At least work isn't boring today. Someone slipped the curve and crashed into the front of the building.

I put together a little warband for next week's SWM theme game. managed to fit 13 different races in. Human, Wookie, Trandoshan, Gamorrean, Iktotchi, Rodian, Mustafarian, Verpine, Abyssin, Mon Calamari, Ewok, Duros, and Bith.

Should be an interesting warband to play.

December is a cruel month for minis. Hopefully things pick up in the new year when all this holiday junk is done.

Further to the discussion that took place on Friday night about starting our own Guild (The Game Knights) on a WoW server.

Who all is interested?

What type of server do we want to play on?

What server do we want to play on?

What else do we need to think about?

I'm totally in.  I'm back onto WoW because... well... I played Star Wars Galaxies and realized how much better WoW is.  So, I'm back on ladies and gents.Â

I'd love to be a guild of horde players.  It'd be rockin' in yer stockin'.

I don't play either. I tried but after it took my computer 3 hours to download 16% of the demo for the game I just stopped.

Your guys computers must be really slow or somthing, It took me 2 1/2 hours to install, download patches for both the original game and the expansion.

Methinks the fastest way to patch WOW is to get your buddy to copy his WOW Directory onto a DVD. I'll be restructuring my hard drive soon so this better work. I'd hate to have to patch again. ever.

As for my commander list. I'm still working on it. I was thinking of playing CE, but cant seem to find a decent low cost CE commander. I'll email you my top 20 today MJ.

I think he's refering to downloading the whole game or expansion pack from the online servers, not just the patch.

Depends on your definition of low cost, but I like the 27 pt tiefling blademaster from wardrums. I think he managed to squeak into my top 10.

Copying from your buddy would solve that problem too :D I'm pretty sure downloading from the servers is not going to prevent the painful patching process either.

As for Tiefling comanders, I was eyeing them. I dont own the captain, and the blademaster seems ok, except that getting him in combat could be lethal, and 27 points is a bit spendy for a mostly passive piece. +5 damage is nothing to frown at though.

I'm also debating whether I should chose older commanders, so that I can play them before they become extinct, or chose the sexy new ones.

Tyler's ALIVE....... (said in my best Vincent Price voice)

And Richard, I don't play it either.  We are definitely in the minority.  Heck, as of this morning there is a GameKnight WoW thread.  And I had nothing to do with it.  Does GameKnight want to endorse WoW....I'm not sure.  I have the CCG, but that's it.

5 more sleeps until it's commander time.  Are more excited about that or Christmas?

You are correct sir.

Friday seemed the more likely time to play since Kerry was free etc. Sealed Friday night, Edge Saturday afternoon assuming we have the numbers.

Perhaps we'll have back to back Dreamblade tournaments.

It finished downloading during the night, and I installed it this morning. But the first thing it did was tell me to download the patch, so I set that up to download before I left for work. Maybe tonight I'll actually start to stumble around like a drunken monkey. Although I have no idea what kind of video card I have, so I dunno if I'll even be able to play.
