DAoC

Geek Alert! So last night I spent the better part of the evening playing with my shiny new toy, Trials of Atlantis, which is the expansion pack for for Dark Age of Camelot. Dark Age of Camelot is the PC game that I've been playing now for about 2 years. Marc really, really hates it. ;)

DAoC is an MMORPG game, which stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game. It's a lot like games like Diablo, except that it's played entirely online, with thousands of other people in real time. Everquest is a similar game, and probably the one most people have heard about. It's a really addicting genre, and the games are pretty huge time sinks. But it's FUN.

Because I was so excited about playing my new game, I slacked a little and just let Bandit into the backyard when he got antsy. This got me a tongue-lashing from Marc, since I've given him numerous tongue-lashings for doing the same thing. I guess I should back up a bit. Bandit, as far as we can tell, is STILL not potty trained. It's pretty embarrassing for us, since he's nearly 8 months old now. The problem is that we did a lousy job when he was a little pup, mostly due to us disagreeing on how to use the crate to train him. And now the little bugger is older now, and can hold it longer, so there aren't a lot of opportunities for us to "catch him in the act," since we're both gone at work most of the day. So I've been trying to get us to be more diligent about going with him outside when he needs to go so that we can praise him for doing the right thing, rather than just letting him outside alone.
