i was soo sad to hear abouthim being diagnosed with alzehiemers, i dint know it had been so long since his diagnosis, and i thought he would stop writing, so ive been trying to make the most of his books,

but im so happy to hear he will keep writing, i look forward to reading all his books!

Terry Pratchett plays Oblivion. Awesome.

Terry plays HL2 too, I just hope he lives long enough until we can find a way to cure him.

@Brady2k10 its a pretty good game, id get it for pc if i was you, mods extend its playtime by a heck of a lot

[Brady2k10]

@KantorekBaumerB14 i suppose it gives him ideas, i havent played oblivion, but i might give it a go now

[KantorekBaumerB14]

i cant believe this amazing man plays modded oblivion and the shivering isles, now i can identify even more with him, he is epic
