Black Baby Goku posted:Seung-Hui Cho (/sʌŋ hiː tʃoʊ/; January 18, 1984 – April 16, 2007) was a South Korean mass murderer who killed 32 people and wounded 17 others on April 16, 2007, at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. I remember this day vividly because I was in college and was playing the fourth installment in The Elder Scrolls action fantasy video game series, following The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and preceding The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Oblivion! From the fantastic voice acting, the millions of choices, and the realistic A.I! It was like I was in a living breathing world for the first time ever in a video game. My character and I were one in the same, and I trained him to the best of my ability. I remember that time because I was binge playing World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade... Regardless, we're drifting further away from the topic at hand- the event where terrorists murdered thousands of Americans and destroyed a section of New York City, which was also around the time ny friends were all getting really hyped for the Nintendo GameCube, and we all read lots of magazine articles about it and spent minutes loading really low res internet screenshots of the demo games like Super Mario 128 and Meowth's Rock Party (?!)

It would be fun to play 10 minutes of every game on that list and then randomly swap out to a different one on a timer. Except for Everquest because I probably wouldn't even finish reading class descriptions in that time period

Agh my feels! The only MMO I ever played was Dark Age of Camelot but I looked it up and it didn't come out until October 2001. Some good times and intense feels though.
