Oh man, when I was just getting into acid I took a tab one Saturday morning and watched Fellowship of the Ring Extended in the frat living room. Felt like watching a DnD campaign. As it was ending one of the guys and his friend I hadn’t met walked in setting up tables and their PCs. I asked what was going on and he was like “Jaycifer, today is the LAN party, did you forget?”

I had, I played Quake III for the first time that evening. I had never really played a boomer shooter before, but that was one of the most intense multiplayer experiences I’ve ever had. I got my hands on a rocket launcher and I swear I had a sixth sense for knowing where someone was going to be to blow them up. I’m not normally one to trash talk, but I talked so much shit throwing out “get pwned” and “git gud.” It was so awesome!
