@Bleentastic sees bandwagon and jumps: 子供の名前は、誰が勝利した後、米国の大統領選挙で、そしておめでとう
Translates to: "The baby's name, after somebody wins, in the American Presidential election, and also congratulations."
Man, Google still sucks at that.
Congrats Bash. You hoping for a boy or a girl this time? And are you gonna let us loyal Kotaku readers vote on the name or not this time around.

Congratulations! What's the new one gonna be called in your posts, though? Mini-Mini-Bash? Or would that imply that the new child is Mini-Bash's kid? Because that would be getting awfully Freudian, and you'd probably be wise to start taking precautions against Mini-Bash killing you in your sleep.

Bash,
I was pretty intimidated to learn that my wife was prego for a second time -- I thought it was going to be a ton more work. In reality, the workload is more like 1.5 kids since you're already in the flow. It's still more work for sure, but the rewards easily outpace the .5 increase. Congratulations!

@invictus2006: You get to play games by marring someone that loves you and does not want you to change. Someone that likes to spend time with you but also appreciates time alone to herself and her own hobbies and because of this knows that you like the time away to yourself as well. So basically you marry a well adjusted adult.
Oh and if you are lucky like me, you marry someone that likes to play games (video, board, and card) with you.

There's a fantastic pun to be made with the name Bash and a new kid, alas, were I make make it, Witzbold would no doubt descend with a great smiting.
Anyway, great news, the world needs more gamers to have kids.
Congratulations to you and your family.

@Bashcraft: Congrats! So will the new one be called Micro-Bash or Baby-Bash? ;-)
@invictus2006: Hmm... I think after you get your kids, you then downgrade from being a "hardcore gamer" to just a "gamer". And you then start to prefer shorter games and pick-up-n-play games.

Nah, I kid. Congrats on the new kid. And I wish you luck. Hope Mini-Bash takes as well to his new brother/sister as his initial reaction. It's weird, since I always read these Night Notes, it feels like I'm gaining a cousin or something. XD
Anyway. Yeah. Congrats. I'm sure Mrs. Bashcraft will get that lovely maternal glow sometime soon and I hope it's a daughter this time. Gotta keep it a balanced game, no?
