Slow weekend update. Oh, and have a picture of Paul Barnett!

As usual the weekend has been slow.  I’ve been spending a great deal of time leveling my Minstrel in Lord of the Rings Online and finally reached that “I’d rather strangle myself with my own lute strings” than continue grinding point.  Little Oboe WonKenoboe (yep, I love my name!) is now level 45 and closing in on 46 quickly.  I’ve been leveling with my buddy Arkeo in Angmar and we recently made friends with a Champion named Yalp.  With the added and much needed dps we have been blowing through quests like madmen… or madhobbits.  When the GI Joe said knowing is half the battle, they weren’t joking!  Knowing where to go for these quests reduces the guesswork and time to complete them by 50%.

Other than LOTRO, I’ve been spending my time growing my village in Travian.  The game is really cutthroat!  Players will literally go to any length to take you out and anyone you ally yourselves with.  I have a feeling that eventually the game will become too much upkeep to maintain the fun factor of “not getting too attached”.

Now for the picture!  Graev sketched a picture of one of our favorite moments in Warhammer Online Podcasts.  We hope you enjoy and if we don’t have the pleasure of your visit tomorrow, we hope you have a great weekend!

  • I agree on the Travian comment. My immediate map square at present is very very quiet there are definitely two or more villages that have been left to rot.

    The other bigger villages also seem devoid of growth but have alliances attatched & am sure if I were to move in on those I would feel a great deal of heat…we’ll see!
