There should be a law! When you meet someone who has
an identical twin, they should have to tell you so! I was at GamesCon in Toronto this
weekend, ...a very very cool gaming event, ...but we'll get to THAT later. Anyhow, the
fest was organized by Mark Chandler.
I arrived late Frinight and after checking in to the
hotel, headed straight for the bar. I had to taste authentic Canadian beer, ...you know.
Anyhow, I spent a good 3 hours partying with Mark and an assortment of fellow gamers. One
of the conversations was about how we have all met just enough people to start forgetting
names and faces when we are re-introduced to people at these sort of events. The ended
well.
The next morning, I arose early and had a great
room-service breakfast before heading down to check on the day's events. Walking down the
hallway, I met Mark. Except when I said "Hey, Mark!", the dude looked at me
funny and said "I'm not Mark!".
Panic attacked and I got flustered. I hate not
remembering people, fearing the insult it may incur. The dude looked just like Mark,
though! We chatted for about 5 minutes and then split our ways.
It wasn't until later that day that I found out that Mark
has an identical twin Glen, ....bastards! They will pay for that, they will pay ;)
The GamesCon event itself was awesome and is highly
recommended (rumors have it that there may be another one later this year). It was like a
QuakeCon and E3 all wrapped into one. Very well organized, too.
On the news wire... ...I recently posted an small snippet
on 3DGaming.net about all the gamer bashing that occurred this year.

...and guess who sent the most emails related to the
article? You bet, the bashers ;) Seems turn about is NOT in fact fair play. Oh well...
Seriously, for those wondering why the piece was written
so late, I was busy with SiN and only now can find the time to write about frivolous
things. The motive? As I said, I love the abuse and welcome more. Actually, I understand
more has already been posted in places(?) The motive, though, was more for the
side-effects and innocent by-standers that get hurt with this shit.
Did I "lower" myself to their realms? Yes,
...yes indeed ;)
