They broke the Heek table.

I'm not much of one for sentiment about games. They're just games...

I didn't play waht people call "Live". I had ten wonderful months playing online with an exceptional group of beta testers. We laughed, played, and explore, together, through bugs and lag and broken puzzles.

And we played Heek, a rather silly variant of Rock-Scissors-Paper.

I find incredible symbolism in the crushed Heek table in Bevin. One graphic change represents what we lost when Live was done.

I'm a big ol' boy, but that catch in my throat was undeniable.

Godspeed, everyone. Even if we are alone, we are together.

I feel myself starting to cry... All my friends and I really love heek...
But what I think would be awesoem, is if they put up a games section of the website where you could play heek with other people.
Just a thought, though

If your idea of fast food is hitting a deer at 60mph, you might be a redneck.

CC I had the same sort of reaction when I saw the broken Heek table, and I didn't even play Heek. I was lousy at it. But seeing that table laying there broken was just so hard...so symbolic. I cried, I'll admit it.

I would rather they just not have had anything left there than to see that poor broken table with it's display still trying to work.

I was gone all day, got home late, got the XP downloaded late and installed late so I'm still working my way through trying to see what is new and how to get there. I wanted to drop in and see what others were thinking about it so far. And was drawn to A Momentary Tear. It's good to know I'm not alone in my tears.

Another thing that really broke me in... Was the imager. All the pictures that were posted up during the going-away party were still flickering faintly... And the logs of who came were still up. I started bawling my eyes out at that, and so at dinner I had to explain to everyone what was wrong.

I laughed at the beach ball, though =P

Also, I made an aawesome, but depressing wallpaper out of the heek table... If you're interested, let me know like this:

Same reaction here, CC. I was soooooo excited to see Eddie and then I ran down the stairs and couldn't believe what happened to the Heek table. Couldn't it have been turned into Heek solitaire?

Or .... some kinda solitaire game?

And, frankly, it looks rather out of place, radically destroyed, when the rest of the neighborhood looks just fine. It's like some vengefull Heek looser came in with a jack hammer and took his rage out on the poor table.

Well, I have to say I've wanted to do that to a Heek table once or twice... but it wasn't me, I swear!

Yeah, I was kinda hoping they'd consider a puzzle with it. You wouldn't need to do much - a simple game against 1 or more AI (of low IQ) and voila!

First thing I did (oddly enough) was take a picture. Is that odd or what?

I took a pic of it too... Granted it was from the walkway above and I was really going for the water garden with all the lights on, but decided to add the broken thing in the shot as well...

Quite sad really. Didn't have to break it, just make it not playable... Too many broken things...

I think it was the imager that got me all depressed. I was sitting in front of that thing for a long loong time just trying to remember what it was like. Lately, I've been going to the archived forums and reading through all the old stuff that used to be posted. I can't stay there for more than five minutes.
