So, news

Hey everyone! I know I haven't been around much lately, for which I blame Star Wars: The Old Republic and Skyrim, but I had some big news come down the pipe that I wanted to share. I'm going to be a dad! We found out over the weekend that my wife and I have conceived a future gamer. I am of course both excited and terrified.

Congrats, yo!

Back in '04 I was a first time dad. I understand being scared. Just listen to advice from other parents, watch and learn and you should be just fine.

zarathstra, congratulations! I hope you have a wonderful experience and being a parent, I've heard, is one of the most rewarding experiences you will have in your life. Also, don't sweat being a parent, it's hard to screw your kids up, as long as you don't beat them, and are there for them!

What are you going to name him/her? Please call the baby Zarathstra!

Having been a father for over five years now, I'm going to share the single greatest piece of advice I can.

They poop so fucking much it's insane. Really. How does something that size shit so much?!

...Ok, less advice and more a warning.


...


Congratulations!

So, be prepared for poop, got it! Thanks Hawk!

And thanks everyone else. I know this is going to be a hell of an experience. I just hope I don't end up as one of those people on the news who leaves the carseat on the roof of the car and drives away

Well that's ominous. I'm sure you're on some kind of FBI watchlist now. =)

Congrats!

Just remember, every little thing you do screws up your kid a little bit more each day.

Congratulations!

Congrats! It's an awesome thing being a parent, an unprecedented responsibility, but if you're the right kind of person, you'll love it. At least it's not twins, now that's scary. Exciting, but scary.
