Bring in the Good Stuff
Some real fantastic news here folks, of all sorts.
First, my best bud Jeremy was planning on moving to Nashville, the land of lots of traffic and an unhealthy amount of country music. So that sucked. But then he told me he's not moving back there, and that family/friends are more important than a few extra bucks from The Man. Yes! Call me a happy camper. It was just too depressing to think of him as yet another Good Bud Lost To The Wilderness of Earth (like this one).
Secondly, I now have The Game. Yes, it is installed. Yes, I have played about 30 minutes worth. Yes, it looks so good it makes you want to blush. Yes, it takes a very powerful machine to run in a low resolution. But regardless, you will fall down weeping as to how good this game looks.
I would've played longer but Ericka said she needed to go to sleep, so I promptly went to Magic Online and lost two fucking drafting tournaments in a row.
A draft tournament is where you use $13 worth of goods to compete against other players in hopes of prizes. Yes it's single elimination (lose 2 out of 3 games with another player, you're out). If you just make it through the first round you win 2 packs, which leaves you with only 1 pack and 2 $1 tickets left before you can play again. But nooOOooo, I had to blow it twice, something that is baffling in as much as I got 2nd place in the previous 2 drafts (which renders 3 packs). Ugh. Just so...painful.
Anyway, good news with the bad, with the former out-weighing the latter. I'm happy with those stats, but that doesn't make the sting of those losses hurt any less. Grr. You think after about 60 drafts (yes, 60), I would be more consistent. Hrmph.
