Good Farming Areas in GW2 for Ingredients

I know it can be a bit rough finding good places to farm ingredients for cooking. I have been all over in search of good spots. Sadly I have only found a few so far and the majority of items are just found around. Though each is in the same spot and runs on a 23 hours timer, just for you! So here are a few places with good farming

This is what I have so far, I will add more as I find them!

Lettuce Farms-
  • Queensdale- South of Beetletun [8]
  • Caledon Forest- The Rowan Woods
Potatoe Farms-
  • Plains of Ashford- South of Loreclaw Waypoint [8]
  • Wayfarer Foothills- North of Osenfold Waypoint- Beware of Jotun guarding the Area [7]
  • Metrica Province- Akk Wilds on floating island [8]
Strawberry Farms-
  • Kessex Hills- Isgarren's View [8]
  • Snowden Drifts- Near Griffon Fall [8]
  • Plains of Ashford- Town of Nolan
Spinach Farms-
  • Gendarran Fields- Provernic Crypt

4 days to GW2

I am very excited about GW2! Even more excited because I pre-purchased the collectors edition and get a 3 day headstart! After much thought and the poll that I put up on my facebook page [ http://www.facebook.com/LoveBiscuit ], I have decided to roll a Sylvari Elementalist as Love Biscuit. She will be the character I play first and post on my YouTube channel [ http://www.youtube.com/xxxlovebiscuitxxx ].

I hope that many of you will embark with me on my adventure with Love Biscuit, the Sylvari Elementalist. :)

Couch Co-op

Recently I made a video on Couch Co-op, you can see that here:



I really find Couch Co-op to be a good way to brings friends together and families as well. Its a nice thing to feel like you played the game together and were actually in the same room. I was reading the most recent Game Informer and I was reading an article and it basically said that Couch Co-op is hardly being done because developers feel it is not used enough.

I would like to know how they know this... do they sit in my living room and watch what I play? Know how often I play it? Do they do that to everyone BUT me? That is doubtful. It does require different coding to make sure everything runs smooth on both split screens, but it is worth it.

Look at what the Kinect games are doing lately? It is all about spending time with your family and friends playing games together. Many of them are 2 player games and you do the objectives TOGETHER. I find that to be an amazing way to bring gaming into a family dynamic.

One game I really recommend checking out is Little Big Planet. I find that it really gets families connected. You can sign in on your own account and play your own sack person, instead of playing the generic one UNLESS it is YOUR account. This really makes people want to play. I can play on my own and then when I decide to play with friends or family I can get on their account or they can get on mine, but still play as their sack person with their account.

Bringing families and friends together without them having to network their computers and play in seperate rooms... OR in the same room but on a different system, on a different tv. I think it brings a different feeling being in the same room as someone and playing the same game. I do not see why it is shunned... granted Split-Screen can be kinda troublesome on a smaller tv.

There really are not a ton of games that allow 2 player co-op, and I would love to see more of it. One thing I want to see more then anything.... is being able to sign into my own account and play multi-player split screen in a CoD game. Why has that not been done? If I am at a friends house and want to play with them, I either have to sign into my own account and they have to split as my double... or the other way around. I dislike that, and really wish they would change it. Think of the amount of people that would love that! Siblings can play together, spouses, and friends... WITHOUT being forced to be a (2).

I think we need more Couch Co-op in our lives!

Talks YouTube Channel

When I started my YouTube Channel- http://www.youtube.com/XxXLoveBiscuitXxX I had intentions on doing commentary while playing CoD. I soon realized how AWFUL I was at MW3 so quickly started to branch out. I enjoy yammering on while I play video games, that was until I started playing Diablo 3.

The dungeons were long and took me forever to get through and I would run out of things to talk about. So I started cutting them up for just the good bits. I hate doing that, but for now... it is what it is. I am looking for other ideas on what to do with videos and am hoping to grow in what I do with my channel.

I hope in time I can grow my channel and get more confident with what I do. I love doing this, and for now it is a fun hobby I want to enjoy for a long time. :)

Please feel free to leave me ideas or thoughts on changes on my channel. I would love to hear from you.

Guild Wars 2 is COMING!

It has been a while since my last Blog entry. I have just been busy catching up on my videos for the second Beta weekend that I completely slacked on and life in general that I have not kept up to date on my blog.

So August 28th we will be getting Guild Wars 2! Those of you who pre-purchased will get a 3 day headstarts! [Meaning me too! ;)] I am so very excited about it. I will be picking one class and race and making a character for my YT channel. I was debating giving my subs the chance to help me decide which race and which class. Thought it might be fun, since it is likely I will only have time for one character for my channel for a while. What do y'all think? Might put a poll up on my facebook page.

I find out new things all the time about the classes and just the way GW2 is set up. There is one final Beta weekend on July 20-22 which I plan to take full advantage of! They are also giving us the chance to try out Sylvari and Asura! Who could ask for anything better?

I will be doing 2 short playthroughs for the Beta event similar to what I did on the second beta weekend. I will be doing it differently so I can voice it while playing, and that means you guys will get the vids THE day I play it. Instead of when I have time to voice and edit. :)

I would share if I was not so embarassed... the fact I have been jumping up and down since they announced the release date! I already have my bells on and I am ready to play! ;) Thankfully the last beta weekend will tide me over.

I am ready to learn!

ME3 Extended Cut- My Thoughts

Some of you who follow me, know I have been very vocal about the ending of ME3. I thought that the story as a whole was amazing and loved every minute... until the credits rolled, for what I thought was to soon. Perhaps because I did not want Shepard's story to ever end, but honestly there were many things lacking for me. So many questions that should have been answered and no closure to the story that BioWare had promised us.

The main questions I wanted answered were-

Why was Joker and the Normandy off in BFE?- ANSWERED
Why were the squadmates who were with me on the final push, on the Normandy? ANSWERED
Where is my closure? -ANSWERED... good enough lol

The closure bit was good enough for me, I got to see who actually lived and died and some of the things that happened due to my decisions.

I thought that the added dialog from the AI at the end was weird and I did not really need it, but I suppose some people did and that is why it was there.

The prologue I got was by Anderson, but I hear it all depends on your ending. I look forward to finding them all out in due time... the Extended Cut makes me WANT to play ME3 again so I mist say:

THANK YOU BIOWARE, for listening to the fans and fixing what was obviously flawed! :)

DLC and WTH Walking Dead!

Today is jammed pack of things to do! DLC for ME3 hit... the one I have been waiting for! Though the only thing I wanted answered, I can not find. *sigh* Anyone know if you have to build your EMS rating up again or if the save is with your previous EMS? I guess I will play some Multi-Player just incase.

Though not just the ME3 Extended Cut DLC... but we are getting Dawnguard for Skyrim! Many more hours of entertainment to be had there! Not sure if I will get it tonight, but I will get it soon! :)

Now add the excitement of ME3 & Skyrim DLC and add in that SWTOR dropped their Allies patch today! YAY! I am not looking forward to the level cap being higher, because I have 3 characters around 20-30 range. I should just pick one and go. lol

So I thought all of that dropped today, wouldn't it be cool if The Walking Dead game finally decided to come out? I mean... it is the end of June and it was supposed to be here last month! lol Though I still see no Release date in sight... they have less then a week till the "End of June" is gone. At this rate I may lose all my want to play it if I have to wait 3 months in between episodes. Wasn't it supposed to be on a monthly basis? I get that it takes time for programing, design, and writing... so please do not think me an "Entitled Gamer" I just think they say they are going to do something, and they should do it!

So I hope you all are having fun with the day full of DLC and patches! :)
