In Response To: One year ago... (Miguel Chavez)

: A year ago I saw first-hand the cruelty people can do and lost some old high
: school friends. Afterwards, I was both thankful and hesitant about my
: fondness for games like Halo and Myth. I liked it for the escape, but it
: touched a raw nerve having to 'kill' so many people. After a few days of
: constant media replay of the tragedy, I lost my hesitation and was
: appreciative of an easy method of 'escape' from the harsh realities of
: this world. Don't get me wrong, I don't live with my head buried in the
: sand, but I do embrace the need for release. When Halo finally hit the
: shelves, it was such a pleasure for me and my son to get completely
: embroiled in the game.

: I'm both thankful for the quality of games out there made by companies as
: excellent as Bungie and for the communities, like here at HBO, that thrive
: around said games. It's a testament to the 'good side' of the human spirit
: that we can all come here like a 'neighborhood bar' and chat about the
: stuff we all have a common interest in, even if only a handful of us have
: ever met face-to-face.

: I'm thankful for those of you here at the forum that have made me laugh, and
: made me ponder things, and even the ones who momentarily got me upset,
: because at least you *exist* to make me upset, and the same can't be said
: of about 3000 or so people who perished a year ago.

: I even thank you lurkers, who have never posted, or maybe just did once or
: twice. When I note how many 'eyes' have seen certain threads, I know it's
: not a waste to contribute to this forum, even if a thread doesn't 'take
: off' as one might expect.

: This post is not an invitation for a lengthy political, religious, or
: whatever type of thread (so please respect my wishes and don't let it turn
: into one), I just want to *virtually* shake all of your hands and say
: "Thanks."

: Here's to more games, friendship (both "real" and online), and
: killing evil aliens that for some reason think my planet is better off
: dead. Never, you dickless SOBs.

: "All you need is love."

: - Miguel
well said...God bless america
