WRUP: AFK getting married
Oh, hi. I wasn’t expecting anyone here today — we’re closed. Closed for business. Yes sir, no WoW Insider today. Just a ship on autopilot until the next sunrise.
Why? Oh, you know, someone here at WoW Insider’s just “afk getting married.” That’s a pretty big deal. And while none of us were actually invited to the wedding (nah, whatevs, that’s cool, I didn’t want to go anyway), we did want to take the day off and pretend that was the reason. So yeah, this wedding here is kind of cool. And it’s happening … I don’t know, somewhere in the Upper Midwest? Also there are puppets here? I don’t know, I may just have had too many mimosas.
Congratulations, Adam. *pops champagne*
Adam Holisky (@adamholisky) /afk getting married
Allison Robert (@AllisonRobert) Some last-minute beta work, and then casting a critical eye at my banker on the live servers and deciding what stays and what goes. Also, ruing the day I threw out some Vicious Gladiator pieces to make space, because I got the hankering to transmog back into them and now they’re out of the game. Sad beartree is sad.
Anne Stickney (@Shadesogrey) Likely writing, and working on a side project that doesn’t actually involve writing for once! I believe we’re also fiddling around raiding on Sunday, although what we’ll be doing…well, I’ve no idea yet.
Chase Christian (@madsushi) I’ll be playing Path of Exile, a Diablo clone that’s still in beta. I’ve been having fun so far, though it is very deep and complex.
Chase Hasbrouck (@alarondruid, @alaronmonk) Adam wins the thread. I’ve got family coming for the weekend, and they’re sleeping in the room where my desktop is set up, so very little screen time for me. I just finished playing through Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions with my son, so I might pick up the newer one for his birthday.
Daniel Whitcomb (@danielwhitcomb) I’ll be doing some late-summer spring cleaning and otherwise taking care of business IRL, but if I have time, I want to run Binding of Isaac a few times and see if I can defeat the game with ???. I also need to do some spring cleaning on my WoW characters ahead of Mists of Pandaria, getting rid of old reagents and gear I don’t want to keep for transmog purposes, moving stuff to void storage, that kind of thing.
Elizabeth Wachowski (@leeatwaterlives) The baby has restricted how much I can use the laptop, so maybe I’ll work on some unfinished console games. Kingdoms of Amalur, Arkham City and Mass Effect 3 spring to mind.
Fox Van Allen (@foxvanallen) Certainly not doing anything that will trump getting married, so why bother?
Joe Perez (@lodurzj) Matticus is going to help me shake off my FPS rust in Counter Strike: Global Offensive this weekend. If nothing else I make really awesome bait.
Lisa Poisso (lisapoisso) Remember those auctions I talked about needing to get around to putting up last week? This week, I guess I gotta log in my banker and see what sold … /sigh Not a fan of banking and auctioneering.
Matt “Matticus” Low (@matticus) Wallin’ people and getting unbelievable headshots in Counterstrike: GO. WHOO!
Megan O’Neill (@slowpoker) Beta LFR or dungeons if no LFR. On live, probably doing 5-man achievements with guildmates to get their Volcanic drakes. (Heading South appears to be a popular last-getter.)
Michael Gray (@writegray) Now that the Humbling River is 4 weeks old, it’s time to cast a critical eye toward all that pregnancy weight I put on. Which is like, a lot. So I’m going to start excavating a patch of land with a good old fashion shovel to build a new office space, and figure the exercise will be good for me.
Olivia Grace (@oliviagrace) I can’t take Adam on, but afk Gamescom!
Robin Torres (@cosmiclaurel) Local carnival. Mists. Pirate Fluxx. Making sacrifices to the weather gods so that this heatwave ends.
