Anime, WoW, me?

There is an amusing thing I’ve noticed with me and games, mainly roleplaying games, but yeah. In nearly any game I’ve played except ones where I conciously choose not to I seem to get myself into a position of leadership. I’m the man that decides where we should go or what we should do. How do we get into this place, beat these bad guys. Its amusing mainly because its nearly the complete opposite of what happens most times in real life. It seems I’m the last person anyone wants to look to for direction or what to do in a situation. Granted this could be to my own lack of self-confidence with a lot of life matters, or maybe simply the difference for me between games and real life.

Games are games, I can be outrageous or try something a little crazy and it will probably work, people will even listen to me with these things because hey, its a game. Not just doing crazy things however, even normal things seem to be easier. It could also be that people in games don’t tend to be bothered what they are doing as long as its for a purpose. Putting that into real life I guess it all seems so much more serious and more important to never screw up. If you do then apparently its all over. Make sure you achieve this and this and this in life! At least thats how I used to think. As I grow older, its almost as if I can view life on a lighter note.

I’ll still be very cautious regarding anything to do with bodily harm and the like, but if its not an important thing, who cares? Get it done in some manner that makes use of the resources you have, never mind being a little weird (I should probably add in “also as long as it doesn’t go against basic moral principles”, I’m kind of big on those:D) Anyway, more on my apparent leadership skills devoted only to games later.

Today was a fun day for watching anime. Watched two soul eater episodes, 4 Tower of Druaga episodes and one of an anime just subbed, Library War. I’m loving the animation quality and art style of soul eater, has to be one of the best I’ve seen for a while in an action series. Tower of Druaga is at times funny and cool at others but not really standout. Its a decent fantasy anime so I can live with that till another freaking awesome one like Claymore comes out. Library War was great too, often hilarious but I get the feeling that hilarity will soon be over shadowed by serious plot workings, which is fine since thats what I expected from it. I’ve managed to get Jo hooked on Full Metal Alchemist so we’re working our way through that as well. Probably be done by the end of next week, or before(depends on how much we watch tomorrow and monday arvo).

Finally, we managed to do our first 10 man raid into Kharazan in WoW. We had a great time. Took up most of Friday but we got through 3 bosses and attempted a few more. Myself, Kenny, Jo, Mark, Jo’s little bro Micah, Izaac and Elias from Dubbo, Kenny’s housemate and two other people we know online took on the undead and other foul beasties and kicked their butts! We got some cool loot from them as well. Both our healers got an upgrade and I picked up a cool crossbow to use when I want to be doing damage.

Who knows, I might do another post more concerned about me, maybe something approaching a life story with commentary? Sounds scary. People would know where I came from and have insight into me, my acts of trickery to make myself seem like a slow, silly, naive person will all come crumbling down.

Sounds like fun now that I think about it. Gotta stay one step ahead of them. No one will see it coming.
