I don’t even know what to do when servers are up atm…
… I’ve gotten to the point where it all feels “meh”.
I’ve tried other games, but I still want to play WoW, I just… don’t know what…
Spending my day at work. Gone are the days where I’d take time off for patch days. Been burned too many times
Trying to run some errands including getting my hair cut, because it’s getting real bad up there.
Then sleeping before work tonight. And watching the impending dumpster fire the forums will be in between.
Starting Thursday I get 6 days off in a row so I’m stoked for that.

Go to work, watch YouTube, play other video games and watch the episodes of Star Trek: TNG.
Haha my version of “retro gaming” is a bit older than that, but it’s always great to see a fellow classic gaming fan.

Mow the lawn, play with my dogs, and continue reading The Lord of The Rings.

Enjoy it and savor it. Have tea and very thin toast. Maybe with honey or cinnamon and sugar. Make some stew for dinner.
I read those again every 5 or 10 years.

I don’t mean to sound ugly, but here goes:
-
Whatever it is the masses of people who are unemployed, or work from home, or just rich, will jump into this new content, patch whatever it is, and no life it within a matter of hours.
-
By the time I join, if I’m able to, at 9 o’clock tonight whatever it is…will be long over.

I can’t blame blizzard but I’m always upset by the fact that they’re on Pacific time and I’m eastern so I have to wait regardless a lot later than everyone else. Which means that if they release something in the early afternoon it’s actually my dinner time.

I’ve just resigned to the fact that these new content releases are ephemeral. It’s like artificial scarcity black Friday sale. Millions of Warcraft players are lined up at the door, waiting for whatever it is and by the time I get there, the shelves will be completely wiped out and the only thing left will be the generic waffle maker.
Yes, I was there in 1994 one hour before the store closed on Christmas Eve and that was the only thing that was left on all the shelves at the mall. My whole family got waffle makers for Christmas. That’s how it feels like with me and Warcraft.
I’d rather have a patch or a new content thing drop completely unexpected at 9 PM Eastern. Something downloaded, but not able to be data mined. No one will know when it happens. There’s no countdown timer or a clock or even a pop-up screen saying hey, go to this NPC!
We’re just all chilling, doing our stuff, and then some flying spaceships start landing and pirates start jumping out attacking everybody. Mass chaos ensues like when The Alliance attack Orgrimmar on occasion

Typical Tuesday I’ll see you guys later this evening, after all the excitement has already passed. At best, I can maybe watch a twitch streamer, but work being work doesn’t give me the chance.

I’ll be doing the same. Tore the cartilage up in my knee. 6+ weeks of recovery.

Well, I’ll be at work until 3 eastern so there’s that. I suppose I’ll manage with something else until then, though I do hope it doesn’t run over too much because I’d like to get a few Dr. Boom kills in as I still don’t have the mount, and I’d like to get that done as well as peek at whatever all the secrecy has been about.
Work like most people do on a Tuesday.
Streaming for a good while, hopefully discussing what possibilities the event could bring.
Probably seething on the forums and twitch with everyone else.
My job

This just means your time with the game is precious, and each minute may be worth more to you than to those that can play a ton and/or just burn through the content in no time. So, when you get a chance to try the new patch, sit back, enjoy yourself, and savor those sweet, sweet waffles 
from your still-working, aged waffle iron while everyone that rushed through the patch throws out their now passé game-equivalent of pogo balls, jelly shoes, and beanie babies.

Sometimes it feels like a slap in the face when you go from a “few” years ago thinking the arcade and Atari VCS/2600 and then NES games you grew up on were the limit of retro to realizing that it’s been over 25 years since the Dreamcast launched in Japan and nearly that many for the PS2…Who’s that gray-haired old person staring back in the mirror?
