LFTE: Follow Up (Feb 12) Warning: Owain Is So Awesome He Will Crush Your Soul
Just yesterday I was contacted by Matthew Lee Johnston of PopCap who was gracious enough to thank me for my interest in the story of Owain Weinert and Allied Star Police. If you didn't read my Letter from the Editor in the February issue, I highly recommend you check it out, as I declared Owain and PopCap's touching tale to be the best of 2011.
Besides his sincere thank you, he also included this YouTube video of the Make-A-Wish keynote the two gave back in October. I seriously have so much respect and admiration for this kid. He is my hero, and gives me faith in the world where sometimes I think people couldn't be worse. I thought I would share.
Warning: This video is extremely touching and just shows that someone needs to make this into a major motion picture as any movie theater that ran it would not have a dry eye in the house.
Once again, major kudos to PopCap, Matthew, and Owain (and you can grab a link to the game on my letter).
Cheers
Andy
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
