Things Least Expected

A few days ago I stepped away from playing Plants vs Zombies (which is incredibly fun) to call my mum (who we’ve found out has cancer). I’ve since discovered that not closing Plants vs Zombies was a mistake because I received a phone call later that day from Oui to tell me “I’ve finished that game”. He’d been nagging me to play it all the time because he liked to watch, something that should have been an indicator to me, but it seems something about it has triggered his intense interest.

It’s so hard to predict what he will like sometimes, but like any addicition of his he is losing sleep over it via the ‘just one more level’ method. He thankfully decided to create his own profile after finishing the game on mine and has already finished the main game and is now plowing through everything else, of which there is an abundance. It’s rare to see a game as small and cheap as this (it was $10 on steam) that has so much game packed into it.

    It was US$20 for us about a week ago. I wonder if you have different Steam pricing there.

    But yes, it’s cheap.

    I’m sure glad I got it when I did then because without playing it I wouldn’t have thought it would be worth US$20.

    That’s terrible news about your mum, Ben. How far advanced is it, and what are her chances of recovery? We find out about Kim’s mum’s chemo results tommorrow, so fingers crossed.

    I hope Kim’s mum’s results turn out good :)

    I don’t know a lot about my mums cancer but she told me it is in the final stage and that there is no possibility of treatment, except for some experimental pill.

    We’re all good though :)

    Hey, sorry to hear about your mother – I’m in a similar position, mines been having treatment for a couple of years now.

    On the bright side, nice to see you doing all those old TBC instances! Impressive amount of achievement points you have, especially for a DK – I just got my 405th and I have 2.5 years on the dwarf!

    I hope your mothers treatment is going well and I should probably add that everything about my mums cancer progress is second hand information from a person (ie my mum) who thinks a splinter is a death sentence so I can’t be sure of the accuracy.

    Ha, sounds EXACTLY like mine!

    Mothers. Honestly.
