The second Playlist mixtape I ever made on this blog was one dedicated to gaming. To me it's sort of unique (although, these artists are actually more popular than the one's in most of my other mixtapes...) because I don't listen to this genre of music very often. Like, I am actually not a big fan of Dubstep or Drum&Bass. I'm very selective about certain songs and it's easy for Dubstep to overwhelm me very quickly. With that said, gaming puts me in certain 'mood', where this genre of music gets me amped up. So I wanted to make a playlist with this type of music that suits my taste, and that's kind of what I accomplished the first time. Albeit, most of these tracks aren't really new (except maybe the Madeon one) but they are still my tried and true favs. If you're not a huge fan of Dubstep but are looking for a pumped up soundtrack for your fast-paced games, give this one a shot.

On a design note, I was going to go the usual route I've been going lately, which is simplistic, minimal covers for these playlists. However, I kinda wanted to just go a little crazy. I mean yeah, my aesthetics lean more towards the minimal / clean look, but since these are for my music posts, I've been thinking about going a little more 'out there' and fun. I mean, why not right? I feel like simplistic design is beautiful, elegant and very trendy right now, but sometimes you just gotta have a little fun, and that's kind of the direction I went here.

Day 44: Aion: The MMO for vain people

What's this??? A non photographic photo of the day???? Is it possible?? I just did it.....so yeah.......it is possible.

I've been playing a video game lately called Aion. It's free to play so I thought, why not. Before this I was only playing one game and that was LoL. And as much as I love LoL, I really wanted a break and try a game that is more dynamic than just fighting against other people. Since Aion is like an RPG (role playing game) the world of course is much more dynamic. I've actually never played this style of game before, so I felt incredibly lost when I started. In fact, even now, I'm pretty lost! I'm trying to find groups of people to play with because it's also getting a bit difficult. I'm sorry if you have no knowledge of video games and this isn't a post you'd understand and/or care about, but at least enjoy the fine handiwork of my cool looking character. :)

I spent hours just trying to customize my character's armor. It takes a lot of in game currency and a lot of time to find the right set of armor, but in the end, I'm super happy with how it looks. The most expensive part of customizing is definitely getting dyes. Dyes are super rare to come by and can only be made or bought through the player's market (Trade Broker). I may be completely broke right now (in game) but I think it was totally worth it. I think it's part of Aion's charm to be able to customize your character so much. To me, that's the most fun part of a game!

It's funny because most people wait until a much higher level before they start blowing money on customizing. I'm only level 20 and the highest I believe is lvl 60! But I don't wait around. I like looking at how cool my character looks and I honestly think I'll be happy with this look for a little bit. But just in case I get tired of it, I also invested in another set LOL. So I can switch around. Gotta keep it interesting!
