WRUP: WRUPing on the 4th of July

- Adam Holisky (@adamholisky): Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a land side. No escape from reality. (Which means I'm playing my Mage/Druid Horde dualbox toons).
- Alex Ziebart (@aziebart): It finally seems like I'll get some time to dig into leveling Turpen again, so that's what I'll be doing in between raids, 4th of July celebrations, and working.
- Amanda Miller: Going after Yogg once again. I might try to fit in a farming session or two.
- Daniel Whitcomb (@Danielwhitcomb): I've been bitten by the bug to level my Blood Elf Paladin for some reason, so I'm working on him. He also only needs to kill Ahune for Flame Keeper, so I'll see if I can grab that for him as well. Oh yeah, I can also mention that I am gonna start my weight loss regimen this weekend in the geekiest way possible -- with Dance Dance Revolution.
- Eddie Carrington (@Brigwyn): Another no WoW weekend for me. I'll be flying cross country to the Philly FP on the 4th and flying back home on the 5th. At least I got the Flightpoints. Otherwise it would be worse than trying to run from Darnassus to Ironforge at level 10 before WoTLK came out.
- Elizabeth Wachowski: Continuing my hiatus from WoW, I will be playing Fallout 3, Prototype, and Final Fantasy Tactics.
- Lisa Poisso (@eMused): We are celebrating my daughter's new Midsummer Fire dress by, ummm, not wearing it and staying offline for the weekend. ;)
- Mark Turpin (@The_T): I'll be leveling up some Warlocks, got till the end of the month till my RAF runs out, just got these warlocks and then some Druids to level up and then I'll have all the classes to 60.
- Matt Low (@mattycus): Farming mad badges and preparing for epic gems. Everyone's expected to replace all blue quality gems with epic ones when they're available. That means Naxx. Fun!
- Matthew Rossi: Leveling another DK through Outland, I usually seem to peter out around level 72 for some reason, we'll see if this one makes it.
- Robin Torres (@cosmiclaurel): This weekend includes the zoo and a birthday party, so I'm not sure how many alts I can get through their level appropriate Midsummer achievements. I've also been distracted by taking in-game videos -- we'll see if anything comes of that.
- Zach Yonzon (@trymykungfu): Busy making travel arrangements for BlizzCon in August on top of working on my personal site, business, and a long-forestalled comic project. Which means it's an awful time to dust off my Shaman, whom I thought would finally get some love and get to 80. Back to the shelf with you, Troll!

Going to see the Phillies game!

I'll be playing a little bit of Aion, and a little bit more WoW. Mix that with a little alcohol and a little bit more grilled food on a hot summer day and it's pure win!
Rai Jul 4th 2009 11:28AM
Alcohol, WoW, might even level an alt. S'all good.

Started a new undead DK. I'm finally going to experience a little bit of the horde side of things, since I'm usually strictly alliance. And when I'm not doing that I'll be watching fireworks.

I'm sick as a small hospital with the flu so in bed with laptop and a bit of WoW and a lot of sleep :(
JustinScott Jul 4th 2009 11:57AM
Thinking of re-rolling a new alt. No holiday festivities planned for me(yet!). So me and a 12 pack are gonna get some WoW time in. Probably gonna start more on some horde toons, most likely a Belf mage or a Cowman warrior, never lvl'd either classes past 20 =P

Tactics, nice. Probably the best FF game (imo).
JustinScott Jul 4th 2009 12:06PM
Even tho FF VII is considered by many, many people, the best-selling console game of all time?
Maddeh Jul 4th 2009 4:52PM
notice he said, in his opinion
Travis Jul 4th 2009 12:18PM
I have no idea if my other comments went through, but best selling doesn't necessarily make it good. It was fun when I was 13 and getting into RPGs, but it hasn't aged very gracefully. I can't stand the random battles, the gameplay, the storyline.. whereas with Tactics I love the story, the gameplay, and don't mind the random battles as much because they aren't *so* random like VII's.
JustinScott Jul 4th 2009 12:26PM
"but best selling doesn't necessarily make it good."
That doesn't even make sense. If its a best selling game, then obviously a LOT of people are buying it, and why would so many people be buying it if it's not good? Doesn't make sense, its like wiping before you poop.

Cruis'n USA was a "bestselling" game for the N64 and it was a pretty horrible game.
Osaka Jul 4th 2009 12:27PM
Helping my girlfriend on a project, then going to see fireworks with her after work. Hopefully finishing the Midsummer event and getting that Flame Keeper title.
Zantrix Jul 4th 2009 5:07PM
Working on the 4th of July is ridiculous!!! But it gives me time to get my frocane mage up some more by leveling in Dragonblight and Grizzly Hills.
Spiraea Jul 4th 2009 12:56PM
I'm leaving for Atlanta tomorrow for a week and not guaranteed an internet connection although I've loaded WoW on my laptop just in case (which surprisingly plays WoW better than my desktop..). If I can get on, I'll finish championing all the Horde races (just need 3 more seals for Thunder Bluff) and then questing in the old world to cap off exalted with both Thunder Bluff and Trolls for my Crusader title :)
Steve Jul 4th 2009 5:38PM
You know you can get the rep reward from doing the other Argent dailies, right? That's how i got the crusader title on my Pally, which I think is kinda badass with the pally mount. It all kind of goes together nicely: the class, the mount and the title.

@justinscott:
Just because a lot of people of buy something does not mean it is of quality value. Don't confuse something being POPULAR with something being GOOD.
For example, Transformers 2 is crap yet it is the number one movie.
frdmg Jul 4th 2009 2:06PM
Just becuase you don't like something, doesn't mean others don't. =)
It could be popular because it IS good, you just don't like it.
Transformers 2 is number one because ALOT of people have seen it, just because you didn't, doesn't mean it is a bad movie overall. =)

Waiting for Prototype to show up i ordered it today got a £10 discount online (WOO), and probably playing on the PTR finding more warlock and mage bugs.
