2017/2018

Because the clock hasn't struck midnight in my part of the world (at the time of this posting), I want to wish all of you a Happy and Safe New Year!

Das zufällige Treffen

I opened a few more Skies of Albion Loot Boxes and went on a incidental plane spotting trip while taking out my recently acquired tier II premium Ar.67 German Fighter. However, I got more than this blurry picture from that adventure....

Showing the French Flag

It may be blue and bulbous, but it's the only French aircraft I have right now and it's fun!

Heavy Horse

In World of Warplanes, I have a "bane plane."

The relationship between myself and the tier VII premium American Heavy Fighter, Fisher XP-75, could be described as "rocky" at best. It's not that I don't want to love this aircraft, but it feels like a one way street romance. I want more flexibility, it wants to stay rigid. I want "grace in the air," it wants to be that "brick in the wind."

Not to say there aren't a few pleasant surprises....

Ein Zerstörer einer Belohnung

In this video, I collect on 10 Santa Gift Bags and take a tier IV Messerschmitt Bf 110 C-6 out for a demonstration flight, since it's one of the planes to be won in this little Contested Skies event I am hosting.

Boxing Day Blenheim

Opening all nine Loot Crates I have collected, thus far, from the Skies of Albion event and take the skies (again) in the tier IV Bristol Blenheim Mk.IV (early mod.).

The Grinched Game

Sadly for some and to the glee for others, World of Warplanes is having a technical issue on Christmas.

Today, players were greeted with frustration as they attempted to complete the 12th Day of Planesmas. No tier II F-11C has been awarded to any account, pilots aren't earning experience and credit collection from battles are absent (however, the game is deducting those for repairs and rearming aircraft).

I had planed on having a bit of a Christmas Special, flying a plane, collecting whatever I was going to get (had the reward plane for a very long time, so was curious to the compensation alternative) and open my small stash of loot boxes from the Skies of Albion event.

Instead, a video record of today's gaming errors....
