too bad. You guys missed out on a great time.

Comraderie, even in the form of a computer game, is a great thing.

I logged on today, absolutely not wanting to get into a fight, and I took of from a base far away from the enemy. During flight I talked to some people who were doing just the same thing. When I started feeling better from the things other people said, a bandit had snug up on my six and gunned me down, me not having a chance. The symbolism struck me.

Fly and even engage in AH if you want to. I hope no one looks badly on anyone that chooses to. We all deal with tragedies in our own ways. Some can accept and move on faster than others, and some just can lose themselves in games, regardless of the symbolism involved.

Personally, I didn't feel like playing any games yesterday, I just popped in some anime and lost myself in that after listening to Bush speak last night. As soon as the anime was over, the thoughts of the day's events overwhelmed me again. It was good to escape it for 90 minutes or so...

AH is a game.Games let you escape from reality for an hour or two. There's no shame in playing a game to take a break from the worlds events.

Everyone has their own individual way of escaping whats going on around them for awhile. I guess if I didn't have my family, I'd be on more often these last two days. For me its extra walks these last two days with my boys out in the woods talking about everything from grasshoppers to race cars.

oh brother....it's a silly video game!

enough with the weepy symbolism - real things are gonna come to those who did this and then we will have real justice.

not playing a video game is hardly a fitting tribute to the loss of our citizens. living, with resolve in your heart, no matter what you're doing, is.

grieving is expected but i'm not going to stop living - that just makes the bastards winners.
