Hey Guys,
Sorry for being MIA for a few months. I thought things would slow down at work, but they haven't (which is kind of a good thing). I had an employee mentally check out and pull a Mogwai Prime on us right before a deliverable, forcing everyone to work overtime to finish his work. Can't say I blame him. If you work for me, it is only a matter of time before you go nuts and become clinically depressed.
But seriously, I think his girlfriend dumped him and he was already insecure to begin with. Wish I could be of more help to him.
I have also changed my name from "revengeofstarscream" to "Naked Magnus".It also looks like I will be traveling internationally again and I have been busy preparing for that trip.
I have been meaning to post pictures of my trip to the UK. After meetings with my client in Liverpool, I traveled to Newcastle to hang out with Zordon.
Zordon is an awesome guy! He took time off from work to take me sightseeing for a few days. We saw a portion of Hadrian's wall that is very well preserved. I am a sucker for old Roman stuff, so I found it really cool.
Unfortunately, we ran out of time to plot the demise of the Decepticon faction.
It was really fun to meet a fellow HMW player in real life for the first time. I don't think there is anyone else who plays the game and lives near me.
Here I am standing next to Handrian's wall.
Here are Zordon and I at Housesteads Roman Fort.
Here I am with Zordon and his Fiance having a proper English supper (well actually, we are having dessert). I needed to try Yorkshire Puddings before leaving the UK.
OK, now that ya'all know what I look like, I expect some of the Cons will track me down and try to get revenge.
I know we typically do not post pictures of ourselves on the HMW boards, but I thought you guys would like to hear about an instance where two HMW players from different continents meet up in real life. I did not know Zordon before playing this game, and it is interesting how a simple game like HMW can start long distance friendships.
Also, Zordon witnessed my obsession with HMW. He can personally attest to the fact that I carry my iPhone around with me and play the game constantly. Although, the OS4.0 update made my iPhone 3G SLOW AS HELL, causing me not to play it as much on my phone.
