Before anyone gets confused, my reply is not because of Edsel's stupid opinion (I honestly didn't read the post) but because he's a cancer to not only this forum but society in general. |

How did you not play Doom till 2005? Doom was fucking everywhere. Most demo CDs had the shareware version as well. |

Growing up, my dad was quite a bit hands-off. For a lot of my childhood he was more interested in brewing beer as a hobby and working on project cars to do much with me, but the one thing he did do was help me practice for baseball a lot, so it was something I took pretty seriously. When I was ~9-10, he ended up getting laid off and accepted a transfer from Portland to Dallas/Ft. Worth since the airline he worked for at the time was contracting out all fleet chiefs and crews. He ended up being in Dallas as my mom struggled to sell our house in Portland. Because of that struggle, time dragged on into the next baseball season. My mom worked, and any time that she was off was taken up by dealing with selling our house, so there was zero hope for me to be able to actually practice or play my next season in Minors. It ended up really bringing me down as everyone else had sports to play and things to do, which was exacerbated by living across the street from a school with sports fields. I really didn't have much else to do but distract myself with other hobbies at home. My mom ended up talking to my dad about the situation, and he came up with a solution that really means a lot to me looking back on it: He'd work some more overtime, and switch us to an unlimited long-distance plan, which at that time was a pretty big deal. He knew that I really liked playing computer games, and I commandeered the family's 486 in the office for spending my spare time with nothing to do building (or attempting to build) maps for Wolfenstein and Doom. Since his roommate at the time had a Pentium he'd just bought and wasn't doing much with, my dad set up every weekend when his roommate was working for us to have a few hours of Doom time over the modem. It was one of the rare places where my dad and I bonded, playing through Doom and Doom II in coop mode typing messages back to each other and accidentally shooting each other with rockets. It helped that summer be a lot more enjoyable than it otherwise would have been, and produced a lot of moments my dad will still bring up to me to this day whenever we get a chance to talk about it. Edit: Snip! |
