I&#8217;ve been sitting on the fence about whether the game is worth it these days, and you are pushing me pretty convincingly over to the &#8220;no, it&#8217;s not&#8221; side.

I think I got a piece of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thottbott.com\/?i=3200\">Aquamarine<\/a> and a couple gold coins worth of cash for the 3.5 hours we played. When we got to the boss at the end, I managed to snap a heal off and save Axe just before he died, but I took so much damage while delivering the heal that I went to that great cathedral in the sky immediately (and I mean <em>immediately<\/em>, the saving heal almost didn&#8217;t finish) thereafter. Because you can&#8217;t take it with you, I missed out on the boss loot, from which there was a pair of boots I definitely could have used. It was fun regardless, and there&#8217;s always next time. Tierney did try to resurrect me for the third time with Jumper Cables, but like the previous two attempts it failed. 0 for 3 &#8211; apparently using goblin jumper cables is about as successful as the Leaf&#8217;s power play.<\/p>\n<p>I did get the pic of the five of us after we trapped the guard, though. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3845 It seems that this is what you get from Blizzard for your $15\/US per month more often than not these days.
