Culture Shock:Long time no? I didn't have much to write about since nothing has really been going on. I thought I'd spare you all the boring details of my life. However, some new stuff has happened, so I thought I'd write about it.
Well I'm here in my new apartment in Wichita. I finally moved down here and got everything set up, but I'm still hunting for a job. I still think that it's rather funny that I went from being a Cornhusker (UNL) to a Wheat Shocker (WSU). I guess I can't go to schools with "real" mascots.
Haven't done much in terms of gaming other than finally getting my warrior in World of Warcraft to level 70. Sure that's great I guess, but now I need gear... I leveled all my alts to 20, and leveled a few other various characters beyond that on different servers.
Most of you have heard by now since Blizzcon, but Blizzard is coming out with another expansion for World of Warcraft called: Wrath of the Lich King, and it looks totally awesome! If I level one of my other characters on my friend's server, we are going to try and be the first to level 80. We have a warlock and two hunters who are going to try it, so it shouldn't be too hard.
I've been trying out a few demos recently as well. On the list are: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, and The Darkness. In my opinion, Pirates wasn't all that great. It basically comes down to you mashing the same button over and over again while walking through the movie. I know how excited I was about Blue Dragon before, but once I got to playing it, it wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I thought that the "Dragon Manifestations" were going to be more involved in terms of combat, but they weren't. All the characters are there for is story, and that's kinda boring. I also didn't like the fact that eventhough the characters were supposed to be kids, they had adult voices. It's just my opinion, but don't like playing RPG's where the main characters are little kids, which is why I wasn't too thrilled about Eternal Sonata. Eternal Sonata demo was an absolutely great RPG, it's just that I can't stand the kid aspect. Teenaged characters are where I draw the line. As for the Darkness demo, it was pretty average. It was fun to play, but I think it could have been a lot better. I also think that if I had an widescreen HDTV, I would have maybe appreciated it a lot more.
I've still got my long anticipated reserves for Mass Effect, BioShock, Army of Two and of course Halo 3. I've been trying to see if I can get my reservations transferred down to a Wichita GameStop or EB Games so that I don't have to drive 5 hours up and then 5 hours back to pick up my games. I guess mailing would also be an option, but I'd still have to wait a couple of days either way.
Speaking of GameStop and EB Games, while I was checking to see if I could get my reservations transferred, I mentioned that I was looking for a job and checked to see if they had any openings. Unfortunately they didn't have any openings at EB Games, but one of the managers at GameStop said they might have some seasonal employment for me. I'd mainly be helping out with all the upcoming releases this Fall and Winter, which I really wouldn't mind doing.
What I'd really like to do is maybe get a job bartending someplace. I've done the waitress thing for a couple of years, and I didn't like it all that much. My only problem is that I don't have much experience in terms of bartending. I know how to make quite a few drinks, but not the majority of them. I thought about taking classes, but every bartender I've ever talked to said that classes were a waste of time and money, and that it's better to apprentice for awhile to learn the ropes. I guess I just need to find a place that would be willing to do that for me out here. All I can do for now is keep searching.
