Read. Play. Repeat.
It's a way of life for those of us geeks, nerds, fanboys and
girls, enthusiasts, and hobbyists. It's what we live for. The
latest release from our favorite author, a new storyline for our
favorite comic book character, the newest episode of our favorite
anime series, attempting to save and/or revive our favorite
shows/books because they didn't make enough money for the big
networks or publishers, getting that new board game that you've
been dying to play, the thrill and anticipation of the newest
expansion to your most beloved game, being able to get your best
friends to all come over and spend hours upon hours conversing
and enjoying each other's company whether rolling dice or
roleplaying.

It's what we live for. It's what defines us. It's who we are.
Kojima Productions's mission statement is something we can
greatly identify with. They state:
"We are Homo Ludens (Those who play)
From the moment we enter this world,
we instinctively invent ways to have “fun,”
and share those inventions with those around us.
We’re not asked to do this,
nor we do need reasons to create. It is simply who we are.
We find one another and compete with one another.
We laugh together and cry together; all while playing
together.
Our experiences bind us and liberate us.
To share our most valuable experiences, we create stories, invent
tools, and evolve the art of play.
Play has been our ally since the dawn of civilization.
“Playing” is not simply a pastime.
It’s the primordial basis of imagination and creation.
Truth be told, Homo Ludens (Those who play)
are simultaneously Homo Faber (Those who create).
Even if the earth were stripped
of life and reduced to a barren wasteland, our imagination and
desire
to create would survive – beyond survival,
it would provide hope that flowers may one day bloom again.
Through the invention of play, our new evolution awaits."
We live this principle every day of our lives and we are proud of
it.
