As I sit here on the verge of tears, having just got back from DragonCon,
I know Steve would be kicking my arse for being gushy, but I can't help it.
I'll paraphrase Tolkien here: When his best friend C.S. Lewis passed away,
someone asked him how he felt, and as far as I can recall, he stated..
"As I get older, I feel like an old tree, with the occaisional twinge as leaves
fall and limbs drop, but this..
This feels like an axe-blow at the roots."
I miss him terribly already. I feel that the world is a dimmer, less magical place
without the little guy and his own particular brand of chaos.
I remember with great fondness the few times I was able to play City of Heroes
with him (before the Euro servers).
Steve's character rushes in and gets well and truly pasted, and laughs it off
on the way to the hospital, only to do that same thing again!
"Jesus Christ Steve! *rolls eyes*
Steve just laughs and does it again. His Diablo sessions were lessons in chaos.
"Hey, Where's Darkfox?"
**Darkfox has be killed by barrel
**Darkfox has been killed by Skeleton Archer
**Darkfox has been killed by Skeleton Mage
**DarkFox has been killed by barrel
Usually in the span of 5 minutes, but he'd keep charging in there. I think that's how
he lived his life.
"Sod this being miserable because I blew that task. I'm going to have fun anyways!"
I don't know what else to say, other than to express my most sincere condolences
to his family. You are all in my thoughts.
