Weekend Playlist - Mike

Sadly, it is Monday. Goodbye weekend. I'll miss you dearly. You were good, truly. I had several hours of game time allotted to me on your 2 days and one night...most of those hours I flipped through cards with my mouse and one night I ran around a zombie infested world...trying to find my friend.

Haha. That last part is frustratingly true, as my friend Ronnie can attest to. He told me about a game, that is NOT for the kiddos, called DayZ. I downloaded the game and mod required to play and tried it out with him on Saturday night. It was exciting, being in a new world I've never been in...but the game play was foreign to me. None of my WoW controls came to light when trying to control my character in DayZ. Ronnie came online to join me...we ran around for 2.5 hours trying to find each other...but alas, we never did. He recommended that I get a new mod for the game, Epoch, that started to download Saturday night...it is still going as I type this on Monday. So far, DayZ has become DayARRRRRRRGH! We will see if that changes when this newer mod downloads.

I got a little bit of Warcraft time in, and achieved level 99 with my Paladin. Not too much to report here, I feel like the WoW train is leaving the station, unfortunately. Patch 6.1 is releasing tomorrow, so we will see if that changes my mind.

Rexxar be owning some card tables!

Most of my weekend gaming centered around playing cards. That's right. Hearthstone has caught my attention. Why now? I'm really not sure, but I watched a stream of someone playing it on Friday night and decided...let's do this! I got in there, messed around with the crappy cards I had, made the best decks I could...and attacked that Innkeeper with everything I had! 

I started unlocking some pretty solid cards and I become very efficient with the hunter hero (Rexxar) and the multiple beasts I can throw down in front of him. Why not take my talents online and battle other players?! YES! Great idea! It started off as expected, you win some and lose some. Then I went on a streak...got overly confident and thought I was amazing.

That tune changed quickly, though. I noticed that several of the players I battled more recently had WAY better cards than I did. What happened?! HOW ARE YOU GETTING THOSE SWEET CARDS?! Frustration...and 11:30pm on Sunday night caused me to shut the computer down and steam on the couch while Brittany finished watching Teen Mom.

I must research how to get these epicly amazing cards! I must win! FOR REXXAR! So, I googled. And now I will start my career in the Arena.

And that...was my weekend playlist. Boom!
