The Unexpected Realization...
Way back when during my secondary school days, I confess to be addicted to Computer Games. I would have no problems spending hours on end sitting in front of my PC clicking aimlessly to win that next mission, or kill that next opponent.
However during my college years, my desire to play PC games had more or less waned and once I started work, it pretty much stopped completely due to lack of time.
It was quite a surprise to me when she mentioned that she used to play RTS PC Games once upon a time and also professed to be an avid gamer as well. At that time, it was mentioned in passing and I did not really take too much notice of it.
It was not until a few weeks ago, when we were going through her CD collection that I did see copies of classic PC Games that she had. Since we didnt really have anything planned, we spent the day reliving our memories of playing those old games. I had fun but little did I know that was only the beginning of things to come.
She also mentioned that she used to play those games in multiplayer mode as well which resulted in me suggesting that we could play together via a local network. She seemed quite excited by the prospect of battling it out evidenced by the twinkle in her eye.
The following week we eagerly tried to setup a local network game only to discover that particular game was so old that local multiplayer connectivity simply wasn't supported. We were both sorely disappointed. But the mere idea of setting up a local network prompted me to suggest other games that I knew would definitely work.
The very next day, we trotted off to our local PC games distributor that shall remain anonymous for their safety ;) After deciding on our choices, we sped back home eager to try out some of our new purchases. Needless to say, she and I were hooked from then on.
Yesterday, I think we went slightly overboard to the extent of skipping our meals to remain glued to the PC screens for the whole day. We had expanded our gaming portfolio to several other choices that I had experience with before and spent literally the entire day dueling it out in our new found activity.
I remember thinking later that night, how much I miss playing multiplayer games and who better to play them with than the person I want to spend all my time around. I'm so happy that we share similar interests in this regard as well as so many others.
Nobody is more right for me, hunneh =)
