This is my second LG’s and am excited for another year. First and foremost, thank you to all the staff who put way more time than I probably can even imagine into making this happen /u/USS-SpongeBob /u/wallygator88 /u/Djundjila /u/walden /u/DoctorRotor /u/J33pGuy13 /u/VisceralWatch /u/merikus /u/EldrormR. And also thank you to the sponsors and prize donors for all the generosity.
Now, onto the games. I listened to the pre-games podcast and really plan on taking it to heart. I am going to play the games the way I want to play, hopefully not waste judge time, and just live in the moment of my 30-ish minutes of shaving a day (except when I have to shave my legs…..thanks).
The LG to me is more about the people. I was a lurker but felt the LG brings everyone (including me) together. One of my favorite parts is the pings to everyone. I have no clue what place I was last year but know that I made /u/OnionMiasma chuckle with a story and got an end of games ping. So, I am going to ping and comment all month long. Let’s have fun!
I got this soap from /u/wyze0ne on the ‘zaar and have been saving it for its maiden voyage today. I whipped it up with the handle made by /u/whosgotthepudding to find it has an interesting scent and performance that was fine too. I have limited aftershaves so get ready for repeats – I chose Alive because of the herbaceous qualities in both (cilantro for soap, basil for AS). I may not have everything new but my goal for this year is just better than last year. Here is to hoping I do not screw up the formatting or forget products.
