Yeah, it was definitely rather unwelcoming. I just got used to gaming outside. Where I live now has a yard, though the dogs have destroyed it to the point that no grass grows, but I just don't see the point of a yard at this point.

Exactly. How many will get mad at you and be like "get good or kill yourself" or something like that? Rush to finish dungeon X to do it again. Everyone moves so fast in multiplayer. I like slower paced gameplay in a fast paced world.

My father played games at one point, he played Duke 3d and Doom, but by the time I came around he didn't really bother. He also has zero idea about Quake, feeling Duke 3d was the only important late 90s shooter and that everyone is just looking back on history different from how it happened. Really the only franchise my father has had any real interest in was Doom, he got me into the FPS genre by wanting to play Doom 3 deathmatches a lot. He even showed me some Doomworld videos at the time about using Doom3Edit, the plan was we would both learn how to make maps, but he grew bored with it while I got enthusiastic. I pretty much grew disinterested with Doom 3, partly because I was on a 800x600 monitor with a video card that could barely handle the game on the most minimal settings, plus I just found it to be inferior to Unreal and Quake. The killing blow was making maps however, I just would make a level with 5 Imps and have it slow to a crawl while being unable to add decorations due to the menu for it barely fitting on my screen (my mother loved having the smallest possible resolution she could have as she didn't get why you would want things smaller on the screen, so even though we had 1024x768, I had to do everything at the smallest resolution our Windows XP computer had). I just saw Doom 3 as being clunky. So I started getting interested in those more and my father stopped bothering with games. He has tried to pick up Unreal, but though he enjoyed it he got motion sickness from playing it, and while he has an interest in new Doom he is not really interested in playing games to the point of picking it up. He pretty much just enjoys FPS games, which as you see is my main genre. Recently he found out his brother was getting into some RPG title and disliked the idea of levels, he is more the type that likes games involving skill and finds RPGs to be uninteresting time sinks. Believe it or not, he actually said all this after I had formed my opinion, but it is very funny how he shares my opinions on certain things. He also deals with electronics, so he knows computers quite well and was the person who educated me on custom builds, I couldn't imagine him on a console. He also is interested in doing his own Youtube videos, he is a drone enthusiast. Pretty much the upgrade that I have been planning to the 7700k will also result in him getting the computer I am currently on.

My mother pretty much was my source of all the games I had as a kid, my father's CDs having been misplaced over the years. She used to download a lot of games with a program called WinMX. That was how I got to play a lot of games at the time, she had random titles she would get. All would usually be broken in some form, usually in the form of cutscenes not working, and it was impossible to patch any of the games I got so I played them in their unpatched format for years. Thief 2 was during this time and is why it took me years to learn that the game had cutscenes and why my childhood memories often involve the unpatched version of the game. While my mother loved to download a lot of games, she didn't play too many from what I recall. She did play Thief 2, but she was the type that wanted realism in her games and thus disliked the game after a certain point. As you can see, me and my mother had very different tastes, and while we respected each other's we never really were on the same page. My mother was pretty much your modern gamer, she hates things that aren't realistic in games and thus also dislikes any game with old graphics. She tried Unreal but pretty much got sick of it immediately due to the graphics looking blocky. Stronghold was another game she played for a bit, I thought I had more of an interest but after the Let's Play I realized my mother was mostly interested in that one while I preferred other RTS titles like Empire Earth. My mother loved the Resident Evil series as well, I remember her playing 3 and 4 quite a bit. But her true passion was for the original Sims, she always felt the later ones were too cartoon-like and thus unrealistic, and for Zoo Tycoon. I remember downloading a gun mod for the original Sims so I could invite her people over and kill them. I was quite evil and that pretty much sums up my Sims career, I learned more about how to exterminate Sims than how to play the game, especially since playing the game feels rather dull with constant resource management. She liked tycoons a lot, she also played Rollercoaster Tycoon and Prison Tycoon. As any modern gamer, she has moved on to the PS4, she isn't a fan of the PC due to its lack of plug/play nature. She thinks an Alienware is the best there is.

Yeah, I am pretty much as far from being a Texan as you are. Everything about my state is practically the opposite from what you think. It would be easier to describe how I am like a Texan due to having less similarities with them. This is pretty much the truth of what it is like to live here. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvUMV1N7eGM

Hey, speaking of things to wake up for, when are we doing another Hexen episode? Been some time.

Yeah, I have always been somewhat of a clumsy person. I didn't have much of a reason to have a cell phone before high school, the main reason I was given one was because everyone else had one. I had a small Metro PCS phone that was small and clunky, pretty much only to be used for emergencies. I didn't really jump up until the middle of my high school career, when I got a iPhone 4, which I had until I recently switched to the 4s as a hand-me-down from my father. I just am not really a major phone person, the main benefit besides emergencies is just accessing my email without needing to log-in on my computer.
