Growing Pains
Submitted by Herodotus Frost on Mon, 01/09/2006 - 7:01pm.
Hey everyone!!
It's been awhile since I have gotten to play and it feels even longer since I talked to anyone here, which makes me quite sad. My system is currently a bit too slow to handle the current game specs, and even though I bought the hardware to update, I am at least two weeks away from installing them due to the high amount of construction dust in my house as the remodeling is dying down and nearing the end. Once it's done, I will install the upgrades!
There's even bigger news though and it unfortunately involves me completely stepping away from the game. It's totally a financial reason because of some increased expenses my wife and I project to hit us this summer.
Specifically, my wife is PREGNANT!!! 
Now for the big news. Yeah, that's right my wife being pregnant with our first child isn't the big news. The big story would be that she is pregnant with our first, second, third, and fourth child!!
Yep, Frosty is having quadruplets!!! 
It's a high risk pregnancy because of the multiple births and her age (36) so she will most likely be ordered to complete bedrest in the very near future. She's the big money maker in our household, so that's going to hurt us tremendously! I will be stepping up and working about 70-80 hours a week as well as doing all the house hold chores.
As a result, we are going to be cutting back on our expenses. Unfortunately CoH/CoV has to be one of those. 
Also as of late, I have really been pursuing a career as a writer, specifically comic books, and I am spending alot of my free time doing that and working out ideas and such with a group of friends. I've just been accepted as a news reporter over at Scryptic Studios and expect to begin posting on a regular basis over there anytime. I've also working on interviewing Troy Hickman for the website Broken Frontier and I am in discussion with the site Comicavalanche about writing a regular column there.
As you can see, my life is just going in a bunch of new directions, and if I had the money I would happily stay with Coh/CoV, but I have to draw a line somewhere, and this was one of the hardest cuts to make. I've been playing at least one MMORG consistently since Novemeber of 1999, and it's really odd to think that I won't be playing for awhile.
Anyways, that's what's been going on with me. I will keep everyone posted with how things are going with my soon to be large developing family as news warrants.
In the meantime, you can always keep in touch with me by checking out either of my blogs. One is geared directly towards comics and the other is the more personal blog about myself and everything else.
To keep in touch, I can always be reached at either

If one blocks you, please try the other, or use both.
You'll hear from me soon!

Bless you, bless you, bless you and bless you.
Hope all goes well and get your sleep now. Doesn't sound like any is in your future.
Wife and I often wondered if we could have survived twins, but quadruplets.
May the force be with you!

Thanks man. I already tried talking the wife into Heredotus as a middle name, but she told me that her new husband wouldn't talk that way and neither should I!!

Wow! I guess, Grats, Good
Wow! I guess, Grats, Good Luck, and Good Bye are all in order there.
Sad to see you go, you and I have been gaming together for a bit now so I'm sort of used to you being around.
Quadruplets? Wowzer! Mazel Tov, etc.
I'll drop you a line if you don't drop me one first.
