For me, the worst time was about a month and a half ago. I was on a second date with an attractive college professor and we went out to eat and then to a pinball bar in the north part of Chicago. There was a few hours left for a tournament, so I kept saying my bladder was full and went to the bathroom to play a round. Then when she went to play a game of pinball, I stood behind her and snuck my iPhone and played a round. I felt so dirty. But I haven't gotten to the point where I've played while sex. Just a few minutes afterwards. Sigh.

I'd like to end in the top 300 of course, but I think I can realistically end in the top 1500 without too much difficulty. I haven't done anything too crazy. Right before Thanksgiving, I was sneaking in a few matches every two hours for lightning rounds at work, but aside from that, I'm doing pretty well on not going crazy with it. Although my wife thinks I'm totally addicted. She hasn't started playing yet.

Although my wife thinks I'm totally addicted. She hasn't started playing yet. I WOKE UP AT 4AM TI GRIND HULK MISSIONS. I won't reach 50k because that ginormous Juggernaut killed us all one time. I realize once you lose, the opportunity to score that rubber banded total goes away. It counts. I beat that mission twice but the second time saw a massive drop in points awarded. Sigh.

It's not, don't worry about it. Wait, wait, wait, if you lose it makes it so the points drop when you retry? I thought that was only in PVP not in PVE.

From every other description I thought you were a drinking buddy that I was out with last night, but then you mentioned the kid. My stories can't compare to most of you all. Probably my most ridiculous was harassing the IT support staff to allow my phone onto the corporate wifi because my mobile service cut out in the last 30 minutes of a PVP. They had no idea why I'd be so frantic over getting some wifi.
