Achievement Streak 5 : The Continuing

In an attempt to make WoW more fun for the average everyday casual Boat, I've decided to try for an achievement every day and ten achievements a week on my new Warlock, Boatorious. This is my week five log ...

A very late post, but I did survive last week, at least in the achievement streak sense. It's getting harder now and I'm having to rely on exploration achievements a lot more since there are only a handful of other achievements left that are easy to get. Exploration achievements are fairly easy to get but I like to avoid them at the moment, since (in most zones) they require me to do something I would not normally do.

I almost faltered last week one time. It was ten and I didn't have an achievement and I was falling asleep in my chair. I woke up enough to remember to get an achievement.

Funny that WoW is really the only game I play while I'm falling asleep. I'm not sure if it's because WoW is more boring than other games I play, or because I like WoW enough to keep playing even when I want to sleep. It's probably a bit of both.

I'd also like to point out that I am level 53, while my wife (who started leveling a week after me) is now 66.

* The armory cutoff for achievement-days is, I believe, somewhere between 8 and 10 PM, so it does not necessarily show me getting an achievement every day -- you'll just have to take my word for it :)
