Interesting weekend. My life is always so interesting though, unlike yours. Muahaha. Anyway, internet is down AGAIN, so therefore life sucks. But at least let me tell some stories.
Yesterday, I played the biggest asshole ever in a game. Tron, Brian and I all rolled up to the local gaming store where Gamesworkshop (the makers of my miniature game) were giving away free stuff. This one guy comes up to me and asks me if I want to play. I agree, and he seemed like a nice guy. And then, we started to play, and I swear, the moon musta been full or some shit, cuz he turned into a ravaging beast that wanted to gouge my eyes out. Which is perfectly fine, I can deal with bloodlust, but he was also the rudest gamer I ever played in my life. He talked so much shit, that I wanted to punch him. He also had a 300 point handicap (if you don't know what this means, I don't feel like explaining it, so tough). He even said that his army was so unbeatable that even he "didn't think he could beat it."
On top of all of this, he also was very undignified and had no gaming etiquette whatsoever. Before the game started, he asked me what all my units did. I explained to him what did what, and when I went to ask him what his army's strengths and weaknesses was, he said that i shouldn't ask him and i'll find out when we started playing. That's BULLSHIT. How the fuck do you ask someone how their army works and then not return the favor??? Don't worry, i'll beat his ass later on. And then we'll play the game.
Today, was also a very intense day. Brian and I were bidding on E-Bay, yes, i'm a super nerd (pronounced: soo-pah nul-doh), and we were about to get a really good deal on this one bid. Basically we were going to get it for more then half off retail. Of course, I told brian that some asshole will probably try to outbid us in the last 30 seconds. With two minutes left, some guy bid, raising the price so we decided to increase our max bid incase we really did get outbid. Our max jumped from $80 to $90. I also set up a second window with an even higher max of $110.15 just in case. As soon as we rebid, I saw that our max bid was already outbid. There was only 15 seconds left, so I quickly shifted to the other bid window with my bid already placed and clicked the button. The screen changed, but it said "Auction has ended".
We hung our heads in shame, still in shock that we really did lose to an asshole in the last 15 seconds of bidding. I refreshed the window just to see who the ass was, and to see what the final bid price was. All of a sudden it said "Mystic511 has won this auction." The total price: $110.15!
It turned out that our bid did go through (I still don't know how), and we beat the guy by FIFTEEN cents. His max bid was $110!!!! We screamed in joy like little schoolgirls and proceeded to curse the other bidder out for putting us through what we went through for those precious last 20 seconds.
What? I already admited i'm a super nerd.
At least I accept it.
