Fear and loathing in Catan

[wombat_socho]

Man, that was frustrating...two ladder games where I was so close to winning I could taste it and then WHAM, one of the other players would reel off a quick 3-4 roads and a couple of cities and it would be all over. At least I'm not getting blown out so much any more.

I also worked on my HALO skills a little bit tonight. I still suck, and I have to watch how I move my "head" in the game or the old motion sickness I used to get on Doom comes back. I don't think the bifocals help, either, since I've noticed I can't read on the bus for too long these days without becoming nauseous. OTOH, I'm becoming a lot better with the grenades, bwahaha! Still need work on my rifle skills, but then I always was a lousy shot with an M-16. Maybe my old buddy Madge is right and I should stick to shotguns. ~_^

How is Madge?

She's doing okay, I guess - got tired of the gentleman farmer bit and went back to work, although she and Morgan are still raising a bunch of goats. I don't see the attraction myself, but then they're not my goats.

Well, every parent is convinced that their kid is the best goat in the universe...

It's ok-- good aim takes practice, like anything else. Soon you'll be doing great.

I'll probably get better faster if I stop using Easy mode, which Josh says is going to teach me bad habits. Now if I can just quit walking into walls and off platforms...
