hey Stof, thanks so much for sharing. Often on the internet people put up such fake/tough personas that it's so great to see someone put their guard down and post something that truly means a lot to them. My uncle, who was one of the greatest people I have ever know, recently died of brain cancer and it was very hard on our whole family. I can't even imagine what strength it takes to go through this with your own father. Honestly, you and your mom sound like very strong people. Thanks so much for sharing your story.
Gaming to me has always been more of a social thing, a means to an end. The end for me is to connect with people so I primarily stick to party games. The Wii was made to exploit an opening in the market, a purely business decision, but I still love how personal an experience it can become. My brother is disabled and has been playing video games his whole life, but harder games frustrate him so it's so fun to play something like Wii Sports where we are basically on a level playing field and we can both enjoy it. I hope that you can take this positive experience and look back on it when times get tough. I wish you all the best, you sound like you deserve it.
