Frankly, I felt bad for all the other press members at TennoCon because they will never get the chance to feel as connected to a game as I am.

What they do every night is to ensure you, the reader, have the most unbiased snapshot of a game.
For all of us that have been breathlessly speculating about the possibility that Riot Games might be making an MMO, well, the joke’s on us.
