Editor’s Desk - September 15th, 2005 Another three months have quickly passed. In this iteration I wasn’t able to lead the TGQ Staff as effectively as usual as I live just southeast of New Orleans, Louisiana. Less than three weeks ago, hurricane Katrina passed within 10 miles of my house. Thankfully, I took heed of the warning sirens and evacuated in time. Even after leaving, I wasn’t really expecting the hurricane to hit. I gave Wes Ehrlichman, a good friend who also happens to be an indispensable help, a call that ended with this cryptic note: “Just in case this hurricane hits, I may not be able to get online or work with the magazine anytime soon. I mean, heh, the city would be underwater.” I was half jesting; there was no way it was going to happen. Now I haven’t been home since the 27 th ; bouncing around the country from hotel to helpful household the whole time, selfishly wondering about my stuff. As horrible this event has been to so many people, it still feels surreal to me. I keep thinking that I will just go home one day and everything will look the same. It has to be this way, I just know it. When I go home, I will sit down on my couch, unwrap my PS2 controller, plug it in, and finish the Sega Ages Collection game of Outrun I had just started before the loudspeakers drove past my house blaring evacuation warnings. 2 The Gamer’s Quarter Issue #3 That’s how it feels anyway. Looking over satellite photos, I know that I still have a roof and it’s currently dry, but I have heard reports of minor flood and wind damage in my neighborhood. Even if my house is ok, my stuff might not be - my copy of Rondo of Blood, my recently acquired Sega Saturn, my MVS arcade machine - it might all be gone. With my thoughts focused on the magazine I have been able to put that out of my head for now. I’ve been able to get online enough to download drafts of articles and look over art to keep myself in the loop. The majority of the final work was done by Wes with enormous assistance from the rest of TGQ’s staff. The magazine would not have made its self-imposed deadline without their teamwork and dedication. Thankfully, my wife and I are fine. Others, people I once called neighbors, are not. I know that some of you reading this have already donated to the flood victims. If not, I know there are many who still need help and will continue to need help for months to come. Seeing the support and relief that’s been offered to flood victims thus far warms my heart. heart. -Regards I thank all of you from the bottom of my Matthew Williamson, Editor In Chief shapermc@gamersquarter.com
