I got a new house?!
To the few people that actually read this blog (all three posts),
apologies in the long wait between posts.
Buying a house is no simple task, and as the clocked ticked closer to
the “closing” date. I, in turn, became a
twitching, anxious wreck. Simple tasks requiring
any amount of concentration were impossible.
The good news, it’s OVER!
I now own my very own half acre of prime desert real estate. The home is gorgeous. It has just the right amount of work so that
I get my hands dirty and to get that real sense of ownership that comes with
building something. At the same time,
not SOOOO much work that it becomes a money pit. In all, my wife and I are incredibly
happy. This added stability now adds a
new level of calm to my life, (No more late night parties from the neighboring
apartments!) so I can blog MORE!
First, a side note, yesterday was the first day to put have some of the
utilities turned on and hooked up.
Friday, when we moved in, we made sure to have the water turned on, but
the propane to the house was not turned on.
Our water heater is propane heated, so of course, without propane we
have no hot water. When Monday rolls
around, and in the early morning the Charter technician comes out and does what
he does to turn on the internet. After
work, we take care of the last few things needed to get the propane into the
house and then get the hot water heater going.
It was right after that when I explained to my wife that in true nerd
fashion, we had internet to the house before we had hot water.
NERD PRIDE YO
With the money I’ll be saving with the house move, it’s time to upgrade
the PC before Guild Wars 2 comes out.
The current beast use to chomp through Warcraft, but these days there is
still a lot of computer lag in large PvP situations, even with the graphics
turned all the way down. Sad times
indeed, it was the first computer I ever built. The current dream is to have a PC capable of
maxing out settings in Guild Wars 2, and streaming to Twitch.tv. This new build will be my first attempt at
over-clocking. So I get to flex a bit of
my geek-fu.
BUT STILL NO GUILD WARS 2
I know. It’s hard to be a Guild
Wars 2 blog when you haven’t actually played it. I missed the first one as a conscious choice
not to oversaturate, and the second one due to the home move.
I did want to put out there that the guild I’m running with at launch
and in the beta tests is Team Legacy. (teamlegacy.net) Team Legacy will
(without a doubt) be a force in the WvW scene, they are also looking at hosting
PvP tournaments, AND fielding their own team.
I feel sort of swept up in a fairly impressive gaming community, but it
has a very different flavor from what I’m familiar with.
You can expect to see in this blog: reports on daily / battles which
the guild goes through, hopefully with added video content. And observations, analysis, commentary on PvP
tournaments from anywhere I can find out about them. This, my readers, is what I mean about connecting
YOU with the game you play.
And now--- I leave you with the video, of a Team Legacy’s farewell
party from BWE2, the March of the Golems.
