A co-worker of mine sent me this link.
Gary Gygax, the creator of Dungeons & Dragons, who I owe the happiness of my late high school/college years to, is dead.
It is a sad day, I can safely say that that game taught me what it means to have friends, to be on a team, to work towards a goal. When you play video games, you’re just playing with your friends. But when you’re playing D&D, you’re working towards a goal. You need to have intelligence and charisma, you need to work together.
I guess it’s the same comradery that can be gained through being on a football team, the same reason why hitting that home run can be a great feeling. It’s because when you’re working together, you can accomplish something greater than yourself.
In your career, and your life… I guess that’s what it’s all about.
Goodbye Gary.
We’ll miss you.
Zel-kun out.

Good post. I keep thinking I should do one, but it seems like everyone has already said what I have to say.

Me too…
So, when are you guys coming over to Vegas? We could totally hang. I mean, not like you’re going to be closer anytime soon, wha?
