In the spirit of it's impossible to drive past a bloody car wreck without looking, I share this for the tawdry gossip value that it is.

Ant Lab Games is one of the most milquetoast game review sites. The couple just posts game play through sessions without pay or compensation. They just like games.

Really, just two people who make good videos about complex games. What a great thing they do for our hobby.

The long and short of the controversy was a few years back a cos-player was "assaulted" at an Origins convention. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know what "assault" means. Assault is bad.

Francis, the wife offered the simple advice in one recent video that your chances of getting "assaulted" are reduced by not putting yourself at risk. While we would love to live in a world where everyone is perfectly controlled, if you go into a group of people, someone may misbehave. If you run around in your bloomers around excitable young adults, you increase your chance of a poorly behaved person breaching the social contract. It ain't right but it's reality.

Everything in life has a risk reward thing. You may be in the right and the civil society will take action, but you can't be un-assaulted. So, choose wisely.

The interwebz got their nose out of joint and attacked. No need for details there. That's why the interwebz was built I'm sure.


I apologize in advance to anyone who might be offended by reality.

Yours,
