Kotaku
I was serious when I asked for more artifacts from your childhoods wasted on games, but only reader Eric answered the call:
I saw the story you posted about Ben's awesome second grade journal and it reminded me of my own journal from when I was 7. I'm sure when you said to send you more stuff like that, you didn't mean _exactly_ like it, but I couldn't resist sharing.I don't envy today's 7 year olds. Back when I was a kid, games were easy to draw. Heck, I'm still proud of that very reasonable facsimile of Lolo. I don't know what I would've done if I had to illustrate "Today I played Splinter Cell," when I was 7.
At least, that was the only email I received. Sometimes stuff gets buried in tips or caught in spamtraps. Keep sending! As I told Eric by way of reply: sometimes it's easy for me to forget, among all the LOL and the "sony sux omg" that there are actual human beings reading Kotaku.
