That was the best feeling in the world. And I remember going to school and just being in class and fantasizing about that game. Just imagining playing it. I don't know, I assume kids get that with games they're playing wherever they're playing them. Like Fortnite, a kid addicted to Fortnite... Probably had the same passion that I had for Quake and Descent and Doom and all that stuff.

See, we're getting way too specific here, but I think both of us still have DVDs, right, that were from our childhood. I have them all in storage back in New Zealand, and I'm like, I pack them away safely.
