Dear Lan Gaming Machine,

I’ve been thinking about our relationship recently and well, not to beleaguer the point, but the time has come for us to break up. You have been a good and faithful machine for a many years. You’ve slaughtered some Zombies, Slaughtered some Axes soldiers, repelled the zombies on my lawns, and streamed a bit of video. For this I am thankful. But it’s time we broke up. You see, I just don’t see me LAN gaming anymore. The primary thrower of LAN parties has moved to Dallas and far from here. I simply cannot see me packing you up–even though I built you to be compact and portable–for a mere few hours of gaming fun. Besides, it’s been many a year since I first built you and your only upgrade has been a video card, a card I could put to good use on the 24/7 server instead of a twice a year fun box.

Think of yourself as an organ donor. You innards will be out to good use. You will be giving back to the environment that made you.

Farewell, my small, dusty friend.

Goodbye, L33t-G4m3r, you will be missed.
