Interesting Gamasutra article about D&D thievery

Not on stealing things in D&D, but on stealing things from D&D...especially in the new 4.0 version.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness

I can't remember when exactly I finished this, but I remember I was trying to finish it so I could play something else.
Sadly I bought it just before our wedding and wound up playing it now and then at Pt Reyes on the honeymoon.
I named my partner Pokemon that was with me for much of the game - "PokeDave". This was very touching at various points, as PokeDave told me how much he needed me to keep going, and so on.
The storyline of the game itself actually wasn't too bad, and I was having fun capturing pokemon and naming them after people -- there was also a Birk, and a Jim, etc.
After finishing all of Pokemon Diamond, it was nice to use all this random knowledge for something.
it's kind of like playing multiple Dragon Quest games and not having to learn about all the enemies again. But I guess this kind of knowledge for someone who's 34, is a little bit odd.
