A Year in MINIons- MINIon #2600

2600I apologize for this late post, but as a public school teacher we have started “Testing Season” (Yes, it is an actual thing in the education world- it makes me very sad) so I’m sorry that the usual 5:00 Eastern post was skipped.

I should also be sorry since I’ve had a glass (or more) of wine before posting this… please excuse any typos.

So MINIon 2600- what should I say?  (Yes, MINIon #2600 should cringe a bit about this post).  After a bumpy first meeting MINIon #2600 became a close friend- to the point that I was Best Man in his wedding.  So yes, while I din’t have a lot of long term friends- MINIon #2600 is one of them.  He is  a true geek, knowing more about gaming than I will ever know.  Am I jealous?  not really, after years I know that every geek has their passion.  It has been nice to see MINIon #2600 at GenCon each year, or at least knowing he was in town.  the hardest part about this MINIon was dealing with a MINIon who has known me longer than anyone else and therefore, pushed me to the point where I finally had to say- “enough” I’m not going to create the MINIon badge you want, or I want want. At least his wife liked hers.

MINIon #2600 had the most changes to it- starting to try to the MINIon to look like an 8-bit video character and ending up with a MINIon playing the same game system I played – the Atari 2600.  Yes, I played the games, but my brother was much better that I ever was- hence I stopped playing video games.
