First, Bioware announces DLC for Dragon Age:origins. This should be cause for excitement right? No. “Have you ever wanted to play as Darkspawn?” No. No sirs I haven’t. Hmmm let’s look at the choices. Play as any one of my thinking, intelligent, strategic wardens making choices or even just adding more to her history so far, OR play as a mindless, barbaric, unintelligent hack and slash only monster? I’ll take door number one! I know from reading the boards there is a niche for this. And I don’t have to buy it. I just hope since they’re apparently satisfying this niche, they will satisfy the rest of us soon. Am I curious about it? maybe a little. But I also know that money talks, so I won’t pay to see it.

Then, I read my guild blog and see this Alpha info about tree druids. Don’t click that if you don’t want spoiled. Yes, I realize it’s alpha, and may change, but they seemed pretty sure that tree form was being reduced to a CD ability to allow resto’s to do some damage. Eff that. If I want to do some damage, I have plenty of toons that do it, and do it well. This will spell the end of my druiding. Unfortunately, she has all my pets.

Speaking of pets. I picked up a little “Living Aquarium”

It’s a mini bio system, pretty much self maintaining. Change the water twice per year that’s it. It came with a couple little critters I’ve wanted since my days at the pet store back home. A cute pair of African Dwarf Frogs.  They’re quite fun to watch hustling around their little home.

From the side he looks like a mini gator almost…lol

(I do love my macro lens)
