LARP'ing Memories...

I have confession to make: I used to be a LARP'er. That is, A Live Action RolePlayer...basically someone who goes into the woods on a weekend to be an elf or orc, and more importantly, to wail on other players with boffer weapons. You've never really live until you've come home with your body all bruised and banged up from being pounded up with foam-wrapped PVC pipe swords. The aches are badges of honor, and your lie down in your bed knowing that you have faced a worthy foe (usually IT professionals in the real world, at least in the circles I played in) in rightteous and honorable combat....

Anyway, eventually things like school, work, and an aching back put an end to that. Sometimes though, when memory lane sings it's call, I take a look at the trailer for DARKON, and and then sit back to remember a simpler time, when living in the imagination was a reality, at least for a weekend.

Here's the link. Enjoy.
