So over Thanksgiving break I took the mandatory trip through my gaming library to play through some of my favorites while awaiting the grand feast that was being prepared. I played some tidbits of my all time faves including Star Ocean 2, some Guitar Hero with my brother, and a dash of Fable 2. All fine and dandy, a great holiday really.

Later that weekend, my brother revealed to me that he had re-upped our World of Warcraft subscription because he had installed the new expansion (we share an account and trade off who's playing when).

Lo and behold...I think I'm hooked again. He showed me around some of the new content, including the new Death Knight class, and my goodness I don't think I've ever been more enthralled with the game. In fact after watching him play for about an hour as his Death Knight, I decided that I absolutely had to have one and sat down for a few hours with the game again to start up my freshly created blood-spec knight of deadly awesome.

Unfortunately I left home having only invested about 3 hours into the new character to return to school. I made the conscious decision to not upload the expansion to my computer so I wouldn't be tempted to play (and in one cataclysmic swoop watch as all my hard work invested in this semester came crashing down). Funny enough, I've been craving the game. Literally craving. I can't stop thinking about how I should properly a lot the remainder of my talent points, or how I should go about re-speccing my hunter now that there are new talents in his trees. Not to mention it looks absolutely gorgeous on my Dad's 24 inch mactop.

I'm not sure why at this juncture I need to play again. I out and out quit when I came to school, relinquishing my (at the time) 60 hunt master to my bro so that I could focus on my studies and not become another WoW-fail statistic. I honestly haven't missed it. Sure I joke about it with my buddies at school from time to time, throwing in an occasional reference over some drinks for some lulz, but never enough to make me miss the game.

However, it seems that I have some unfinished business to take care of in Azeroth/Outlands/Northrend now. I play on Dragonblight, my hunter goes by Alocide, and my newly made DK is Toxico [creative, I know]. Hit me up and indulge in addiction with me...
