Ding 66, and I've left Fiery Pit.

Ding 66, and I’ve left Fiery Pit for awhile to return to Reclamation Rock. Leveling up is going fairly slowly. There’s a lot of grinding going on. Almost all the old level 60 content has been bumped up to level 70. This means that we’re all doing a lot of work just to get back to doing the content we’ve done before. I have reminders to go check out Sharandar and Dread Ring again. ...

Drone Flight #5, Central Springs Park, near the Manchester downtown. The drone still has issues once it gets too far away. I really like flying the thing, but I could do better. The video resolution is truly terrible. But, cheap drone. Connecticut in Spring.Drone - Center Springs Park.mp4 Drone 5 - Central Springs Park This was posted on Google+

I guess it was nice of G+ to assemble my drone video fragments into a “worst of” reel. Not the edit I would have made (I would – and did – strip out all the crashes and make this ) Still, there it is. #dronewemust MOVIE.m4v ...

Today’s installment of “What the heck is Brenda listening to RIGHT NOW?” A bit of older rock with Evanescence. I remember listening to them on long car trips… whenever I hear this song, I’m taken back to empty roads between distant California cities.Evanescence - Bring Me To Life Music video by Evanescence performing Bring Me To Life.

I switched TealLantern over to Munitions today, using the “free” monthly station cash so it didn’t cost me any REAL money. I’ve only worked on a damage build so far. In damage mode, Munitions seems to have slightly less active crowd control than Mental did, but somewhat more actual DPS. Like Hard Light, it looks like I’m better off relying on powers DPS than weapon DPS, especially since the crowd control effects wear off pretty quickly if I’m not keeping them up. ...

Standing outside my secret base in Pokemon Omega Ruby. I’ve been playing a lot of this lately, while Monster Hunter 4 still goes unplaced. Pokemon is just so casual. I had a big trading party with my grandson over the weekend, and with Kasul last night after foundries… Even after all these years, it still presses all the right buttons with me. Done the 7th gym. Taking a step back to rethink my team before I press on to meet the League.  ...

The Crew demo… I was going to talk about The Crew on +Pete Smith ’s thread, but, what the heck. Based on the G+ buzz around it, I downloaded The Crew last week and played it a bit. My video game-obsessed grandson came by this weekend and he put in his two cents as well. The actual racing is not that different from the kind of Need For Speed arcade racing you can find in any number of titles, online and off. The plot, such as it is, involves taking on missions to let you join and eventually rise to the top of the 510s, an old Detroit-based street racing club that has been repurposed as a smuggling ring run by a crooked FBI agent and “The Shiv”, the guy who gunned your brother down in cold blood and got you sent to the slammer (courtesy of the bad FBI agent). ...
