I might just want that medic as a wallpaper. Or my phone wallpaper. Or a tattoo.

theawkwardgamer: Game Boy by *marcshort No matter what age you are, you’re never too old to play the gameboy. Unless you’re pretending to play it, because the power switch is totally in the “off” position.

lenier: I remember the first time I played Doom. In Year 10, I did 2 weeks of work experience - one week with regional television station NBN (I wanted to be a cameraman) and the other with a local computer retailer. I remember being playfully teased that I hadn’t played this new game yet, promised to be a great as Wolfenstein BUT SO MUCH BETTER. I had to beg for 2 fresh floppy discs with which to bring the game home to my 25mhz 386. The game barely ran. In fact, I had to play it at half resolution with the sound driver removed from autoexec.bat or config.sys or wherever you had to remove it from. Regardless, it was GLORIOUS. I think everybody has a similar memory of Doom. I had played the hell out of Wolfenstein at the time, which was nice. And then, at some point, I ended up at another kid’s house (I think it was for some sort of school project), and when we were done, he booted this up. HO-LEE SHIT. The next step, obviously, was to get a copy of the shareware myself. And it was significantly less exciting. Turns out his computer was miles ahead of mine. But by the time Doom II was out, I was ready.
