World of Warcraft. My dad exposed me to it at a very young age so it holds a special place in my heart. Most of my friends’ interests generally align with mine, but that game just doesn’t hold them.

This is a wild choice for the crowd, but my father is a HUGE fantasy fan and I was raised with loads of fantasy/sci-fi media.
I was in the 5th grade when the Xbox 360 was released and at the time this RPG was an exclusive for it. I remember this was the first video game I really got into. My brother and I put hours and years into this game… exploring and finding all the little secrets, creating outrageous characters, and messing with radiant AI system to push the boundaries. I loved how the general graphics and lighting of the in-game world were so dream-like - made it feel so much more fantastical. I have sweet nostalgia for this game and the world of Cyrodiil.

got a free copy of the game of the year edition from my church growing up for whatever reason, ended up playing hours of it alone in my attic. loved how little direction it gave you, and much of the time I spent playing this game was just walking around referencing the physical map that came with the game and exploring whatever places I came across. usually this meant encountering areas that were waaay too high level for me, but finding ways to be creative and get around enemies was a reward in itself. I also loved the lore, and would often have the game’s wiki pulled up to reference while playing.
this game sparked my love of RPGs and open world games, as well as my love for lore and world building. i enjoy games like elden ring, tears of the kingdom, baldurs gate, demon souls, etc because of how they remind me of my first experiences with morrowind. it took me years to play to the end as the main quest was often not my priority as much as the journey itself. skyrim came out like 2 years later and blew my mind, but morrowind still has a special place in my heart. plus the rest of the elder scrolls series feels too generic medieval fantasy at times, morrowind truly felt like a unique fantasy world. got the map framed in my living room rn, got another copy to have a pristine map tho haha

It’s so soothing. The soft clacks of the controller buttons. I’m watching my bf play Elden ring atm, but I enjoyed watching my housemate play RD2 and growing up I watched my dad play desktop computer games and then my sister play RPGs on the PlayStation. Feel like a kid and watch someone play.

The amount of peak media I’ve ruined for myself by watching clips on youtube is beyond my ability to calculate. I’ve seen the ending of the sopranos and I haven’t watched a single episode. I’ve seen death scenes for characters I didn’t even know the name of yet. I’m a monster

Sometimes I have these moments of quiet and I realize ”hey, I haven’t called my mom in a while, I should do that”
And I think that’s pretty important. If you’re reading this, and there’s someone you haven’t talked to in a bit, do it. Give em a call, if you can.
We’ll all be here when you get back!
