Not even a month old and we're already suffering...

Ah, the ravages of time. Our young blog crawled from the primordial ooze, ate some of the indiginous wildlife, and then kicked back on the couch with a six-pack of some shoddily brewed ale and a wife-beater, waiting for the end that would inevitably come. But we haven't given up hope. At least, I'd like to think that there is some hope out there for the taking.

So today I give you hope. And a topic. "He Who Shall Remain Nameless" will need to get the word out amongst the guys that those who aren't participating in the blog should, and if they don't, we'll introduce them to our mutual friend, Bubba. I don't have any of their email addresses, so it kind of hinders my attempt at getting them to check out the blog. But you Mr. Nameless, oh WE KNOW you have the means of contacting them. You can't deny it. Well, you can deny it but we all know you'd be lying. Okay, so we wouldn't KNOW you were lying, but it's a safe bet that you would be. Not necessarily a safe bet, but I mean we're talking 60-40 odds that you WOULD know something about how to contact them, which is good enough for a trial of your peers. Or at least a trial of people who could have ran into you in a Wal-Mart parking lot. If they ever went to Wal-Mart.

I CANT STOP! Dang you Douglas Adams! I must apologize for my circular logic and diatribe, but I have just finished listening to the BBC radio production of the Complete Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy. Top notch entertainment if I must say so. And since I am getting tired, I'll leave you with a little something... enjoy.

What is this "Starcraft" you are speaking of?

So I saw the game play demo for Starcraft II today at work, and I must say it looks pretty sweet. Unfortunately, that's about where my knowledge of Starcraft ends. I have never played Starcraft. Ever. I know that some would say that was a sacriledge, but there you have it. I don't know why I didn't play. I would like to think that it was due to the fact that I've never had a computer that could handle the good games, except for at work. But I think that's a rather bad excuse. So as I was sitting through the co-worker torturing for having not played Starcraft, and looking at what was, I will admit, a rather impressive demo, I decided that I will play this "Starcraft 2". I will join the RTS world, and I'm completely prepared to get sucked in, spend hours every night trying to hone my skills, ruining my family life, wearing the same clothes for 3 days straight, and speaking the lingo. "All your base are belong to us!" and whatnot.

But wait. There is just one problem. I don't like RTS games. Okay maybe that's a little harsh, but it's true. It all stems back to "Age of Empires". I was first introduced to AofE by Westley and Joe Bob. I think the only reason they wanted me to play is so that they could have some easy kills on their way to bigger and better things. Pretty much how I am at playing Halo. But at least in Halo you can snipe a guy in the back of the head. Anyway, you know how it is. They sit you down at a computer and tell you all you have to do is cut down the forest with the little villagers. So you spend 30 minutes gathering wood, having a grand ol' time, and then a horde of Pikemen come screaming through and the next thing you know, they've ransacked the village and taken all the hot chicks captive. Which would lead to this exchange:

Me: "Hey, uh, how do I stop the invading hordes?"
Westley: "Oh, sorry, forgot to tell you that you need to build a barracks."
Me: "Oh, and the barracks will stop the hordes?"
Westley: "No, you'll need to use the barracks to make soldiers."
Me: "That would have been helpful to know 30 minutes ago."
Westley: "Sorry about that, I didn't expect you to be attacked so soon. You must be near the computer's village."
Me: "Oh, well I'll have to stop the compu... hey, how come the hordes were Red? I thought you were Red?"
Westley: "Oh, that was you? Uh... yeah... Hey Joe Bob, you want to establish a trade route?

So needless to say my interest was not held very long. So concerning this "Starcraft". Will I play it? Probably, it looks pretty cool. Will I play for hours on end? Nope.

But I reserve the right to change that to a Yes at any time.

Estimated Underestimation?

Obviously Salvagio Has underestimated my Blog Posting Prowess, and perhaps overestimatedmy spare time.
At any rate here is a pic just so im not confused with someone who doesnt know how to use this, uh... whatever this new fangled gadget is.
