had a reflection in "Pylaya" and got somewhat obsessed with his hair *lol*

Other than that is is a mix of the episode "trial" where he tried to save Darla, and the 2 episodes in the dimension "Pylaya"

Facebook blocked this for copyright even before it was uploaded, so I don´t expect anything less from YouTube. So I will upload here and then link :P

Warlords Beta - Some concerns



This Gnome is starting to have some concerns ....

From what I have seen (lvl 90-92) it looks like we are in for a great expansion. 
It almost gives back the "TBC" feel, which is great !

However there are some things in the Beta and Blizzards recent move´s that makes me worried.


Mid of this week "inv wave 2" went out, it was a large one.

My conserns are NOT that the Beta is buggy and almost unplayable. 
I would be suprised if it was not, I am more concerned it won´t get the testing it needs. 



Factors of my concern:

* Time
It´s impossible not to feel Blizzards stress to push this out.

We have been playing "MoP" for a while now. 
I would not think there was anything strange, need to worry, stress, if it was not for the fact that the last raid has been out for over a year (?) with no new content.



* Unlocked content to fast

I hope they have some SUPER good builds they have completed with internal testing and/or with the alpha testing.

Becuase the decition to raise the level cap from 92-96 , that was a large step.


Mobs never stop to spawn, they spawn before the others are dead.

The quests are not linked together, so you move from one quest giver to another.
It is very unsmooth.

It is exactly the way I want it this ealy in the testing!
But I am starting to think that this is not "early testing"
This is push, push to the finish line.


* Addons and raid testing

The fact that they opened up for the use of Addons, is what set of my first alarm.

This is usually done at the very end of the testing.
Due to a simple fact that now players will focus more on their add ons and the bugs in them, than filtering out what is the games fault.

And now when I see the raid testing is starting aswell.
I am beginning to think, this is staring to look like a wrap...

Unless this is because they want to put focus on the Mystic testing later , which I hope.


* Blizzcon

I love my Blizzcon, and this year is no exeption !

Blizzcon is early November.
Blizzard has said somewhere over the years, that they never release new raid content during Blizzcon.

Both because everyone that works at Blizzard is working at Blizzcon.
And that they know there is always a race with the end raid content, and they don´t want players to not attend Blizzcon to raid.

I am hoping that Blizzcon might be the place where we get a release date (I think we will before tho)

And I hope that the cinematics are premiered at Blizzcon!

Which would set us at a game release at the end of November at the earliest.
Hopefully mid December.

If it was not for the fact that the last raid has been the only (raid) content for so long. I would be hoping for a January-February release.


* Garrisons

If we complain... For example "Cross realm" which I see as the spawn of all evil.
The reply we get is:
This is a MMO, a multiplayer game. It is not a single player game, deal with it.

Garrisons are very broken at the moment. And I have not done alot of research, so I am not quoting facts.

But for me the Garrison seem to get more and more foccus.
Becoming a "sales point" for WOD.

Sure, it has super pretty buildings, will show in another post. Smart functions. 
But it is staring to feel less and less otional.

So I don´t see the point in killing the "world economy by crafting/professions"
(that is a end result if everyone can do everything),

Sitting ALONE in my Garrison watching NPC´s walk around....
I don´t see the MMO in that....





* The Final product - Quality or Stress

Will we see a "Warlords of Draenor" that is released when all the testing is done?

Or will the game be pushed out before Blizzcon ?


I LOVE what I have seen so far!
Please take your time, and give us the WOD we deserve.

The WOD that will leave the game community stunned/gasping for air, admitting that Blizzard still "has it", and that this is the expansion to beat ;)

Warlords Beta

The reason I havent made a 2nd post here untill today, is that I simply don´t know where to start !

I have hundreds of screenshots.... Don´t worry, I won´t post them all *lol*
Going too try to organize the screenies, so I can show some of Draenor to those who don´t mind spoilers :)


Will give you a taste of whats to come, with a uniqe (for me) screenshot I took of a bug today:


I kind of sorta LOVE these Pink Boxes,
 and think that they should stay ! :D

Don´t tell me that was not a epic picture? ;) 


Will post a few more Screenies, so I don´t leave you wanting (too much) more : 







 






Over and Out !
(untill next time)

The day I got my Beta invite


Today I discovered my invitation to the "Warlords of Draenor" Beta !


Will probably make a separate post just to describe the level of happieness !


Today I will just post some random Screenshots of what I have seen so far...


It took a while to install the game (which I don´t mind at all).
I am not sure if I have installed it correct yet. But the game starts, thats good enough for me !

I have arrived!

I don´t think copy char is avaliable for EU (or maybe not anyone) at the moment.
So I had no choice but to start a pre-made level 90 char ....

Named it Pinkbunnie with 2 i´s. Just in case I miiiight be able to keep my original name. 
If not I will delete this one and use this name, ha


That look ....o.O


 1st time seeing the Gnomie ... Chaos :)


 It´s a map


 This gigantic dude looks to be our "portal/way" to the new starting zone


 I found Thrall !

Since this was the first time logging in, I was not preparred :P
Need to set up my talents/glyphs/spells... After that I shall return tho, ha


 Always time to strike a posé


I did the only "sane" thing to do....
Heart stoned in a Fierce way like a Hero !


 The size of that npc !


 Hai!


 The gigantic "man/male hands" are abit scarry !


 Almost same size as the apple , ha



 Not sure I approve of the "Bondage look" 
(Good don´t always mean Pretty, ha)


 Tried to copy my beloved Pink again..
Face say´s noooo :P


Bye Bye


Those were some of my first impression Screenshots!

If you are a friend of me, you know my style/gameplay by now .... 
If you are new....
I would describe it alittle like :

World of Warcraft the Pink kind of way

I say how I feel , and most likely pay attention to the things you would miss out on without me *lol*

Today I am to happy over the actual invitation, so I wont be playing anymore....
I know that might not make to much sence... But you see, I need to take the impressions one at a time!


Day 1 summary:


I love, love, love the new "look" of the Gnome.

I only hope that the hands are not done yet.
To me the hands are to large, to male looking !

So my first mission will be to give my 5 cent on the developement of the Gnome, try to get us normal hands again !

Over and Out


p.s. I haven´t logged in here on my blogg for quite some time. So if there is something I have missed, gimme a couple of days to sort it out :)

100 Baby Challenge part 5

Welcome back to my 100 Baby challenge
-The recap edition

Now we are going to get back into the challenge :)

I had about 1 week were I sorted out a bunch of ingame problems:

Moved to Midnight Hollow (realized I didn´t feel like playing in a dark world like that)

Moved the family again, this time to TwinBrook? (this is the current town)

Got the glitch that after 8 sims, the game only gave the sim "single births"

The last bug was horrible to sort out. Tbh I don´t know what I did in the end to fix it.
But now It works, which makes it more fun to play again.

For a moment there I was considering giving up.
This is the 3rd restart of me doing the challenge in total.
The last time the 8 sim glitch was the problem too, so I was sick of it :P

I will show Screenshots, and try to tell what has happened.
And then from now on, it will hopefully be easier to update here (I hope I will be able to stop replaying stuff, haha)

I kept the family in Midnight Hollow untill Spencer and Bella became teenagers, and the triplets children.

Then I took the chance to move to Twinbrook.
This way the childrens school performance was not affected !


Just some random screen shots that shows the children growing up
in the glitchy part of my gameplay, hehe


The joy


Talky talk


The face expression, lol







And let´s get a update on the ages and traits:



Spencer - loves the outdoors, light sleeper, shy, mooch (?) 


Bella - looner, friendly, hates the outdoors, bookworm 


Rain - genious, observant , ambitious


Miley - exitable, evil, neat


Bubble - loves the cold, artistic, workoholic (?)


Theresa - 2 pregnancy´s, 5 children


The 2nd and hopefully (for a while) last move:


 Here we go again


 The smallest things can upset a teenager lol


 Here she goes again


 She don´t look to excited about the topic of conversation :P


 Baby daddy number 3 perhaps?




This was alittle messy.
But now I am soon caught up too where the game works better and I have alittle better organization in my screenshots and more notes about ages and stuff...

Can only get better from here !


100 Baby Challenge part 4

Welcome back to my 100 Baby Challange -
What happened?


Been a long time since I updated here.
I got a couple of glitches in the game, which took a while to figure out.
And then I was away for a few days visiting family :)

Since I have played on and off, and even replayed some part multiple times, I was starting to give up on blogging about this, but think we can catch up ;P

In this part it will just be alot of text, alittle back story. In the next part I will continue with updates from the challenge :)



The following story is something I came up with when I discovered that the tripplets was infact werewolfs and not vampires as I thought.
I haven´t played the supernatural werewolfs, so I "cheated" and made them human...

Another problem I discovered when I had som many toddlers, was that the custom made world didn´t display the "sim green/yellow/red diamond" over the sims.

This was the first time I noticed this ! But when it became to chaotic, I realized I needed to be able to click on a sim, see who it was, and then take care of it.

I tried to place my household in a new save file of the world, same problem.
Tried to place the household in a EA world, no problem.
So even though I really did like Devils port, I decided to move.
I did that by saving the household with the house to the bin, and just started a new world.




The story of Theresa´s faith:

After the birth of the tripplets Theresa went for the checkup "the program" has.

When she was there it all started to get alittle blurry. Turns out they gave her something to make her sleepy instead of the vitamins.

Before she fell alseep, she remembers she heard something about the tripplets not being well.
Pantic started in her head.
She has a slight memory that she might have gotten a question to heal her children or be forced to leave the program and take care of her children alone.

Theresa was not sure what this meant at the time.
As a mother she ofcourse said she wanted them to do everything to help her children.

When she came too/woke up again, she was in the same house, but it didn´t look the same outside...
Everywhere she looked it was dark, there were no sun.

She found a letter with information from the doctor.

The letter said that the tripplets had been carriers/infected with a virus. This is the virus the program is trying to eliminate, the reason they are repopulating the world.

The program was satisfied with her fertility so they had decided to give her a second chance.

What did this mean?
Theresa was clueless but started to get flashbacks.

When she turned 18, she moved to get ready to start college. It was far away from her family, but that was a natural step.

When she got there, she was informed that there were no college to begin with (for her).
The program had seen she was the right blood type. So her purpose in life was now to be a part of cure-ing the world (which she never knew had a problem)

It was first now that she realized that she would probably never see her family again.
What had happened to them ?
Were they in a different part of a program ?



The screams of children snapped her out of her thoughts ....

What would happend now?
Where were she and the kids?
Was her children out of danger now?

Theresa knew she would not get a answere now, it pained her slightly....

100 Baby Challange part 3

Welcome back to my 100 Baby Challange -
The toddler invation

This is where hell kinda broke loose *lol*

Theresa had just given birth to the tripplets. (5 children in total)

I had made the poor sim (kinda litterally) so broke, that I didn´t have many options money-wise to try to cope with this situation :/

The options I had was:
-Extend walls of the house, get some more space
-Buy more cribs, I obviously needed 5
-Super skill the 2 toddlers in hopes to age them up

I didn´t have any simoleons so I was left with the later option.

Was kind of optimistic that I would be able to teach all the skills, age up the 2 toddlers to children, get them to use the bunk beds and we would be fine

.... That failed

But let´s take a look at the attempt, ha

Learn to walk plz

Screaming monsters!

I was unable to speed skill the toddlers.... 
The only thing I could afford was 2 baby swings

Spencer was out like a light even before the swing was turned on, haha

And some more screaming


Please pretty Please learn something!


After that traumatic and exhausting night/morning.
I realized I had nochoice, I had to age up the Babies.  I was unable to juggle all those things!

Now I was left with even less space, even more poor (I didn´t want the repo man), and alittle bit more frusterated, haha

I took Screenshots of the toddlers, but I might mess up their names bellow (will have to look in game later), atleast their traits are correct!

Miley
Exitable and evil

Bubble
loves the cold and artistic

Rain
Geni and observant (?)
This one looks alittle scarry, not gonna lie :P

Theresa was out numbered

Why do they keep picking one toy, 
just to crawl back and get another one? haha

Invation of the Toddlers

The girl has the nerve to dream about more kids
I am lost for words, haha

The tripplets came with a unexpected "suprise" if you may. 
Theresa was contacted by "the program", and was not sure what was going on or what was going to happend to her...

And that´s where I think I will leave this for today.

Stay tuned to find out what "the program" had in store for Theresa !
