We all know the saying. It is that saying, "It is better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all.", that is echoing through my mind as I realize I only have a few more days to play the beta, unless a miracle happens and I get a key before then. This sweet, sweet beta, that even in all it's imperfections and uncompleteness, has given me more joy than any other game I have ever played. It's like Blue Manchu reached into my mind and made Card Hunter FOR ME. I know they didn't, but the kind of game they have made is the very kind of game I have always wanted to play. Even though they did not directly give me access to their game, one kind user named Wozarg took pity on me and let me use his account for a few days. Well, I actually have a few more days with it, so my time in the sun is not yet over. But it is for that time of basking in the pure joy giving rays of the ball of electronic light known as Card Hunter that I am ever grateful, as I am to BM (lol, not sure about those initials) for making this monumental gem of entertainment gold. Come Monday, I will sit in my place of darkness, reflecting fondly on the time I had in the light, and fixing my gaze firmly on the time that I will eventually be able to have my own golden ticket, or until the gates of Eden are swung wide open for all to enter into the splendor of Card Hunter. The time of gaming bliss is at hand. I have tasted it, and I will remember its sweetness even in the dark hours to come where I am severed from its beautiful embrace.
Heh, please don't feel guilty. Others need to see how awesome this game is for themselves. I know I'm not the only one out there that was dreaming about playing it. Now I just have something real to go along with the dreams, and I know my dreams were not in vain. Other people should get that chance as well.
That was a well written piece, MrMojo. In response, I will probably open my account for limited hours to others after the weekend as it's just sitting there when I'm at work. So either someone in the UK who has time on their hands between 09:00 and 18:00 GMT or someone who is in a compatible time zone to take advantage.
Thanks. I was fully expecting for people to tell me that I am pathetic and to get a life. Well, that could still happen, lol, but at least some people understand where I am coming from.
