It's great down here, coming to work and hanging out with your friends and talking about video games all day.

We, his remaining friends, have spent the last day with Duke praying and talking about a new chapter in Duke's life, a chapter of service to God,

Dude, are you going to be talking all day?

That's the refreshing part about it. This is someone who has gone to work every day for 1,400 games in a row. And it's not like this is a Monday-to-Friday job. This is every day of the week.

You work on development in the early part of the day. When the games are being played you go out there every night to win.

I wanted to talk to someone. But who? It’s moments like this, when you need someone the most, that your world seems smallest.
