[QUOTE="Henry, post: 501168, member: 158"] Joshua, I think the lesson to be gained from Doc's sharing of his experience is that sometimes a change of pace can do a person good. (God, do I sound like a psychiatrist! :)) Sometimes, fault is not found in a thing itself, but our perceptions and assumptions that are tied up in our interactions with that thing. What Doc is talking about is sheer nostalgia - grabbing the "early teens" bull by the horns, and recahrging yourself with a blast from the past! The same way you meet an old friend and talk with them for a few hours, reminiscing about old times, and suddenly realizing that it just made you feel better about your whole day; or, pulling out the old high school yearbooks, and it sparking memories of old times; or in this case, taking yourself back to the adolescent years of gaming all night, and pulling wacky stuff in a game that you are normally too "serious" to do otherwise! I think that all of this can technically be had with 3E, but sometimes one is too close to the forest to see the trees, and taking a step back can make us realize why we love the whole forest in the first place, not just one particular tree. Correct me if I'm off base, Doc. [/QUOTE]
