Maybe it just needs some fertilizer - a couple of buried semi-cousins should do the trick :P

Heh, exactly. I see people raving in the chat "if you don't know tactics, GTFO" and I ask them "How are players going to learn tactics, if you never let them join you in dungeons?" The usual response is an outburst of obscenities, of course.

My folks played WOlf 3D and Doom quite a bit, then also some Descent and Duke 3D. Quake - just a little, their interest in this was already waning at this point. As for me - I loved games, the only colorful thing in an otherwise grey and dull life (yay for living in a post-communist wasteland). Getting new games was hard, though, so I often had to replay the same stuff again and again. I got used to that, so even today I don't mind replaying familiar stuff. FPS was the genre of choice for many years, until a classmate introduced me to StarCraft in 2000.

Even my mom played Doom, but navigating complex levels was not her strong suit. All the ancient PWADs I have (including the compilations) were brought by her, though their source remains a mystery. When we finally got internt at home, she was the one to find the three Doom II megaWADs I played the most throughout the high school years.

Sometimes I am right, though - one of my American professors really was from Texas :P

Ah yes, Hexen. You may have guessed that I was pretty tired those last few weeks so the mere thought of getting up early in the weekend was pretty unpleasant. Today is my dad's birthday and we will be celebrating tonight, so tomorrow morning probably won't work either... Perhaps some late night option?

Pretty much the same here - didn't really need a phone back then, but it was considered useful for me to learn how to use one, especially in light of me going to a university in another town. I believe this model was my first phone.
