After finishing up most of what I wanted to do in The War Within, I’ve been thinking about how I want to spend my time in WoW until Midnight drops. I spent a few days doing the Delve loop, but found myself getting pretty burnt out- this would not sustain me until March.

I figured that I’d easily be able to wrap up a standard playthrough in a chill seven days- this was a game I’d beat in a weekend as a teenager! Turns out my confidence was misplaced and using the term Hell Week was prescient, because after eight hours or so, I’ve only made it a little more than halfway through the dungeon, but what an eight hours it has been.
