Well, the marriage was great, I'm very happy to be with the one I'm meant to be with. She's great and I'm still reeling from this weekend

I got to check out NVGL as well. Great place, I could see myself frequenting that place a couple times a week. Unfortunately, all the SC2 players had cleared out by the time I rolled up. I had to play against my sister in that and a little Halo. Tim was very nice and accomodating and really has his stuff together, so I wish him the best in getting NVGL out across the nation, and we'll try to work with him on bringing one to Albuquerque. Seeing SC2 in all its high definition glory was pretty nice.

Got to play SC2 with my friends twice!!!! Once before my lady got there, which she didn't know about, and then on Sunday.

Jack, thanks for having us over, you have a sweet gaming setup. Those other guys have a rather small TV, but yours was just right. Hope we didn't come off as these SC2 jerks who just wanted to waste everyone. We just play competitively, all in good fun of course. I play a pretty good tournament scene down here in NM and I also used to play a lot of tournaments with those guys that came over with me. Once you get to play against more variety, your game will take off for sure. Anyway, hope we didn't come off as jerks, cuz my friends thought you guys weren't too happy when we left. I didn't notice it, but they said they felt some tension when we left. Hope you get some games in with them, as they're pretty cool guys.

Anyway, great trip to Kansas. SC2, NVGL, and of course, my marriage. See you next time Jack.

No problem man. We got some good games at Jacks on Sunday and he has my friends numbers if you're looking for some extra SC2 competition. I'm sure they'd pony up some money if Tim were to throw a SC2 tourney at NVGL. Look forward to our next session people, and good luck with the advertising for the site. Can't wait to see that NVGL come to Lawrence, Jack made it sound pretty sweet.``

Thanks for stopping by! Sorry we couldn't play longer - we had been playing NFL Fever 2004 and SC2 for about 6 hours before you got there, so we might have seemed a little tired or out of it. I hope we can all do this again sometime, and I'll be sure and let you know the next time I'm in New Mexico!

Hey man, thanks for coming by. We had some fun playing, you guys were just awesome. I wish I could get the characters figured out just as much as you guys had them figured out...oh well. Yeah, sorry we also didn't talk too much, we literally had been playing Fever and Otogi for about 6 hours before you guys showed up. But it was fun, and next time you're in town, definitely give us a call.

Yeah, I think the original plan was for much earlier, so it's understandable you guys were pretty much burned out on games by the time we got there. If you call up Brian and get some games in with them, your game will go up a lot. I have to play with people that are better than me to improve myself. I just got a stick, one of those Pelican arcade sticks. The stick and buttons have a solid feel and it has a lifetime guarantee. So far, it works great, we'll see on other characters tho.

Anyway, hope to make it back at least one more time before the new year. If not, I'll probably be back in January when my lady and I bring our baby home to NM. I may rent fever just to get some games in with you Jack. Still gotta get Tetris online for 20 as well. Thanks again for having us, looking forward to your progress at our next meeting.

I didn't sense anything from you guys, not anything bad. I realized that you guys had been playing a while tho, since I told Sam we'd be over way earlier. Then I go and forget the apartment number, great! It was cool to have a group of people playing tho. I'm sure by the next time I get there, you guys will have had plenty of practice and it won't be as easy to take you guys down. Hope I can make it back for one of the SC2 tournaments at NVGL, that'd be cool, maybe I could win it, who knows. We were supposed to have one down here on Saturday, but it fell thru, so looks like our next one is at the end of the month. So it was nice meeting all three of you, thanks for giving us some games even after you were all pretty spent on games. Hope to get out there and play again soon, I'll definitely call you guys up.
