Warhammer Related ... Sort Of


So week before last I anxiously awaited my copy of Warhammer Online - only to have UPS come three times and never give it to me. Seems they wanted a signature and I was at work (next time I'll deliver it there). So on the third trip I signed the form and checked the box to leave with my neighbor. We share the house in a multifamily home and she's always at home with her toddler. No dice.

So when Warhammer locked all of us out on opening day, I went to my local gamestop and got a normal copy and saved the receipt. Today I go back to UPS to get it. The looks at my receipt and goes, "Ooo high value!" He then proceeds to call someone over at the warehouse to see if they have it. They do and he tells me to proceed over there.

I drive over there and the place is a ghost town as seen in the picture. I just wander around til I find a guy in a brown uniform and he happens to have my package.

Why on earth would a $50 be listed as high value? I imagine that's a standard amount for most things that come in the mail. Never mind the fact just two weeks ago Amazon sent me Spore: Galatic edition (~$80) and just stuck it under the mat also using UPS.

Warhammer Online - Closed Beta

Had a good night in WAR this week - tried a lot more low levels than I did previously and logged onto a Zealot and played with my best friend Mystique as a shemale. I had a blast and it only reinforced why we play games with friends and not alone. Just running around doing Public Quests with a friend was infinitely more fun. I knew she wouldn't let me die and vice versa.

I installed Spore this morning but haven't played it yet. Have a few days of downtime now as I wait for pre-order non collectors edition head start.
