Unfortunately, many people's bad experiences with gamers (*cough* ex-boyfriends) ruins some of the fun for the ones not playing games to avoid something.Travis Megillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951124359715088532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-71879468785103950662008-09-22T16:22:00.000-07:002008-09-22T16:22:00.000-07:00@iroquois pliskin: Funny -- I skewed the in-joke a...@iroquois pliskin: Funny -- I skewed the in-joke all kinds of crazy ways based on the photo and your female pronoun use.

It's the trade-off for just keeping "man" in expressions like "the descent of man" and whatnot, which I refuse to abandon. <BR/><BR/>@humingway and matthew: thanks for pointing out the editing snafus. the final product was the result of a gmail back-and-forth, which created some proofreading problems.<BR/><BR/>Also, I heard you on the brainy gamer podcast matt, it was pretty cool.

However, you do also quite often use the female pronoun, so I suppose I could see why the confusion.Denis Farrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259847318143495864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-68882812360771226562008-09-19T08:43:00.000-07:002008-09-19T08:43:00.000-07:00Come on, "Savid"!
