This Time, It's Personal

So, after taking two characters to ten and then losing them, I'm having a hard time getting really attached to my new real character. I know, let's write a blog about that instead of playing him.

I can start to see how that would be an issue.

Anyway, so let's just talk about some random stuff since I've already blown like 20 minutes dawdling and I want to actually play tonight.

Operation Flowerbuy that I mentioned yesterday was successful beyond my wildest dreams. My wife was surprised by the flowers but this time she did actually remember the other times I got her flowers. We figured out the other three times were 1. WoW Launch, 2. TBC Launch, and 3. Hellgate Launch.

I only played Hellgate for about three weeks after launch. My wife noted, "I didn't really earn the Hellgate flowers."

I got the flowers at the grocery store because nothing else was open. That's why the grocery store is awesome. But it isn't the greatest store -- the greatest store is Target. I'm not sure if you have a Target near you, but if you don't you should. My happiest retail experience ever was the day I walked out of Target with Dawn of War : Winter Assault (on launch day) in one hand, and a gallon of skim milk in the other. Videogames and skim milk are without a doubt my most prized material posessions and a store that sells both is possibly too awesome.

Interesting piece of news if you haven't seen it -- and I haven't looked at any other blogs today so sorry if everyone has linked this already -- Tobold is going to use his Free US Account to play with Casualties! Yaaay!

One thing I keep thinking about Casualties -- I mean we are a bunch of intelligent, fun-loving casual players who are going to have fun no matter what we do. You're probably thinking what I'm thinking -- we're going to need a hell of a lot of angry, jobless ringers to become a great guild.

Recruitment is closed right now, so if you are an angry, jobless ringer, tell the guild officers that you are my dad and they'll send you an invite. I did this once before and they totally went for it.
