Y'know how it is when you're looking for something and happen to find stuff that's based of cool stuff you were involved in the past? Ahh, nostalgic golden memories.

I was looking for a certain binder of mine that I put together than includes a ton of hilarious quotes, interview tidbits, and chatroom transcripts from one of my most favorite bands when I ended up taking out and looking all this fun stuff I did in high school, very nice/cute but old cards from people I care about, old CCD letters, old high school drama programs I've kept, funny stuff I've printed off the internet, etc. (I'm such a pack rat. Whenever I experienced something really awesome, or get something very nice from someone, I tend to keep what I can to hang onto the memory. I've even kept ticket stubs of certain movie tickets from the local theaters.) While searching for that binder I ended up wandering down Memory Lane.

Man, time flies.

I did find that binder, but along the way I looked at all these recorded memories in this box and my 12th grade Theatre II Portfolio in another binder. Good times!

I used to play Descent constantly when I was younger. Then I got a new computer that it didn't work on. So after ten or so years I've finally been able to revisit it. There's just that feeling of nostalgia when you come back to something that you loved many years ago but then it kinda just disappeared for an extended period of time without you noticing.

It's not nostalgia. It feels different. It's like.. Nostalgia on steroids.

Being able to come back to Descent after having played many other first person shooter games was really an exhilarating experience for me. It was my first computer game and my first FPS game. Then I came back to it with more experience in computer games and realized how amazing it really was.
