I came to the realization today (while arguing with a friend about the fallacy that games require a certain ammount of hours in order to make the game worth the price/good.) that I was truly a Gamer, and you guys are the reason i am.

Before now I'd always enjoyed video games, and I played more than the average person does, but I'd just thought on the consumer side of things. How i interacted with games and such. From listening to the Bombcast I've become far more aware of the forces at work in large studios, small studios, and even individual game creators like Jonathan Blow. I've come to care a great deal about which games get attention both from my wallet and from my friends and aquatints. I've bought games I would have passed on before, and thoroughly loved every second I played of them. I can only trace this back to the Bombcast and you all widening my gaming worldview.

Thanks again so much for some of the best time spent listening to you fine chaps.
