Happy 10 Years! This is me saying thank you for dealing with my idiosyncrasies. My video-game obsessed posts, my overly polite Canadian need to apologize. I want to say thank you to all the moderators, developers, members, lurkers, friends & acquaintances, the entire community. You make living online worthwhile. This place truly is 'Best of the Web'. Here's hoping for 10 more! Cheers.
Yay congrats! Fizz away!
I'm still a half year away from this. You might hear from me when it's time...

Huzzah! Thank you, Fizz. I appreciate all of your posts, regardless of subject. For instance I was tickled by the recent (non-video-game-related) "Now Fizzing" especially because you were the one who posted it. And thank you for proposing the April Fool's Day joke show for the podcast!

Thanks for all the work that you put into your posts. I love video games but I don't seek out new ones the way I seek out film or music--maybe because a single game can be so much more time-consuming. I really appreciate having someone who is more absorbed in the news and the way of things sharing articles and perspectives.

Early this year, in the middle to terrible winter weather, you posted a MetaTalk with these words: "Thought it would be good to have a place for us to check-in and make sure we're all safe and warm. Take care of yourself, your friends, family members, and our furry loved ones (they get cold too)." I appreciated that, Fizz; it was thoughtful. Good on you!

"Device" has meanings in this line that were not intended in 1976.

I tend to lag behind when reading threads, so I don't comment as often any longer, but I sure appreciate reading them! That BoI thread got me thinking of roguelikes again and I'm 15 hours in a ToME character, who's still alive.
My ten also went past without noticing - time does fly.
