So I’ve started last weekend on the new Pandaria zones (85+) and so far it’s been great. I’ll even echo quite a few bloggers here and say that Pandaria is probably the best expansion content we’ve had in WoW… and that despite all the apprehension I had about a whole expansion based off a silly Warcraft 3 easter egg. Well once again, Blizzard proved to me that they do indeed have an idea of how to design a game. If anything, Pandaria WoW feels mature… like Blizzard is mostly done with weird experimentation and knows what it wants in its game and how to do it. It does make me excited for the Titan mmo.
But really, the highpoint of the weekend were the Hozen, crazy monkeys found of Pandaria and of which I am now the king! Any game that allows me to become the king of a bunch of poop slinging monkeys is clearly doing it right!
I’ll give some more thoughts later about the other features of the expansion as I get to them (cooking is insane?!) but so far it’s been a great ride.
For some reason I find a smile on my face knowing that you’re playing in Pandaland! I’m really enjoying it. Though, to be honest I mostly find myself farming in Halfhill and putting lots of time into Battle Pets.
For a guy who’s never played Farmville or Pokemon; I’m really enjoying the WoW versions.

Oh the cooking! Insane barely begins to describe it. I finally got Master of the Ways over the US Thanksgiving holiday (raising each of the individual Pandaria cooking skills up to 600, which required tons of farming for ingredients) so now I’m about mid-way through saving up the 50 Ironpaw Tokens needed to purchase the student Bell item so that I can begin training my own cooking apprentice. It’s a very good thing that I’m not raiding at all outside of forays into LFR because all of my reputation and daily efforts thus far have been focused on farming and cooking. 🙂
So.. why are you not derping with us yet?
