The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Ick, not me.

Well, at least not yet. I think it would be a bad idea for me to have them before I'm ready and I'm far from ready both financially and mentally.

I'm with you, bud.

Good. I try and keep busy. Kylee does that for me most of the day though.

Get a job you bum.

1. Hardly anyone who has kids is ready for it financially.
2. Same goes for mentally. LOL You may think so, but man does reality smack you in the face.

Not that it's a bad thing. Cause it's not.

I don't really want to be smacked in the face.

Depends on how they do it. You might like it.

You want to turn them off of HeroClix, take them to a nearby tournament. If the tournaments are like any of the ones I was in a few years ago, they will be turned off in a hurry. Granted, they might get their feelings hurt when they don't get a prize, and get last place. The cut-throat nature of the HeroClix envrionment along with everybody trying the latest Cheese Strategy posted on the internet, and the lack of any control on the powers of the figures was the last straw for me. I liked playing teams with a group theme instead of powerful cheesy characters along with a thug or two. I would like to have some of my favorite characters as mini's just to put on my monitor just so I can have fond memories of them when I read comic books.

The new generation is just not into using their imaginations like we were.

Just my 1/4 pound.

Been there done that. What fragmented the group I was with that played every friday night was one person decided to do tournaments. Suddenly EVERYONE wasn't allowed to form theme only teams, NO house rules were allowed and to top it off, when he did win he would gloat and force it in our face. Between that and how they handled the Galactus figure and began to make my figures "outdated" I quit the game. The last set I bought all of was Critical Mass.

The kids are keeping it to what it is supposed to be- fun. I will not discourage them from that. It is still quality time shared between us. I would just prefer DnD but the rules are still hard for them (ages 8 +11). Besides- its all a fad.

Last year it was the Overpower card game when they found that. Then DnD and now its Heroclix.

I do help myself, that's why she's tired.

To Aurora: Told you I would stop by and say Hi honey!

and hello all you Hivers.

hello otherhalf. Hope you enjoyed the holidaze as of so far. You should pop in here more often.

Hits like a +10 Unholy Smit of Reality Adjustment Ugly Stick. But yeah, the looks on their faces are worth it.... at least at that moment.

Slaps of reality rarely feel good. Trust me... I'm still sore from 2005 and 2006 crits. 2007 already looks bad......

Okay. I'm bored and depressed.


I will either go upstairs and watch a movie then sleep or slit my wrists and sleep.

The decision may come down to what is in the fridge to possibly eat while watching a movie and the movie selection I have to watch.....

Always fun talking to Mega. You really know how to light up a room. I'm kidding. I hope you found a movie to your liking. We will miss you around here if you didn't.
