Ditto’s Video Bloggy Thingy for May 19th

Hello, it is the Ditto with another Video Bloggy Thingy!  It has been a while – Ditto has been very busy with lots of stuff, sorry about that.  But here me is now, so on to the twitter report!
This morning Ditto has an amazing 1899 followers!  Wow!  Me is still planning on doing something cool and special when I hit 2000…  Wait and see!
So the games – well, like Ditto said, he has been very busy lately, so me haven’t played as much as I’d like.  In Piate101 I’m still in Cool ranch, though I made a couple nautical levels lately!  In Pirate101 Ditto is nearly done with Avalon, so that is pretty exciting!  Hopefully me will be done pretty soon.
Ditto hasn’t even been playing Hearthstone much – that is a fun game with exciting, quick-to-play matches – I like jumping in with my mage or my rogue every now and then, but not so uch lately.
One thing I have been doing is enjoying myself outside – the weather has been perfect lately!  I’ve been out riding my bike, and playing with Chip on the swingset, and even helping greenly in his garden – that’s a lot of fun, and we’ve got lots of plants coming up!  Ditto wil have to make a video of that soon!  It’s just like Wizard101 Gardening.  Ok, not really – but it’s still fun.
So that’s it for today, have lots of fun in the spiral, but make sure you unplug once in a while and enoy the beautiful weather!  If the weather is nice where you are, of course…
Have fun and play safe  PLOX

Captain Ditto delivers hornet stingers to Doctor Coop

Ditto has collected the wasp stingers and delivers them to Doctor Coop, who… takes them and says thank you.  So, the video has Ditto going through his character and talking about the game too, just kind of chatting about stuff…

 

An interesting note to this quest – ‘Doctor Coop’ is probably a reference to a former US Surgeon General C Everett Koop, who I actually met once, a long time ago…  I always loved his beard.  It takes a special kind of guy to sport a beard like that.

Ditto gets a postcard from Afghanistan!

A few months ago, Ditto held a contest and asked people to send letters to the troops with Operation Gratitude.  Well, Ditto got a wonderful postcard all the way from Afghanistan today!  A soldier, SPC Young from the 489th Eng. Battalion in Afghanistan, sent Ditto a wonderful postcard that has ‘The Faces of Afghanistan’, wonderful pictures of kids from all over Afghanistan.  The postcard says that Children in Afghanistan wear colorful clothes as many of them prepare for their first experience going to school!

Captain Ditto is hunting hornet stingers in Pirate101

Captain Ditto and Crew need to hunt down hornet stingers for a potion, and of COURSE, the hornets are huge and terrifying… Ditto and crew face down a swarm of giant wasps – I’ll admit, it kind of freaks me out a bit.

Of course Ditto was glad that giant hornets like this couldn’t possibly exist… Until Miss Narrator pointed out the Giant Chinese Hornet. It’s ok… Ditto did not need to sleep ever again.

Ditto versus Maudit Soulban – Part 2

Like I said – this was a really long fight, but it was great! I could have hired more henchmen to make it go quicker, but I knew with the life henchman I was in OK shape, and I wanted to take him out on my own.  Of course, the life henchman got the final shot in, but that’s OK… this was quite a battle!

After I finally defeated the dreaded fire giant, I got the fire armor and headed back to the night of the flame and continued my quest…
