“When I'm telling stories of my video game days, when I was a really ha...” — R. A. Salvatore Quote

When I'm telling stories of my video game days, when I was a really hardcore MMO player, I played 'EverQuest' for two years and played 'World of Warcraft' and several other games for the last ten years or so... 95% of the stories I'll tell you are 'EverQuest.'

It got so bad that by the time I was graduated, the only reading I did was in order to get the grade and the only writing I did was in order to get the grade.

Writing a book for me, I expect, is very similar to the experience of reading the book for my readers.

So, while I gave up the notions of publishing at that time, I never stopped editing and refining that book. A few years later, in 1987, I thought I had it ready to go out again.

At Roma, it's not easy: if you win three games, you've won the league title; if you lose one, everything is bad.

Growing up as a little kid and being a Giants fan and wanting to play shortstop for the Giants and all that, you never think about stuff like this. Having the most games played at shortstop in the history of the franchise, it's pretty unbelievable to even think about.

I played a lot of games for Villa, and one of my regrets is not winning a trophy there - that still hurts, and that's why the big games are important.
