Yo, I might have to check that out. It warms my heart, just knowing people aren't letting it go. Gotta keep that 1990s PC gaming spirit alive, somehow. Arena shooters are to my generation as drive-in movies are to the Boomers.
Not to make unfair comparisons, or anything, but a LOT fewer people caught the clap at LAN parties, compared to the ol' drive-in. I mean, it's not zero, but it's definitely less.
The fact that there were a lot more women at drive-ins compared to LAN parties probably has something to do with it.
Also, people notice you going AFK because you're taking a fat noodle up your doodle a lot quicker than they notice you aren't really watching the movie.
