I recently heard about the incredible awesomeness of Day[9]Daily #100 through some friends and decided to check it out (I just jumped on the bandwagon once SC2 came out so it was before my day). What I saw was more then awesome, it actually changed me as a person, the way I see gaming and other gamers, and the way I live my life.

That being said, something this ethereally rare, needs to be shared with those that you are close to. Inspired by Day9 I decided to ask my mom if she would be willing to watch it, I told her that she would enjoy it and he was a really awesome person. Her reaction surprised me, she didn't just like it, she absolutely loved it, she even cried during it.

The next day she asked me if I could set it up on my computer so she could watch it again, I happily agreed of course, and then she told me that she wanted to write an article about it. My mom has a PH.D. in metaphysics and a Masters Degree in religious studies.... and she wants to write an article about Day[9]? oh my god, this is so freaking awesome.

So I bring to you, my fellow nerds, geeks, and sun-challenged individuals, an article written by my mom.... the day[9] fan.

I hope you all enjoy it, I thought something like this should be shared regardless of my relation to her.

Daily #100 -


Edit: Thanks so much for all the excellent feedback guys I'm so glad that everyone is enjoying it. I've read all of the comments and it's great to see all of your stories as well so keep posting them!

Edit: to cure general curiosity, I'm 18, my mom is 54.

Great article! That's cool that your mom enjoyed it. I'm considering showing my mom now ;p Not sure if she'd watch the entire thing. I definitely got my girlfriend to watch it though and she cried ^^

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

Awesome fucking article. More people need to realize that they should learn from the kids, not the other way around. This world would be 10x (possibly 100x) better of a place.

Day9 #100 is the single Day9 video I tell people to watch when they ask about gaming / pro gaming. It is touching, funny and honest.
