9:00pm - Hanging out with the Kalu'ak, after I figured out I wasn't going to be completing a group 3 quest by myself lol. So for now, the walrus people it is.
10:00pm - I had to train because I forgot to when I hit 74. Still just trucking along about halfway to 75. I am hoping to at least hit 78 before it is all over.
11:00pm - Time is just flying by! I am going through a few quests I missed. Hopefully moving on from BT soon.
12:00am - 8 hours left! I am at 142/150 quests in Borean Tundra and about 3 and a half bars from being level 75! It is going to start getting very interesting lol. Lets see what happens the real fatigue starts to set in.
1:00am - Hallows End has started in WoW. I just got my first handful of candy :D DING 75! Finished Borean Tundra and have already started Dragonblight.
2:00am Well Dark had to call it for the night but she will make up her time later. She lasted longer the either of us thought she would. I had a quick shower and now I am back and ready to blast through Dragonblight as fast as I can!
3:00am Well I broke out the Rockstar energy drinks! Very Very Tired! I am pushing forward through Dragonblight as best I can. I will finish this! LOL
4:00am Taking a moment to look at my gear and the gear that I can make for myself at this level. Just a few more ours to go! Even though I won't make it to 80 I am very happy to see my warrior leveling up. This toon has sat for a long time.
5:00am The rockstar helped and I am crafting some gear. I have been sending a lot of stuff to my bank toon so I had to go and send some back to make the gear. I still hope to hit 76 before this is over so wish me luck lol.
6:00am - 2 more hours!! OMG I am ready for it. These last couple of hours are going to be brutal. I am already starting to get heavy heavy eyelids and making mistakes in game like running into mobs that I know are there, passing up mobs and places I need to go etc..
7:00am - Last Hour!!! I am going to spend this last hour cleaning up bags and bank. I have lots of loot to go through, so I am done questing. I am sitting at level 75 1/2. Not a bad run. 3 levels and lots of gold and loot!
8:00am - I just want to say thank you to everyone who donated for this event. I had personal reasons for participating in this event and I hope what money I was able to raise, will help Texas Children's Hospital in some way. They saved the lives of more then one child in my family and this is my way of giving back. Also I would like to mention that the fundraising page will be up until October 31st. If you didn't get to donate before tonight you can still do so before that date. Thank you again.

Extra Life 2009: The First 12 hours!
8:00 am - We are in game and starting out leveling our 72 horde toons in Howling Fjord. Breakfast has been eaten and the coffee is a brewing.
9:00 am - OK, so off to a slow start. Dark is catching up on the quest chain that I am on. We are doing quests at Scalawag Point trying to finish off the quest achievement in Howling Fjord. We are both level 72 and shooting for 80.
10:00am - Things are moving along now we completed the last of the 105 quests needed for I've toured the Fjord we are moving into boron tundra for a little while, but not sure yet if we are going to finish it before moving on to Dragonblight.
11:00 am - We are tearing up the starting Warsong Hold quests in Borean Tundra. Just accidentally fell off a ramp and picked up the Going Down achievement. Gathering a lot of cobalt along the way and have even picked a piece of armor or two as well from the quests.
12:00pm - Now about 35 quests into Borean Tundra, 5 of which I still need to turn in. Less then one bar till 73, then I will make myself two Honed Cobalt Cleavers to dual wield =) and I may have some other gear in the bank to wear. Dark is not much for leveling these areas so she is on one of her lower level toons. Later we will do some more leveling in Dragonblight together.
1:00pm - Now have my new weapons and am moving on to other parts of Borean Tundra currently Amber Ledge. Dark and I are about to head to Dragon Blight so we will see how the leveling goes through the quests there and then if she needs a break and to go back to her level toon, I will come back to Borean Tundra.
2:00pm - Dark decided to play her low level more, so i am still trekking through the Borean Tundra. Currently at 51/150 quests out here after 150 I will be moving to Dragonblight.
3:00pm - LEVEL LEVEL LEVEL still not 74, but i am half way. Just cruising along through BT questing. Took a short break for food and other necessities and now back at it. Having lots of fun. If your reading please leave an comments, or questions in the comments section of this post or at bigkidsatplay@gmail.com
4:00pm - Well 8 hours down and still kicking, not a lot going on just questing still lol. I have over 300g so far not sure of an exact number but it is nice
5:00 pm - Woot!! Pizza is on its way and i will be take a short break for food, but more then likely I will be in front of the computer while eating. Up to 80/150 quests in BT can't wait for Dragonblight! Dark is still on her mage she is leveling and is almost 25. It is going to be wild time and it is just getting started :D
6:00pm - Well this is my first time through Northrend on the Horde side and I have to say that they have some interesting quests. I am almost 74 now and still trucking along. The realization that it is almost 7pm and there are still over 13 hours left in this event is finally setting in lol. I am going to be zombie by the time this thing is through.
7:00pm - DING! 74 and I am up to 95 of 150 in BT and I just got through killing some robots. Killing robots is very annoying especially when they continually say things like "Intruder ALert! Intruder ALert!"
8:00pm - 12 more hours to go and I as I get closer to moving out of this area I feel almost a second wind pushing me forward, but also unless I get moving I am not sure I will hit my goal of being level 80 before the event is over. That doesn't mean I have given up it just means I see how long the last 2 levels have taken me and if it continues that way I will likely hit 77 instead of 80. I am going to start a second post for the next 12 hours. See you there!

Free Realms: Soccer Star!
The sun is shining brightly as I take a deep breath and smile at the glorious smell of fresh cut grass. Stepping onto the field, I see a crowd gathering. They came to see the game, they came to see the action, and they came to see me. I am a soccer star!
Well at least I am in Free Realms. On October 2nd, SOE introduced the new soccer mini game and the new soccer star job in an update to their casual MMO. This job makes number 16 and adds a whole new type of gameplay to a game that already offers so much to its players.
I logged in on Friday night to level my brawler and after a few quests I noticed the load screen was announcing the soccer release. Curiosity got the best of me; I opened up the map and teleported to the Snowhill soccer field to give it a try. I looked around the field until I spotted the familiar quest marker over the head of a man in a suit named Manager Landon. He handed me a few jerseys and asked me to take them to some players on a hill not far from the field. I passed out the jerseys to the guys and they made me a part of the team. I headed back to the field and played my first game of soccer and immediately I was hooked.
I found myself playing through countless games and completing quests before realizing it was late and that I was already level 14! I had really only hit one speed bump and that was the quest where you have to make 15 steals in one game and win the game. I understand that I am not the only one who has had trouble with this quest, but I finally finished it after many tries then headed to bed.
Saturday evening I laced up the cleats and headed back to the field and spent a few more hours doing quests and playing more games of soccer then I can count. The one thing I didn’t get to do was play a game as a group and I am really looking forward to that as well. I am now level 18 and hope to hit 20 when I get a little extra time to play.
Overall I think soccer will be a very popular job in Free Realms and even those who are not that into sports will enjoy it. It will definitely keep players coming back for more of the world we love to play in.
