The Reason TWHL Will Never Die

Posted 13 years ago2010-09-18 21:24:09 UTC
Penguinboy PenguinboyHaha, I died again!
I logged into TWHL to find a wonderful surprise in my inbox from an anonymous poster. I hope he doesn't mind if I share his comments with you all:

Hey Penguinboy,

I just wanted to say thanks for keeping this site going. It's always been a really great resource for me and definitely got me started in my passion for games technology and software in general. I now help lead a game design group at UT Austin and I feel I owe a lot of that to this site and its leaders past and present. Thanks for the quality work!

-Joe


Dunno about you folks, but this kind of stuff makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. This is why I (and possibly other admins) feel so strongly about keeping TWHL and it's valuable resources and community alive.

Because Joe didn't leave a reply email, I'd just like to say: Thank you, Joe. I'm glad TWHL has helped you, and I hope that we can continue to help people like you for the foreseeable future!

Time for a group hug!

Oh, and the results are up.

Gosh I feel the same way. I don't lead a game design group though, so who the hell wants to hear about it?

I'll bet you enjoyed the summer in Austin, Joe. I was down there for a while and I was swimming in a swamp the whole time.

@Ant: "I owe a lot of that to this site and its leaders past and present." - Joe

Well, it wouldn't be TWHL without the Steam related game loving community.

Just thought I'd chime in and say that I also appreciate this site. Gotten great help for questions in the past, and still love browsing the site and forums.

May GoldSource and Half-Life live long and still prosper!

I'm sorry to tell you this, but you have warmth-inside-cancer. You only have a couple of days left.
