World of Warcraft Burning Crusade Expansion
So yeah, I’m a geek. I pre-ordered the Burning Crusade expansion and then attended the midnight event so I could be one of the first to walk around in the new areas post-launch. (Which, if my gaming habit were completely rational, I would admit to myself that at the very least people on the East Coast would get in three hours ahead of me … not to mention others outside the US. Time-zone-wise, California is on the ass-end of the world.)
But time zones aside, I got my copy and greedily brought it home to consume new content, glorious content. I had been wanting to play a Shaman since beta, but my friends conspired against me by choosing to play the Alliance side. With the new expansion, my dream can be fulfilled! I immediately started Pavlovian reactions as I opened the box to find four … count them … four CDs. Holy geez! Ok … don’t panic … we’ll just install them and then get in the game!
…
Yeah well, so after I install the four CDs, it turns out that the patch that I made sure I downloaded and installed before I left for the midnight event … had to be downloaded and installed again. (Well, it only needed to be installed … the downloading was lickety-split because it was still on my hard drive.) Oh … and then, there was anoter little patch that needed to be downloaded and installed. Gah! Fine … ok … breathe. Just get it done.
Ok … now we can play, right? Yes! So I am now the proud owner of a 7th level Draenai Shaman with Jewelcrafting as his tradeskill. Ugh … four hours of sleep and now I’ve got work and after-work things to do tonight. This is going to hurt …
