January 19th, 2011

Saw the Warrior's Way today with Mom, and it was surprisingly good! Considering the reviews it received and, more importantly, the brief time it spent in theaters, we weren't expecting much, and while the line we were chuckling about (when the grizzled cowboy, played by Geoffrey Rush, says seconds before an ambush, "Damn... ninjas."), it was surprisingly neat. Really inspired setpieces during the final battle, and the Asian/Old West hybrid music was pretty inventive.

Final Fantasy XIV (PC): Did a few more leves, including all three level twenties, which is a good feeling! Unfortunately, the level ten quests seem to have worn out their worth, so in the future I'ma just warp around to do all L20 missions. No levels today, but I'll definitely hit PGL 20 tomorrow!

World of Warcraft (PC): Some farming on Cinnaris, some questing as Obme and saw the ruins of Auberdine, also getting her high enough to use an L22 shotgun. The sound is pathetically weak, and it changes with each shot, so it's disappointing. Got Cinnaris' smithing to 525, capping two professions, something Tam had only done on a single character before. Neat.

Eventually did some questing as my warlock, Dyneamite, in the Plaguelands. Actually remember doing the first few quests in EPL before as Cinnaris, but this was the most of both Plaguelands I've ever done.

I threw in the towel when we reached a quest where you're supposed to help the spirit of a young girl find her doll. I love stuff like that, helping ghosts on the other side find rest, and I also like how there's no controversy, one of the few WoW quests where you're a) not killing anyone, and b) there's no potential for moral ambiguity.

But apparently other quests that involve killing without discrimination over trifling matters are easier to swallow for some than ones that are unarguably morally upright and entirely noble. <_<; Welcome to the mentality WoW fosters, I guess!
