If I knew I'd be able to play it - I would buy it with no hesitation and with my wife's blessing. But I doubt I'd have time and opponents to play it...<br /><br />So I still don't have it.<br /><br />Play more!

That's why gamers so often go shopping on their own - to avoid that voice of reason. It's also more difficult to hide those new shiny purchases when the missus is standing next to you at the cash desk!Sam Patehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141121566526149379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3514527600266823840.post-74668158128334726422010-07-19T01:15:17.280-07:002010-07-19T01:15:17.280-07:00That revelation - the moment of 'why buy this ...That revelation - the moment of 'why buy this when I don't play what I have?' - is never comfortable, but it's an important one.

Or something like that, anyway.<br /><br />Glad to see you back.Vonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12583821960347555993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3514527600266823840.post-50550270141891923372010-07-19T00:49:59.846-07:002010-07-19T00:49:59.846-07:00This "life gets in the way" thing is a r...This "life gets in the way" thing is a real bummer. I'm struggling with the same dilemma and my gaming group have now missed two sessions because of job/holidays/kids etc. <br /><br />I’m not sure if there is an answer to this problem, leastways I haven’t discovered it yet.BigLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960213980906190335noreply@blogger.com
