Warmachine MKII

Welcome back sorry for the lack of...anything. I was playing MK II which caused to go through Geek Metathesiophobia. Yeah I'll wait for you to Google it.... just chiding you it's fear of change. Now Geek Metaphobia for short (well short ER) is the steps geeks go though to deal with change. First there's hope that they will get cooler stuff then everyone else for there class, race or etc this is leading up to the change. Next comes the Fear that they will get "the Nerf"(right before the change).Realization is next this can go two ways when the change happens down or up. Down causes the Geek to Doom spiral. This step can be interesting to watch from the outside cause it's funny if it's not you. DS Geek will recover IF he does not go on a forum with other DS Geeks then they turn in to one of those giant African bird swarms you see on TV where you can't tell who is the leader and nether can they but they fallow anyway. The leader of the swarm is usually the last guy to post the worst thing on the forum about the change, this brings the swarm down lower and lower to the ground. Lucky most times the swarm brakes up before they hit rock bottom but instead of thousands of pounds of birds pelting the Savannah you get very good ebay deals as the geeks leave the game. The other way it can go is "The Cheese rides high" this is where our geek is validated in his hopes and dreams till something robs him of it or other changes happen.

Guys why do we do this?

More to come later.
