Memories, many memories. I remember the endless nights playing Quake on dial-up, 190 ms ping, listening to Nirvana.

There are still people playing on some servers, and the challenge is higher than ever. Although I still have the reflexes, the tics, and I know the maps and respawn times, I had a very hard time fitting into the games. I imagine that for someone starting today, it must be impossible to face 30 years of muscle memory.

I have introduced my son to online Quake III servers where people still play regularly. The Quad Damage voiceover is still cool as hell.

190ms? You lucky bastard!

(hopefully you're familiar with Monty Python...)
