Two hobbies. One grew up. The other, well, grew up.

But you know, it’s funny because I’ve seen you doing a lot of things lately that I taught you. You’re putting SETTLERS and CARCASSONNE up on Xbox Live. A lot of those popular puzzle games aren’t too far removed from abstract board games. And all those fancy Japanese strategy role-playing games like DISGAEA and ADVANCE WARS are pretty much electronic board games. I don’t feel like you’re really giving me much credit for those. Not like you used to.

But ‘scool. We’re kind of doing our own thing now. There’s a bunch of people that still dig me and there’s a lot of really awesome stuff I’m doing these days, even if I’m not getting the kind of attention you do. I still do some stuff that you can’t. All those pretty girls can’t actually touch you—boo ya! Granted, I’m usually handled by a bunch of man-children with sausage-like fingers more often than lovely ladies…
Anyway, I just wanted to say “hi”, and “I’m still here”. If you ever want to hook up, give me a buzz. Maybe we can meet up on the iPhone or DS sometime. I know that you’re still kind of sore about that awful HALO board game and all I can say in my defense is the Krusty the Clown response- “they had a dumptruck full of money”.
