he didn t tell ellis about his marathon effort to remake a video game just for her. he just let her play. but this time as pauline. ellis noticed and flashed a big grin. before diving into her favorite game. in mike s behind, that was it. case closed. he likens the experience to a father putting a bicycle together for his kid on christmas eve, but when he went online, his e-mail was overflowing with questions on how he did it and requested for him to do the same for other people s kids. in less than a week, that youtube video has received more than 1.5 million hits. mike says he wasn t trying to make any grand statements about gender equality in gaming. he was just trying to do something nice for his daughter. but his simple act sparked a massive reaction and opened the eyes of the gaming community. so for changing the game for ellis and other little girls, mike is our foot soldier of the week. and that is our show for today. i want to thank vince warren, nancy giles, michael skol nick
