I find, that in this sea of garbage and mediocrity that has consumed our once proud Nerd-culture, it is always when my hope has all but faded that I realize we are not without a few small pieces of purity. Sure I could wish for a return to simpler times, I could live in the old days of pre-airblasting TF2, the days before WOW was shit, the days before fps gamers hated each other over which shooters they played. But if I did, that would also mean giving up Cthulu Saves the World, it would mean never discovering Valkyria Chronicles, it would mean not having my heart warmed by Katawa Shoujo. And this, my friends, is not a trade I am willing to make.
