    Death of gamers leave online lives in limbo

    I found this an interesting article, because I have thought this myself. Who would tell all of my online friends, if anything ever happened to me.

    Death of gamers
    Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine.

    That story is incredibly sad.
    Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

    I've thought about this a lot, too. Though I have RL friends I am close with, my closest friends are people I've met through Threshold. My sister, thankfully, has Facebook/Myspace friended several of them, so I'm sure she would pass along any pertinent or tragic information.

    One time I started thinking about this sort of thing. I started out with a serious document about "if I should die, please do blah and blah, pass on these files to Threshers somewhere, notify people, etc"... unfortunately it ended up being a jocular blog post. Probably would be worth doing the serious document some time.
