After hours of labor, the gamer is born
The day my computer was finally made "game ready" to be able to load and play WoW without a lot of lag and headache, the actual game installation began. Did you ever see a 50's sitcome (think I Love Lucy) when the woman is giving birth and the fathers are pacing in the waiting room? Nervous and anxious and oh so ready to meet their little baby? Totally what my house looked like as Clint got the game installed. The boys were pacing and chattering about it.
"What are you going to name your character?
Are you going to be Alliance or Horde?
Do you know what you are going to learn how to do?
Really, names mean everything. Have you thought about it?"
It was really quite amusing to watch. But finally....the labor was over, the delivery complete. We now had a new bouncing baby Gamer in the house. Lord help us all!
As I walked to the office I was trailed by all of the children. They all want to know what I was going to do. Each had advice for me. Even the 5 year old who has watched her brothers and father play. Everyone had hints and tips and suggestions.
I finally had to tell everyone to go away. To let me try to figure this all out with minimal help. In other words, don't speak until I ask for help. The first order of business. A name. But that is an entry all unto itself. And is just for my buddies at Blizzard. Because I owe them.
