It’s been a super busy year for us on AWA so wanted to share some of the fun that we’ve been up to!

We’ve had community events with our friends over at Warframe, watching Fooya on twitch, and of course giving away a ton of FREE GAMES!!

Updated my office and gaming room finally! Needed to do some work on the ceiling so decided it was a good time for a complete overhaul.

You’re just driving up the price of your bath water with scarcity.

Been trying to get this mount in #Warcraft for yeeeeaaaaaars and finally after hundreds of runs (and over 20 this month alone) it’s finally mine!!

So who else has been spending the month farming mounts in #Warcraft but still hasn't gotten a drop? Just me? Cool cool cool cool coooool 😭

You can’t tell me what to do!

Finally back and in the groove after PAX East. Had a blast but was also super busy! It was great to meet so many awesome people though!

Spoiler free quick Minecraft Movie Review

Fun movie, lots of Minecraft references but definitely geared at the 7-12 year old Minecraft fan demographic. My kids absolutely loved it.

Doubt it will win any awards, but it doesn’t need too. Just a fun kids movie.

I don’t like to brag, but I am currently 1 #Pokemon away from completing the the entire Pokedex in Pokemon Home… 😳

Want to play your PC games on the couch? It might be easier than you think…

#pcgaming

A make a wish auction item to create a NPC in The Elder Scrolls VI with a closing cost of $85,450. Holy crap

Well that went for wayyyyyyy higher than I was expecting… 👀 #ElderScrolls

You should really try it! Especially if you have game pass!

An image of playtime hours of Avowed showing 12 hours and 38 minutes of playtime.

This may not look like a lot, but this is by far the most hours I have played any game over the course of a couple days in YEARS. Absolutely loving #Avowed and actually feeling drawn back in to play.

It's hard to find time to play with kids, work, and just life as you get older!

It’s… really big in there…

Since that asteroid has a 2% chance of hitting the earth, I thought it would be fun to look up other stuff with that same probability:

Godlike Features on characters from the game avowed

I only have 2 VERY SMALL criticisms of Avowed so far:

1. There needs to be way more Godlike feature options
2. I wish I could turn on the Godlike Features to display after character creation.

I didn’t realize how integrated they would be when I made my character and now wish I had left them on.

A Vista of a town in the game Avowed.

I am straight up obsessed with #Avowed already. It's the first game in awhile that I've felt the pull to keep playing every time I have to stop!

Avowed installing. Goodbye real world

scar from the lion king says " what have you done ? " ALT: scar from the lion king says " what have you done ? "

You might say…

OK Thinking about this way more than I should cuz why not lol.

❤️ Hit Points = Storage (SSD or HDD)
🗡️ Attack Damage = CPU
🪄 Magic Damage = GPU
🧠 Intelligence (Maybe Wisdom?) = RAM
💪 Strength = Case & Cooling
🥰 Charisma = Display / Monitor

Thoughts? What am I wrong on or missing here?

And yes, processor speed is attack power (CPU is physical damage and GPU is magic damage obviously).

Does anyone else think about storage in their PC like it’s HP in a video game?

No? Just me?
Cool…

Maybe I’ll do one tonight

A Dell 4K webcam and a Canon R8 with an HDMI cable plugged in

Maybe upgrading the camera gear will be just the boost I needed to get back on the streaming wagon…

Testing out #Skylight with a little comparison between the #Alienware Aurora and Area-51…
