The Lengths We Will Go

by Doug

A friend that I play SWTOR with just admitted to doping his girlfriend with sleeping pills so he could get a better night of gaming. Although I’m 70% sure he’s joking, it made me laugh. I couldn’t stop laughing because I was picturing the scene from Dumb and Dumber (shown above) where Loyd poisons Harry with “Turbo-Lax”. I pictured a Jedi making the same face as Jim Carrey’s character. Then I thought “that’s not a bad idea”. So instead of sleeping pills I opened a bottle of wine. It actually made for a perfect evening because I still had an hour of queue time to wait out. Cheers!

1st World Problems: SWTOR

by Doug

I woke up today, Dec 14th at 6:45am. I worked late last night, so I slept hard. I had three choices:

  1. Call in sick to work and play SWTOR since I’d been given access to early release (since the 13th at 6am) but haven’t even had time to login yet.
  2. Login and make a character, at least to claim some names I want for my characters. (I hope Han Solo is still available o_O)
  3. Write a blog post to keep up with my goal of at least one post a day, since today could be as busy as yesterday.

I hope this shows my maturity and my ability to have control, while hating my life until I get to play the freaking game I’ve been waiting for, since before my kindergartener was born. All of you that have had time to play or took vacation to coincide with the early access, I hate you until I catch up. That is all.
