I hate writing things as this, especially about someone, that I had the opportunity to meet, but not only up to shake hands and make use of.

I was the other night, know that home, passed the Bill Kunkel. For those who may not know, he literally is the reason why there is this industry. He founded the original game magazine, electronic games, back in the early 1980s. Along with Arnie Katz and Joyce Worley-Katz, he, the entire idea created a "video game journalists." On top of that, he was involved in; up to his death, today different aspects of the industry He worked as a game designer, writer guide strategy also teaching game design for the University of Nevada. He went by ship, the tips & tricks magazine, and wrote for several sites than I can name.

As a lifelong geek he worked as a writer and cartoonist, and wrote a book about the exploits of his career with the title "confessions of the game doctor" (in his "The game doctor", which developed over his term in the industry handle). I could take him a few times at classic gaming shows, the past, where he gave lectures on not only what he, in the early days of writing fact, but as the idea came to write, what fascinated him as a medium and how it informs everything, what he did about games. At the time, I had met him I a small fan base as a retro game reviewers on my message boards, developed, always a fixed number of hits for my random posts. He signed my copy of his book, shook my hand and I was him, I start said that I this even wanted to make a profession. Immediately after I had said, he said "I have a pretty good number of hits, and people like my stuff", promote the perfect thing for me.

"Feels good, doesn't it?" And with the biggest smile in the world, that helped me to get the point, I am to today, and with the inspiration to keep my work with a smile of my own.

Bill Kunkel had a strong influence, not only in creating this whole Banaza but to make me personally. He was a nice man, a strong personality and an intelligent Sonuvabitch. As I write this, my heart is very, very difficult, and in the deepest way, he will be missed. Thank you, play doctor; She gave me my life, and I cannot thank you enough.
