Can you believe it? I mean... really... think about it. A decade ago on July the 11th we started the group which is LaG on IRC and started teaching the world to use teleporters and shock rifles to solve their differences. Each year I spend a little time reflecting on the events within LaG for the past year. The events that happen within LaG that I generally note in these articles revolve around personnel changes, game changes, team changes, etc. These things are all covered in their respective areas and at the time of occurrence. A lot of times the events I list are divisive, some are productive and sometimes they are even forward looking. This year, however, I've decided to do something a little different. Part of us playing games together, probably the most important part, is the social aspect. We like each other. We associate with each other, we suffer gain and loss with each other. Many times we experience shared emotions regarding world events that affect us all. These, for better or worse, are the most rewarding times we experience because it's a time when we unite under the banner of an event and put aside whatever differences we have. So for this year I decided to review the events of last 10 years that we have discussed, joked about, debated and flat out argued about. So take a moment and reflect on what has happened in the last 10 years, then take a moment to appreciate the fact that there is always a friendly LaG member online that you can hang out with in your chosen game or channel. 1999 - 2000 - 2001 - 2002 - 2003 - 2004 - 2005 - 2006 - 2007 - 2008 - 2009
