Arise Blog! Arise!

 /prep spell "revive blog."

-Spell "revive blog" has been prepped.

/cast spell "revive blog." 

-You cast Spell "revive blog"

--Blog has been revived.  You hold your breath to see if anyone remembers or cares.  You are disappointed to see that only the spammers and the bots are interested in new posts by you.  The internet has moved on.  Worse yet, people have declared that the ACW is not the best CW after all. 

Remember those old text adventure games?  Some of them were more snarky than others.  

Arise! 

Hi there.  Welcome back to the blog of Terrible loss.  Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and any other holidays that I might of missed.  Also any important life events that might have happened.  

Did your dog get married?  that's wonderful.

Did you have to put your Aunt to sleep?  that's sad.

Did I get those mixed up?  I'll fix it later.*

In all seriousness, I hope you all had a nice enough winter break.  I'll now take a moment to go read AAALLLL of the blog posts that I have missed over the last 3 months.  Be right back...

/play inner monologue

-Inner Monologue is playing while you read blog posts of other bloggers.  as you scan over several posts it goes something like this: "yes, that is good.......fine, fine.....all very well over there....Gah!  those are god awful and that is a stupid idea, but I'll write a comment that says "those are really good, and it's an interesting idea.' because I want to be nice and to be seen as encouraging even if it's the worse idea I've heard in 6 years and no one wants honesty.....I'm sure nobody does that to me...

Great stuff everyone.  Nice to see that you all held down the Blogasphere without me.  It's almost like another wargaming blog like this one isn't even needed.... Never mind.

The Start of the Wargaming Season

Like many men, one can track my life through seasons.  Baseball season, football season, hockey season...etc... Though I don't watch any sports because sports are lame and extremely boring to watch.  Plus whenever I'm around sports-watching-people and they say things like "We Won YAAAAY!"  I'm always having to make a Self Control check (2+) to not say "correction; the sports team that you wanted to win because you overly identify with their victories or defeats has won the game, therefore you feel good, but you did nothing. THEY won.  Not you.   yaaaaay."  

I'm never invited to watch sport games.

So nothing lame like that.  I mean the wargaming season.  Something substantially more important.  Miniature wargaming, where fortunes are made and actual lives are changed forever.  

It just turns out that near the end of the year things get really busy around here at house Terrible and time for hobbying tends to evaporate.  It then resurges in the new year as time returns as the children all distracted by all the new toys they got and the wife is bought off with all the expensive jewelry she got and I finally get some alone time to sit at a desk and make believe with little soldiers.  real Grown Up stuff.

The Wargaming season starts NOW, and should last till around October / Novemember-ish depending on resources, time, and inclination.  

The Hobby season coincides with the Blogging Season.  So lucky, all of us. Because how does one even do wargaming without a blog?  Mind boggling.  

I actually did some wargaming stuff over the break; made some terrain and markers,  went a local convention and hosted two games.  I didn't take any pictures which at the time I found LIBERATING but now I kinda wish I did. If only there was some other person there who could take pictures for me.  Oh wait,  there was. 

Mr. GM over on his blog took pics.  See it HERES is so desires.  My games are the Dark Ages and the ACW (the McPherson's Ridge game as featured on this blog before) nearer the end of the post.

Go!

Go as in begin, and Go as in 'get out of here.'  I'll begin reading and commenting on the blogs of the usual suspects and we'll see who wants to to be Best Blogging Buddies again.  No harm if you don't.  Just ignore me till I get the hint.  But if ya do then leave comments back and we'll be like old friends come back from the front. Starting at the top of the blog roll and going down. 

And now it's time for me to GO and get out of here.  As this post has gone on long enough without providing any super cool miniature wargaming content.  Which is the thing we all desire. 

Hopefully talk to you again soon.

Thanks for Reading,

Double thanks for writing a comment.

Till Net time.
