Yesterday just reaffirmined just how great my wife is. 6 years ago she bought me a LOTR NIB. For my 30th birthday yesterday she did it again!
The other great thing was TOPL was at my house so it was like a box opening party so everyone got to enjoy in the excitment of the NIB Stern experiance.
Anyway here are some pics from the evening, I'm still in shock that I have this in my house and I just want to say thanks to Mike, Andrew, Glen, Chris, Colin, Sean, and the other guys who don't frequent MAACA for helping get the machine setup and partaking in the whole experiance.
Wow, that's awesome. Finally a game to challenge you!

Gratz.... I sure hope for her B'day you didn't buy her a NIB toaster! but I should add that we all have the best wives! What "normal" wife would put up with us disapearing for a Saturday to go to SB auction when we should be at home shovelling snow or cutting the grass? Spending hours " whacking a small metal ball around a box"? Throwing a few $$ on the credit card for the part that we "need"? Never questions you when you say you need some "rubbers"!
Humans are like Slinkys, it always puts a smile on your face when you push one down the stairs!

But yea I think Warren hit the nail on the head with his new age BSD comment. It's fast, it's hard and it's unforgiving. It's also got some decent depth with a few stacking oppertunities and a final wizard mode that sounds like it will be quite difficult to achive.

Yea it was pretty much a suprise. There will subtle hints here and there, and I had dreams of grandur that she might actually buy me a machine, but I had no idea she actually did.
My parents helped out, she bought it from Playdium and my parents picked it up in their van on the Monday and brought it over to my house.
Congrats on the IM. I should show the wife this thread .
