This post isn’t related to writing or storytelling, nor is a "tidbit" about me. Please forgive. :)
I just wanted to say that I have finally entered the world of online gaming. I know, it seems like I would have jumped in a long time ago. However, I play video games much less frequently than I used to and when I do they are not on a computer but a gaming console. And I am a Nintendo guy [one word: Zelda] so I haven’t had much exposure to online games. But last night I gave it a whirl with Mario Kart Wii. A very strange yet satisfying experience. Not that I expected differently, but as Nintendo does not have a “headset” for chatting yet, it played the same as if I merely played against the game’s AI. It occurred to me that there might not actually be anyone there. I don’t believe that of course. Until I am connected to a friend such as Doc Holiday it will just have to be very similar to regular play with the bizarre twist of shooting red shells at someone I don’t even know.
Just in case you play Mario Kart Wii and are curious if you’re playing against me:

It's funny that you like Zelda when Link is dressed up a bit like Peter Pan, lol. Which came first for you, Link or Peter Pan?
Well, given that I'm nearly 37...I have been playing Zelda since the original. But I also played at being Peter Pan as a little tyke, too. So...Pan, of course. And yes, there is a definite similarity between Link and Pan. But then, it's mostly only due to Disney's version's outfit. He doesn't actually dress that way in the book. ;)
