"Entangling Roots" by Jeff Lessard

I read "Entangling Roots:.." by Jeff Lessard and I found it to be quite interesting. One part of this essay that I found to be a "good" thing is that it seemed to me that he had done quite a bit of research on the gaming community, and he was not basing this whole essay on a hunch. Many people today talk about the gaming community, and point out how some members are not as social as non-members. But Jeff Lessard seemed to have done the research, and went passed purely observing. This is the biggest thing that jumped out to me while reading this essay, it was well researched.
