h2k, the former TLR lineup dropped trow and laid a steaming pile on both TLR organisation and remy. I interviewed remy to find out his point of view on this heinous adventure.

I got a phone call this evening, it was my mum.   She told me that my Aunt Eileen has been diagnosed with lung cancer, which has already spread to her liver.  They’ve told her that she’ll be lucky to see this Christmas.  Those that know me well will already know what an epic fail this year has been for my family.  Amongst many other things that I won’t go into, I also lost my nana earlier this year.

How is this related to gaming?  Well, it isn’t, not directly.  It’s just amusing to me, in a dark and morbid way, how so much effort and energy is expended on such negativity in this scene.  As you get older one of the things you come to realise of life is that it is unfair, but you learn to deal with it (or you don’t and go the way of Kurt Cobain).  No one comes out of it alive and nothing is more certain that your own mortality.  So when I see two supposed pillars of the community arguing in public like children on a playground about what amounts to no more than a bit of petty name-calling and finger-pointing, it makes me sad.  It makes me sad primarily because I want to see e-sports, and in particular the Counter-Strike Source scene, do well – and I wonder how the hell we are supposed to move forward in a positive and progressive way as a community when people prominent in the scene can quickly descend to such insignificant nonsense.
