That f*cking sucks.  I know a couple of guys that actually won an opportunity to game with him, at Milwaukees old Game Fest Convention.  f*ck dude, that really sucks.  The same day as Favre retires too-

 shits bad for Wisconsinites right now.

I met Gary a couple times at the Gencon Auction halls too..

Truly a Sad day...................

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
