As an interesting side effect, I am pretty timid when it comes to experimenting or messing around with games that I feel are "new". I could mess around with Quake a lot, even do some really crazy stuff with you on the server, but I'd be a lot more reserved with Quake 4. In my mind, it's still something big, modern and heavy, and should be handled with care. It took me years before I got the courage to do some basic experiments in Doom 3 (e.g. summoning objects or creatures with the console or messing around with variables).

Oh, I wonder why I'm not surprised you remember and can document your musical tastes a whoel decade back. Yeah, music preferences are affected by our current situation and we need different stuff in different times. As an added bonus, if I listened to something consistently during a specific period, hearing it again awakens strong memories of that time (or stuff I did during that time). For example, many System of a Down songs evoke memories of my college years, especially the second year (which was probably the best) because this was one of the things that was playing in our room most often (one of my roommates had a pretty nice and powerful speakers system). Hearing Holy Mountains immediately brings me back to 2005/2006 - works better than a time machine ;)

Another dentist visit in a few hours... wish me luck. The hardest part is over, indeed, but I'm still pretty nervous and expecting some pain.
