I don't know why it's so hard to think of specific things when there's so much to choose from. I love trippin down memory lane... thinking about getting so excited when I was a kid and got a SNES for Christmas with Mario All Stars... in a big yellow box... and being 'the man' at Mario Kart. And a Mega-CD with Night Trap and Cobra Command... what I'd give to play that again. And the good-old Game Genie for the Megadrive... and always thinking how crap it was compared to the Pro Action Replay, but now wishing I could find even a single code for it. And my A1200 Amiga, with Amos and Blitz Basic... and making a Doctor Who platform game with the former... with Daleks as sprites because they were easy to animate. Ah, I love memory lane 

I know how ya feel. There's so many good things i can choose from, but i've said.. 3? I have tons of things i could say, but most of them just don't matter as much as the ones i've already thrown out. 

A ton of my  good memories, of things i love, are gaming related. I remember spending my childhood playing Age of Mythology. That game was my world back then. I remember getting super engrossed by the stories of games, which interested me beyond anything else. Man. I miss being a kid.

LOL I thought I saw somewhere where the staff can actually give TWO rep points instead of the obligatory one.

Not that I'm aware of.

Wonder if I can give myself a rep.

Ohh, sounds rude.

Hmm. It wouldn't have sounded rude even to my dirty little turtley mind until you mentioned that it sounded rude.

I love:

When Beccs takes my turtley mind to dirty-dirty-mayoland even at times when it actually wasn't for like 3 minutes

I love how all my best threads are complete ripoffs of other threads.

The 90s

I fucking adore the 90s.

Best music, best games, and pure nostalgia, from my POV anyway

Particularly 1993-1998 for me. And even more so 1994-1996. I feel like the closer to the mid nineties you get, the better.

If the was a Heaven for me it would be me and my best(est) friend(s) in the whole world living forever in a suburban paradisal loop of 1993-1998.

Thanks for your rep I love my avatar too... it's a very meaningful symbol for me and the closest thing I've got to a religion as an atheist

I've never played that. My game was Colonization, and all the history that came with it inspired me so much, creating a lifelong love of American and Native American history. I even used to have it as kind of part of my identity, and had native american-style jewellery... an earring and a medallion in the shape of a dream-catcher. And my favourite book was Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee.

It's no problem!  I don't understand what it symbolizes, but i still think it looks awesome.

AoM? it was a really, really awesome RTS, with tons of mythical creatures, set in ancient greece (With a bit of troy too!), made by the Age of Empires guys (Obviously, considering the title  ). Never played Colonization, myself, though. It sounds really cool, though, as it had that much of an effect on your lifestyle. 
AoM got me interested in history, from a pretty young age, and since then i've picked up a lot of history, and love learning more. (though, never really learnt much about native america, though i know a fair bit about the USA). I've always been more about European history, being from britain.
My favourite book has to be Fall of Reach, of the halo books, it is just awesome.

The whole "clockwork" thing means an awful lot to me too, actually. I thought about that kind of thing for years.

I love the whole "clockwork" thing. I used to speak of how we are all biological robots, automatons, etc.

I wrote a cryptic bullshit 6 word poem that went:

"Sand lizard, half gone, Clockwork Sun."

I've always loved the whole "Clockwork universe" analogy, and I've always loved robots.

We are The Robots:

P.S. I love this song:

AoM is a truly wonderful game that I wish I had played more, I lost my copy of AoM.

I adore AoM. I love it so much and I miss it. I never had the expansion, only the original vanilla version.

I would have bought it again ages ago, but I was too busy playing Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings: The Conquerors Expansion pack (AKA: AoC).

AoC is my favorite game of all time. There's a reason it's 17 years old but it's recently had two brand new expansion packs and more people play it online than AoE3 and AoM.

AoE3 kind of sucked (by comparison, it's still one of the best strategy games ever. But I'd say Rise of Nations is almost as good (I prefer Starcraft to AoE3 though, that gets a second place after AoC, RoR, and AoM for me), AoM was the last truly great Ensemble game. An amazing game.

I still think AoC was superior though.

The original AoE was amazing, and RoR was even better but AoK was extremely amazingly spectacular and AoC perfected it.

I love AoC. Memories.

Played it online everyday without fail for 8-12 hours a day for 6 years.

...yeah never done that with any other game.
