Hehe
Next time show him character creation. It'll take about 1-2 hours for a very simple costume that I'd consider myself slacking and not put any bells or whistles on him either. It was loads of fun when I had my roommate who plays WoW make a few characters. Ugly looking and simple characters, but still took as long to make my elaborate just right face scale to make him different from my other character and an innovative costume that doesn't look like any of my other characters.

Except... when I went to show off my character to my nephew (who plays Wow):
See? This zone is called the Storm Palace. Cool, huh? Before I show you the palace, let's see how I do against these brutes... /faceplant.
Hmmm. I guess a dozen of them were too many.... Well, this is the storm palace itself. Oh, there's some wisps. They look weird don't they? Let's see if I can pull just one.... /faceplant.
Anyway, I'm going back to Peregrine Island where it's safer. Oh look! It's an invasion. See, that's a rikti ship! Aren't they cool? /faceplant.
Needless to say, I don't think I impressed him with the survivability of my character, although I did get to demonstrate the lack of any meaningful death penalty at level 50.

Buahahaha! Murphy's Law in as fine as form as ever. 
So I brought my laptop to my parent's house, where I'm visiting for the 4th of July weekend.
I had a fun weekend!
It's not that powerful, but I can at least log in and do some marketing. But that's all, right?
Oh, a hami raid? Oh, I've got 2 hours and that'll be fun! Just so long as my laptop can handle it (which it does....)
After that I'm off to fireworks for the evening, but I do log in late at night and talk to a friend for several hours.
Next day... log in... Oh, a rikti ship raid? Those don't take too long! Off I go....
Oh, Kronos Titan is up? I gotta go help!
An invite to kill Eochai and Jack in Irons? Sure!
An invite to help kill Nemesis? I'm always up for an AV fight!
You want to run my Infernal mission? Sure! I've had it for two years, about time I finish it!
Want to do Chimera too? Let's go!
Next is Dominatrix!
Then Shadowhunter!
Ok, now it's Malaise!
Here comes Seige!
Maurader, you're next!
Suffice it to say... my laptop still handles CoH well enough to let me play.
