Aaaah, Friday night... best night there is!

Another funny memory that surfaced in my mind - I used to think my math teacher (in elementary school) was a minion of Shub-Niggurath. In fact, sometimes I drew pictures of her, sitting in her secret lair (under the school) and sourrounded by Quake items (e.g. rings of shadow, pentagrams, boxes of nails, etc.).

Obviously, math was not my favorite subject. English, however, was another story - I loved it. Even at the age of eleven I had already learned a lot (thanks to gaming, mostly) and was quite a few steps ahead of the rest of the class. There were even times when I knew stuff the teacher didn't know (she was pretty shocked).

Quake brought many interesting new words. I remember grabbing a dictionary and translating the names of the levels - I was very curious what they meant. Learning these words made the game experience even more exciting. And it felt awesome to puzzle my friends with phrases like "I see the shadows of the Elder World" :P
