They are watching their minds as they play, and discriminating true from false at a very high level.


Busted. Your mom is Tastosis.

But in all seriousness, that article was great, it elicited all the same emotions the actual day9 100 did, and despite the sad parts of the story, still ended up with me having a smile

nice article. I would probably stop being lazy too if I had the freedom to choose what to do rather than feeling forced to go to school and get good grades

wow awesome article. my mother had a similar moment with me and music, she had only ever heard me messing about in my bedroom with my guitar. I always talked about doing it for a living and my mum would shoot me down.... then she came to see me play with my band, and suddenly realised that i wasn't wasting my time..... we still don't get along, but atleast she accepts that music is what i'm supposed to do, despite any other faults she might see me as having.

When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

Ahh you're right, sorry I'll post it there.

I don't get why you opened this twice, and neither of them is in Blogs.

That was a nice article but maybe you should tell your mom to put up a link to the 100th ep so people can go check it out easier.

Fantastic article, thanks for posting. Also no reason to worry about the first paragraph considering the theme of the whole article, coming from someone who does not believe in god.

i too showed it to my mom, over the summer. day9 completely changed her perception of gamers. she had been trained by the media to think that video games were evil and lazy and sloppy and that everyone who plays them is evil and that gaming is as waste of time.

she was reluctant at first, but after the first 20 minutes she was so hooked that she watched the entire two hours with her eyes completely glued to the screen. she couldn't believe that such a touching, heartfelt story was coming from the likes of a gamer.

completely changed her perception of gamers and games. she thinks the starcraft community is a really wonderful thing now. just the other day i sent her an email about the day9 donation drive to show her how many other people love day9, and she told me that she donated 10 dollars after reading it.

Maybe the next generation of gamers will have parents who accept gaming but if I showed this to my 50yo mother she would get bored about 30 secs in and call it stupid.
