Cute.  At least he wasn't a character from an FPS game like Battlefield or Team Fortress.  Getting fragged every 5 seconds of your existence can't be good.

I just read a story with a premise sort of like that... Um, I think in last month's Analog.  It was actually a really solid story.

Yeah, that one ( in Analog) was really intriguing and I'm usually not much for stories about video games....I can't remember the name but I've got it around here somewhere....
