Top Asteroids Scorer Gets Posthumous Award

JayBonci writes "Twin Galaxies is running a story on how after fifteen years, the search for the reigning Asteroids high score champion has ended. The late Scott Safran's family was presented with the award (he died several years ago from a falling injury). It's a pretty interesting article on how Scott's family never knew of his achievement until they were contacted. As it turns out, Twin Galaxies is compiling a book of high score champions of major and classic video games over the years."

    The word you were searching for is "posthumous." From Latin 'posthumus'. No homos involved.

    And I think the word we're all searching for is "posthemos" :)
