Struggle for immortality

Talk about eccentric, Richard Garriott (known as Lord British since he was the creator of the Ultima series of games and Ultima Online), has paid a ton of money to go into space! Not only that, but he's taking a time capsule of digital data up with him, including copies of people's characters that play his newest game, Tabula Rasa, and is offering them the chance to have their actual DNA digitized and added as well. I think all of the years of D&D may have finally taken their toll on Richard. The article was a pretty interesting read though, since I did spend a large amount of time playing Ultima Online and Ultima IX Ascension when I was in high school.
