Damn it Alf, now I can get my brother to stop playing shitty MMO's.

This is wonderful news!

Well now you've got my attention, lol. Always thought the game looked interesting, but I didn't want to add yet another subscription vampire to my bank account.

NOW that's interesting.

It's TL;RA in my case.

Looks like a neat present I just hope Funcom isn't ploting something, or going to end it soon.

Your inbox is full.

Also, any idea what the opt-in lady is saying? It sounds like spanish, but that might just be me.

Spoiler:

Who's Msika, and where did you get your info? Did you do the pre-game puzzle?

Also if you don't mind me asking, are you going to update your stories anytime soon?

I'll try to work on them if I can. THings have been rather busy as of late...

Yeah, LoTRO went F2P - and now is earning 3x more than they ever did as pay to play.

They changed it to F2P for about 2 years or so if I remember correctly.

Since then, they've been raking in Cash like a fat piggy bank

Last time I checked (Well, more like, last time my friend tried to make me play it), LoTRO was not F2P (it was maybe 4-5 years ago), did that change or something?

@Elf Yeah, well, its a worthwhile cause - and those hospitals do a lot a good for children in the community.

@Chaos Indeed, though you know, games have also been used for a lot of other healthcare things. Aside from physical therapy, there's also exposure therapy (for phobias), online learning and such for those with autism/Asperger's (part of something I worked on with the University of Texas), education about disability, for training and diagnostic tools, and even for treating depression.

After all, games have been around since the days of the earliest civilizations - whether in the form of playground games, sports, wargames, social games, or contests of skill or strength, games offered "safe" mechanisms by which conflict could be mediated, behaviors encouraged with rewards/penalties, and interactions with others practiced in situations with clear boundaries and expectation. This ancestral role of games - with their interactive elements - in the development of community and culture may well explain their persistence in the modern day, as well as why video games - what we call "interactive multimedia" have proven so engaging, since they tap into a human predisposition to gaming. And so why not use it for healthcare?

I'd help, but... I only wish such a campaign would be done in my hometown. Let's see Mr. Thompson fight that!

This is very admirable dude, excellent work.

I've done stuff and made donations to the Children's Miracle Network in my area as well.

Good luck, and people, donate.

My father wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for the beginnings of this program.

Animated Mana! Hurray!

Though I kind of want to see adult Shiki though....

Well it should be done by Ufotable since they bought the right to do Kara no Kyoukai...so it's most likely.

I've been trying to convince Alf that we should write up a project we thought of over a year ago...

Time for Mana to be a star.

Just hope she doesn't become like the Home Alone kid.

Yeah Alf, when?

/hypocrite

Alf, how long until you get back into writing fanfic because of this?
