With a damp tissue...

I sit here thinking about my internet usage and what I pay for. We have a cable bill, netflix Pandora and Glitch as our four main internet subscriptions. At my place cable is used solely for the internet - we don't get any channels I could name. We watch stuff on Netflix, my wife more than me :D. I play a lot of Glitch.

As for percentage of internet usage, for things that are free time (and not needed for business-y stuff), Glitch makes up probably 85% or more of that number for me.

So I'm not taking this too well, even though I feel kinda stupid for it :D.

This has easily been my favorite game of the last ten years, if not possibly forever. This is almost entirely because of the intersection of doing things with people and participating in building the world. Even when things didn't work right, or weren't exactly what I would have liked, it was still an awesome time. I never got really far up the levelling ladder or obtained many badges because the joy of designing random pranks and jokes to play on the people I'd meet here was much more fun. I can't think of a game that could take Glitch's place for me.

I have no idea how the community here was as excellent as it was - I rarely had a bad experience, and even when I encountered a very rare player who put me off, I could laugh about it with friends.

For me, this is feeling a lot like having a whole bunch of great friends having to move away, and that's probably why it's making me miserable. I'm laughing and crying as I write this, crying cause I'm sad and laughing  at my own sillyness :D.

Anyhow, mostly I just wanted to say how awesome it's been to play with all of you, and well, I think I needed to say it out loud, so I can start to adjust :D. Thanks for a very excellent time!
