I played up to the sixth soviet mission. This was a lengthy and annoying one. After about an hour of play I finally completed it, but then the game crashed. Off course, it didn’t save, so I tried it again. After another 40 minutes (this time I was prepared), it crashed again. To hell with it! It’s not that good of a game. I really don’t think I will be playing it again. I can always watch the cheesy campaign movies outside the game.

I got my reputation with Argent Dawn to Exalted, while Timbermaw Hold and Cenarion Circle revere me. I’ve also been raising my reputation to honored with various factions so I can finally complete an armor set. I still need one item of the set, so I’m planning to accomplish this in the next few days. I’ve also been completing some various dungeons, but nothing major.

Since I’m at my max level, I’ve spent most of my time earning money (unsuccessfully), clearing dungeons, doing raids, and raising my reputation with various factions. I got my Argent Dawn reputation half way to exalted. I plan to raise it the rest of the way in the next few days. After that, I think I’ll try my luck with Timbermaw Hold. I’m also trying to get a set equipment pieces everywhere I can. Oh, I forgot to mention, I finally have my flying mount! Since it’s a normal flying mount, it’s quite slow, but at least I can get everywhere in outland now.

I finally reached level 70 tonight. This means the training is over for me until I get Wrath of the Lich King. I completed a few dungeons and tried raising my reputation at the various factions. Tonight, I fought Onyxia with my guild again, and again didn’t get anything. I plan to earn money for my flying mount next, but I need to raise my reputation some more first.

I got to Eterna City and realized that the gym leader is a grass specialist. I managed to catch Ponyta on a route out of town, but it didn’t have any fire attacks. I tried training it by fighting the gym leader’s lackey, but even though it gained a few levels, it still didn’t get any. I saved my game before fighting the gym leader and stopped playing there.

A friend came over yesterday, so we played the game taking turns at the races. We’ve reached about 55% of completion. I also finished a single bike race, so the bike mode is now at 2%. While playing, we unlocked a bunch of cars including the one from the beginning of the game that I couldn’t find the burnout track of.

Larthas has reached level 68. He tried to train his blacksmithing skill, so he spent a bunch of time mining for thorium. He plans to get it to at least 300, so he can continue to train it in Outland. Today, he cleared the east and the north wing of Dire Maul fortress. He wanted the clear the west wing to, but his party disbanded because of other obligations. He will try to clear it tomorrow. Also, his seals now last for 30 minutes!
