I can sympathize with Serene with regards to leaving a legacy behind, at least something worth remembering. However, I don't think that's a healthy purpose for existence. It kinnda forces you to live life the way you don't really want it to be, when one forces himself to make achievements on the basis of leaving something to the world makes it less fulfilling on one's self IMO. I'd like to make "Happiness" as my purpose for existence however, the type that one day dreams can become a reality.
Raven Republic is one good example IMO. Since 2003 I've been dreaming of a tournament scene here in Manila for Armored Core. I clinged to that hope since I got my copy of AC3. Those turned to reality just last year, and I can say I've never been happier. Makes me want to go out and meet new people, and having the same purpose as Nix for going at AC events (The social thing is what maters, meeting people with different quirks and personalities makes AC events interesting. The game itself is a side thing for the most of us, and the meeting with a group of friends is probably the real reason to why most of us are still attending these events). That's why I look foward to most of our events despite the amount of planning involved (Fox has heared first-hand my rants about organizing AC events
), the fun in the end outweighs all the hard planning involved in organizing the event, people somehow just blurt jokes that will make us all laugh, and the mere presence of everyone in the event with a like minded interest over a certain game makes all the trouble in the world to organize PACT and our other smaller gatherings, totaly worth it. 
OT: Wanzerfreak, I have to ask why that certain workmate of yours doing such a thing?
BTW, is she hot?
