Picking Up the Hammer

I just drove into my driveway and noticed that one of my trees was leaning too far one way. There was only one thing to do. I had to get out my hammer and drive a spike into the ground so I could tie off the tree.

I do not consider myself much of a handy man, but after 15 years of marriage I have learned a few things about taking care of the home. I managed to pound in that tree stake without crushing my thumb at least.

Now I am wondering about whether or not to pick up another kind of "hammer". As a current fanatic of "that one MMO that everyone plays," I'm intrigued at the prospect of this, but not for the reason you might expect. I really doubt that Warhammer will be better top to bottom from World of Warcraft, but it is new and promises to deliver a pretty decent player base with over a million copies pre-ordered. The thing that really attracts me to this game is that I can get in on the ground level so to speak. I want to be part of a game launch. To experience the content without having a handy dandy web guide to tell me exactly how to play the game.

So I've mulled it over and decided I'm going to give it a try. However, I am not one of those million people who pre ordered it, so I hope I don't have to wait to long.
