Interesting Article in Detriot Free Press

[WizarDru]

The Detroit Free-Press has a pretty well-written article concerning LARPers and gaming in general that's not only balanced but a good read. Plus it features quotes from our very own Dr. Awkward of The Escapist .

Wow. I'm impressed because of the whopping five minutes of research this must've taken, which is a far cry superior to the treatment we usually recieve. Very nice.

Dr. Awkward is one of my Heroes. He took a pipe wrench for all of us.

Very good article. I was amazed to see them use the word 'pussies', but this is the Metro Times, not the Detroit News.

Couple of errors
SCA is not "a worldwide organization that focuses on painstakingly exact historical re-enactments of medieval battles"

And I seriously seriously doubt the line about “I remember taking one swing, and then waking up in the hospital looking at my 10-gauge helmet that they had to cut off.”

I don't. Anyone who has played contact sports (especially football and hockey) knows that no matter how much protection you have, getting hit with just the right about of force at just the right angle can KO anyone.
