Post? What’s that button do?
I’m not sure what’s scarier - posting after a six month absence, or that I got responses from TWO of you on the very same day. Please tell me you have more to do than hit refresh on the Brain. Otherwise, I’m going to feel very guilty.
Once I stop laughing.
Yes, I am alive -and I’m still getting married. I’m just rather busy lately, as it turns out. Not two weeks after I requested more work, I got it. Not from outside, but from my current employer. It’s been very interesting - I don’t think I’ve worked as much as I have over the last several months than in my entire life, meaning I have somehow overcome both my intrinsic laziness and my love of MMOs.
I have finally kicked the Everquest habit - after six years and untold fortunes tossed down the well in the name of intangible assets and nonexistent goals, I’ve finally canceled the account. When I told my brother, he actually hugged me. I didn’t realize it was such an issue with him, but I suppose when you have a friend who gave up his six-figure job with Lockheed-Martin to play online games 16+ hours a day, seven days a week and move back home with his father, you tend to see the online gaming glass as only half empty.

Good for you giving up the virtual fishing or whatever it is one does while “playing” Everquest. Hopefully you at least sold all of your “assets” before canceling. At least make a buck or a hundred off the other poor souls who are still sucked in.
I’d have at least shook your hand had I been given the news in person. What the hell, we’ve known ech other long enough; a hug would have been in order.

Congrats on the work and the continuing engagement. Hopefully the EQ DT’s aren’t too bad.
Hey - with all the money you save you can take a honeymoon in ol’ Eire!

I was actually referring to EQ2 - I think I logged in once last year to Ye Olde EQ Live, but I got lost in Freeport and quickly forgot why I logged in the first place. Luckily, I don’t have DTs for either game.
Of course, the XBox helps with that. What, you thought I gave up games entirely? You, sir, speak words of madness.
