Oh man, I love the zombie event. It's so funny when like a whole town or city is taken over by zombies. Sure it sucks when the flight master is gone or something, but it's a small price to pay for the good times. I wish they'd do stuff like this more often.

North Park Clubhouse is in Robinson Town Center -- exits 1 and 2 off of PA-60.  The address is 1960 Park Manor Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA, 19205.

CMU is Carnegie Mellon University -- address is 5000 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA, 15213.

According to Mapquest, CMU is only about 15 minutes away from me, and the other place about 30 minutes. Is the CMU machine open to anyone, or is it only for students of CMU and their friends or whatever?

I'm not particular fond of kodos, so yay wolves.

I think kodos are cool. Especially the epic ones with the war drums on the sides. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on my side when I had the chance to get myself a kodo mount (from brewfest). It's okay though, because I have an Amani War Bear which is no longer obtainable. And I got mine for free, plus made a few thousand gold selling them before the patch .

Now I just need to save up ~40 gold (only 31 gold to go...ugh) to get a mount.

lol 40 gold. That should be easy with the inflated prices of stuff these days, even for low level greens. Back in my day, those were 90g and low level stuff didn't sell for much on the AH.

I decided that I'm going to drop Scryers on my druid and get my rep up with Aldor. I'm doing this for two reasons. One, to get the feat of strength achievement for getting exalted with both (if it works; from what I read on Wowhead, it might be bugged, though I'm sure they'll fix it eventually). And two, to get the tabard. I've determined that, without spending real money for UDE points, it is possible for me to get exactly 25 tabards before WotLK, which is just the amount needed for the 25 tabards achievement, which awards another tabard. I'll have to do a lot more rep grinding than just Aldor to accomplish this, and there isn't much time. I need to get exalted with Consortium, Kurenai, The League of Arathor, Sporeggar, and the Keepers of Time. So in my near future, there will be much much grinding, and quite a bit of PVP for that League of Arathor rep, plus AV marks of honor which I need for two other tabards (the AV one and the knight's colors).

Life: sucks.

Job: I work at a USPS remote encoding center, but it's closing in November so I'm getting really shitty hours now as the time draws near, and I'll have to look for a new job very soon.

Projects: none.

I've been playing my hunter a lot since 3.0.2 as well. I specced BM and got a core hound pet from MC at level 65 (just had to have the original)! My hunter is 68 now. Perhaps I'll finish the grind to 70 today since leveling is so much faster.

You don't happen to play DDR/ITG2 at any of the prime locations near Pittsburgh (Northpark Clubhouse, CMU, etc), do you?

No, I've only been to one arcade with an ITG machine since I moved here. I wonder how far those places are from where I live.

How's that?

It's very good if you like Harvest Moon games. I can only really think of one problem that I had with the game, which I've since gotten used to - the camera control is really bad. You have almost no control of the camera. The only control you can have is if you're outside; you have to stop and hold Down on the D-pad and you can look around a little bit using the wii remote, and zoom in a bit with the joystick. You can't even look all the way around, just a little bit in each direction. It sometimes makes finding weeds between tall crops or seeing if you missed watering anything difficult. I haven't played much of the story stuff yet. I spent most of my time so far farming, upgrading my house, and building a relationship with a girl (Maya) who I married on Winter 1 of the first year!

At this time, I own two plots of land. The main plot (where I started) is where I farm crops and keep my animals (you can only have the coop and barn on your main plot). I have four chickens, four silkworms, a calf, and a foal. On the second one, I planted a few trees which drop stuff (apples, cherries, etc) in certain seasons. I still have a lot more of the game to see (including other places to unlock) and people to meet.

Wow, I last posted in this thread all the way back on page 1. If anyone cares, here's an update of my characters (yes, I have more than one now!... well I always have, but the others were too low level and inactive to mention).

After over two years of raiding with Legacy of Honor on Khadgar, the guild ran into really tough times and was having trouble rebuilding, so they decided to call it quits for raiding. I transferred with some of my friends from LoH to raid with a guild on Dalaran, which also died about two months later. After that, I transferred again to Blackhand to raid with Transcended (#13 in the US on Wowjutsu). I've been there for just over a month now. My armory: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Blackhand&n=Skorion

I also leveled a Draenei Paladin (holy most of the way - went ret for a few levels in the 40s but didn't like it)! She came to Dalaran with Skorion, but I haven't transferred her to Blackhand yet. Armory: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dalaran&n=Haruhiism

And finally, I've been leveling the second character I ever made - my hunter. She sat at level 28 for a really long time, but while I was leveling my Paladin, I also put some work into leveling her to 49 (not a twink, just coincidentally where I stopped playing her again). She sat at 49 for a while again, until I saw the new hunter talents in WotLK. She's always been Beast Mastery spec, and will remain so in the expansion. I can't wait to get some exotic pets, like a core hound, and perhaps one of the new and rare Spirit Beasts. Anyway, she is now level 64.

Aside from WoW, I've been playing a lot of Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility for the Wii, which was finally released earlier this month after countless delays.
