So I’m feeling much better, I’m back in game and just defeated Smogger, using a henchman for the very first time. I’ve got a whole new video about that which I should be posting tomorrow (Needs a little editing) but for now here is my weekly video bloggy thingy, almost completely cough and sneeze free. I talk about Wizard 101, LOTRO, Twitter, and what it’s like having a cold as a furry orange monster…

Curse you, cold and flu season!!
So there will be no video post today – sadly, your friendly neighborhood furry orange monster has a MONSTER of a head/chest cold, and can’t get through more than half a duel without breaking out into a fit of coughs and sneezes. Thanks to a coffee mug full of cold medicine and careful editing, this weeks ‘Daring Adventures’ is all set for tonight’s Ravenwood Radio broadcast, but a video full of hacking and sneezing is really not the kind of entertainment I prefer to publish, so I’m just doing a regular old blog post today, saying hi and stuff…
Of course a head cold for a Fabricated American is probably a bit worse than a ‘typical’ head cold – I mean, I don’t even have a nose, so sneezing is kind of an ordeal in itself, I’m sure you understand!
So I DO have a plan for getting through Clock Tower East and Clock Tower West, and I’m also going to go back into Kat’z lab and try to take on Smogger, because I heard it’s an intense fight and you get a cool badge/title, I’m all for that. Once that’s done (soonish) then I’m going to try to plan hooking up with a few others (Ravenwood Radio gang?) and getting through Big Ben, all while taking video that I can then edit into something cool.
So that’s it for me today – I’m going to snuggle up with some hot cocoa and hit the bazaar to see if I can get any new gear before I attempt Smogger – I’m hoping for a wand of ‘1000 points damage for one pip’ but I haven’t found that one yet. I’ll keep hoping…
See you in the {sneeze} spiral!!
PLOX!!
Ditto’s Current Games
Not a lot of movement on the current games this week – I finally got back into Wizard 101 and finished Katzensteins’ Lab, which was pretty awesome. I did find out that there is apparently a side-quest in there that you can finish as well, to defeat some elite side-boss called Smogger or something like that. I think I’m going to try for that – wish I knew about it before I exited the dungeon, because I think the pre-fight bosses were actually more challenging than Katz…
Ditto and Madame Jasmine, preparing for the first Clocktower
so now I’m ready to start the big Marleybone Finale – I started reading up on it and got great tips and pointers from readers, thank you SO MUCH for that! I ‘think’ I’m going to try to do each clocktower solo, then get a few friends together for Big Ben. Big Ben seems insane to try alone (though I did pull off Sunken City solo) – we’ll see what I can put together.
LOTRO
I did jump back into LOTRO again for a while, as well – I just love the look of this game, the epic feel of it. It’s a little overwhelming sometimes, it feels like there are a thousand different things you can be doing, where I’m used to the much more guided Wizard 101 quest lines. It’s still awesome, though, and I do still geek out when I see something I recognize from the books, like the dock for Buckleberry Ferry.
Right now I’m just questing and looking for crafting supplies to sell at auction, which is certainly a lot more involved than the Bazaar on wizard 101. It’s fun, though, and I’ve gotten some good gear for great prices just be being in the right place at the right time, so to speak.

Backyard Monsters
Backyard Monsters had a huge update this week, including a new level of Town hall which I’m currently in the process of building – it takes SIX DAYS! I also upgraded my catapult another level (I can now fling goo at my enemies – LOL) and unlocked the new ‘worm’ monster they just added, who has some underground burrow attack I havent’ tried yet. Sounds interesting but worrisome, as if it works the way I think it works, it will be VERY hard to defend against, especially since they didn’t seem to add anything that would defend against subterranean attack yet…
Other Games
this week was pretty much all focused on Wizard 101 to be honest, with a little LOTRO and my daily Backyard Monsters fix. I’ll try to find a new ‘Game of the Week’ for next week, because that is a lot of fun.
I’ll try to find a new and exciting game for my ‘Game of the Week’ next week.
Daring Adventures of Ditto, Episode 13!
Here it is, as originally heard on Ravenwood Radio Episode 28 – The Daring Adventures of Ditto Episode 13, where Ditto and Madame Jasmine face the unthinkable – Marleybone Zombie Apocalypse!! At least they THINK that’s what it is…
Ditto’s Weekly Video bloggy Thingy… I’m back!
OK so I’ve been kind of out of it for the last week trying to do this insane ‘NaNoWriMo’ thingy. I’m still doing it, but not as obsessively, as I much prefer blogging and playing games and taking video. so starting now, I’m going to be back to my usual stuff, including posting Episode 13 of ‘The Daring Adventures of Ditto’ either today or tomorrow. Until then, here is my weekly video bloggy thingy!
PLOX!
