Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm sure everyone has felt it already. First there was Halloween. Pumpkins to carve, candy to buy (and eat), costumes to make, trick-or-treating to do... It can take a heavy toll on the Craft of Stars, if you will.

Next, for you Americans, there's Thanksgiving. Turkeys to cook, family to visit, and in my opinion - if you're doing it right - hangovers to survive.

After that is the toughest one yet: Christmas. There are presents to buy and wrap, trees to set up and decorate, cards to write, lights to hang, eggs to nog, etc, etc.

And lastly, New Years. The fireworks, the beer, the party poppers and noisemakers, the resolutions, sitting in front of the TV and watching the Space Needle shoot fire in every direction (Well for me, at least)... There's a lot of holidaying going on.

So what are your plans for Starcraft this season? How do you even get around to it? Do you try harder to find time to play? Do you just let it slip off the radar until January? Or better yet, do you buy Wings of Liberty for all your friends as Christmas presents and make them play with you in a Holiday LAN party? And possibly most importantly, who's with me on my covert mission to Blizzard HQ to steal a beta of Heart of the Swarm before Christmas?

Gooood... And after we steal that, we can look around for Diablo 3, and all the other goodies Blizzard has locked away from us.

Yeah, same here. I'm not back home with my family, so it'll most likely be a boring holiday season. Hopefully I can make the best of it in Japan. Not like they celebrate half the holidays we have.
