I knew we were "of the same era" but I didn't realize we were this close, as I am all of 5 days ahead of you in the Great Chrono Race. <br /><br /><br />I'm partially onboard with the "age is a state of mind" crowd" so I figure as long as we are talking comic books and star wars there's a part of us that will never get past 8 years old. <br /><br />I also like the miniature gamers' law that you cannot die until you've painted all of your figures, and looking at my garage I've taken steps to ensure that's a long ways off.<br /><br />Finding something interesting to do for the birthday can help too. I didn't do much this year but for my 40th I had a bunch of friends meet up at a retro-arcade for pizza and videogames. Then a few weeks later I married a younger woman and picked up a couple more kids. More kids = more reasons to watch Godzilla movies and walk down the toy aisle. <br /><br />A buddy of mine is running an all-weekend D&D marathon next weekend for his birthday and there are about 8 of us signed up for it. <br /><br />Anyway, happy day-late birthday and remember - that number will be higher next year. Hopefully. And if we all end up someday as brains-in-jars plugged into a virtual reality network I will happily play in your Champions & Masterminds 2100 game.Blacksteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289298640828309072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-21327750532329198912011-02-13T09:45:39.409-05:002011-02-13T09:45:39.409-05:00I'm moved guys.

Think of it as a head start on future generations of gamers! :-)) It's a unique event, no-one else has been you for this long.(And assumably never will, save or perhaps brainjacking! :-)) All that specific knowledge and experience contributes to the ongoing human dialogue. To cite just this one example off the top of my head: my musings on games lately wouldn't be the same without your recent blog posts! May there be many more 'happy birthdays'!<br />Enjoy!velaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689908090884198784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-30299618636588988482011-02-12T23:05:40.511-05:002011-02-12T23:05:40.511-05:0042???
