The Apologies Page

I had to take 4 weeks off because I realized how frazzled I was, partially due to me not being able to communicate with Ed, like, at all. Now I think I probably should put off Exemplars for a while until I can regain my life. So, everyone, Im sorry.

I need to apologize to Ben too.

That should be all for now. The rest of the page is for you guys. Feel free to kick me.

Throw Harder Objects Here

--Matts 21:22, 2 April 2007 (MST)Jason, I honestly think you're being too hard on yourself. I personally think that this process we go through, though it seems interminable and draining, results in a better understanding of gaming and fun, whether consciously or not. Personally, I don't think any argument that contains a refusal to contrast new ideas with our current ideas, or a refusal to examine our motives or methods, can be successfully leveled.

I know you probably think of yourself as an instigator, and that you've done nothing but caused everyone a headache, but honestly, all this talk has spurred me to do more serious thinking about games and the nature of play, and on top of that I still have fun when I game.

It's unfortunate that our passion often outweighs our logic (at least for you, me and ben) in these discussions, because with a little more discipline and clinical detachment these discussions would be majority positive instead of such a tumultuous mixed bag.
