Woohoo! Only three days in and I'm already neglecting my daily postings!
Let's talk about obsession. I'm sure a lot of people experience that feeling where your interests in a subject waxes and wanes over time. You pick up the scent of that interesting topic and spend the next few hours, days, possibly weeks, tracking every little bit of information you can about it. You obsess over it, you dream about it, you want more and more of it. Then over the course of a few days, you stop. Your obsession has moved on and that topic that took up the waking hours of your life is suddenly not that important. Of course, give yourself a few months or years and it might come back.
That's my story with Warhammer 40k. My first obsession with the game began about a decade ago, when I was still a teenager. I picked it up again about a year ago, then have just started up again a few days ago. I'm hoping that I can stymie the obsession and keep it as a healthy hobby. Part of that involves keeping my interest for a longer period of time. I'm really not that good at providing self motivation. If I have a friend (or nemesis!) to collaborate with, I tend to stay much more focused on a goal. Jorge, that's you!
I ordered the Dark Vengeance Set that includes the 6th edition mini rule-book. I'll be battling it out with Jorge this Sunday and might have my small Tyranid army built and painted as well.
For the Emperor!
