Blizzard has always struck me as one of those rare companies where behind the scenes the people are as good as their products. This story reinforces that belief.

My inner child got his ass kicked by my inner juvenile delinquent...

The cynic in me says that I should saw my own arms off and learn to make models with just my nose and graphics tablet, then Newtek will give me the next version of lightwave, fully plug-inned (that really doesn't work as a word...) and modded up for free.

But regardless, that is quite awesome for a company to do.

I admit im not a fan of WOW its a life sucking pay per month game... And i never liked mmorpgs...

The fact the startrek game is going to be a MMORPG pay per month game sadens me...

But I do like Blizzard. They really do seem like a totaly down to earth company not up there own arses with all sorts of ego trumpting tosh...

This story even if it is wow is a sweet heart warming story. I really hope the kid recovers, and seriously hats off to the guys at blizzard
