We should take a moment of to acknowledge a significant nerf milestone.
The creator of the original nerf passed away on November 20. Without his contribution to culture, we never would have had the term game companies all love.
Thank you Fred Cox. Although you probably never played an online game, your presence will always be with these games. (The next time your game play is impacted by a nerf, now you know who was the first one to ever nerf anything.)

Quoting Wikipedia :
In 1972, he invented a soft football, which later became the Nerf football after he sold the idea to Parker Brothers.[4][5]
Sad that thoughts aren't free but simple wares. And ideas are thoughts in my opinion."You are a Tiefling. And a Cleric, with the Domain of the Sun. Doesn't that contradict each other ?" "No, all my friends are playing evil. I found that so boring that I decided to be on the good side. And, besides, Sun and Fire, where is the difference, really ?"
