We’ve resubscribed to WoW for the moment and are happily levelling our low 50s shaman and warrior (we’ve played this duo on and off for the past month or so).  Managed to get about halfway through 52, won an AV and got our weapons from the primary AV quest, and dinked around in the Western Plaguelands and Felwood for a bit.  The arms warrior / enhancement shaman duo is a pretty potent team; between knocking out quests left and right, we managed to take on 3 alliance of similar or higher levels and won.

I played through my first game of Sins of a Solar Empire this weekend and had a good time.  Sally looked on for a bit and was vaguely interested so we may try a game of that together at some point - we’re not quite convinced that we want to buy 2 copies of the game just yet, so we’re hoping for a demo sometime soon (which all signs point to).  It may also be possible to get a copy on her machine that works in single player or LAN mode, so we may try that at some point as well.  The game’s got potential as a cooperative platform, it remains to be seen if that’s actually fun or compelling though.

Aside from that, I played around with various demos and games that my machine hasn’t been able to play (another <3 to Sally for getting me the new 8800 GT ) - Company of Heroes demo, Crysis demo, and a few others.  A buddy brought Overlord over and we saw a co-op game style in there, so we may try that out at some point as well.

With all that said, we’re still having a slightly hard time getting interested in the same stuff.  WoW is a common interest in that we both enjoy it a certain amount.  We’ve leveled before (we each have two 70s) and don’t really have any long term goals for these characters.  Sally wants to try out tanking and I’d like to actually play a DPS role for once, but there are no aspirations for arenas or raiding, at least at this point.  The time for endgame activities isn’t something we’re willing to commit right now.   It’s also the game that runs best on our current hardware - my machine is better suited for newer games (the LotRO trial runs pretty well with my new card) but Sally’s isn’t quite beefy enough to handle LotRO.  We had the same problem with Tabula Rasa a couple months back when we tried that out.  Badly performing games are just not that fun to play or look at.   Hopefully the hardware issues will be sorted out soon - we have a new MacBook Pro budgeted in Sally’s future as soon as Apple gets around to bumping the current models with upgraded processors and possibly video cards as well.
