I'm more blown away that in 2000 or before that even, the whole problem of people camping and stuff was already elegantly solved by Quake and Doom and w/e, and now Activision and EA are doing the most insane possible poo poo year after year and adding more and more onto the problem to combat complaints and lessen it by tiny steps while creating new bad things...

It must be sad for the folks who were completely blown away by Deus Ex in 2000 thinking "alright this is it...the next evolution in gaming" and 15 years later and there's still nothing like that game.
MGS2 for me was a lot like playing Deus Ex when I was 10.

I lost two years of gaming in high school to World of Warcraft until I wizened up and realized how easy it was to play SNES games on a computer and did tha instead.

The game I think I spent the most time emulating as a kid was a Japanese copy of Monster Rancher 3 I think for GBA which I somehow learned how to play and understand just from doing it.

Oh it was just Monster Rancher Advance. This but in Japanese because I could never find an english copy and by the time it came out I had probably already learned how to play the Japanese one.

I don't remember, I guess randomly but there's a picture in my brain of a CD icon in the game's menus somewhere so probably through a crazy japanese thing where you put a CD in a tower at a toy store or whatever and hook your GBA up to it.
