Wow, real jokesters our parents, lol. Pfff, I was so hyped for the same reason. Playing Halo at a friends house impressed me almost as much as playing Super Mario 64 at a relatives house did. I never really played Goldeneye so playing Halo felt like 3d shooters were finally a thing on consoles to me, and the co-op was hella fun too! And i liked the big chonker controller!

Double ugh.

Very true, but 14yo me preferred 16h long gaming sessions. We even got that OG Xbox for Christmas, although my dad did have to prank us by first only putting the DVD remote under the tree and be like “yeah, so when you do get it, you have this upgrade already, isn’t that neat??”. Then he went up and got the final surprise gift: the OG Xbox. That actually might be the first time I remember being exhausted from hype. Wtf, me and my brother were so happy with it.

He never got to know this, but we already knew what was coming. We knew the secret gifts hiding spot they used, and took our time to professionally open and repackage that gift when our parents were out one night. We didn’t even need to really fake our surprise, we were so hyped to be finally able to play on it.

Pretty baller setup by the looks of it! Our console had to be living room based by parents decree, so they had more grip on our playtime. Ugh…

Maybe Deathrow? I only ever rented it a couple times, but I looks like a depressing arena so… could be 😆

The only difference is that your making your immune system target just those cancer cells and nothing else. It’s extremely specific. Also it has to be because you and I are currently breeding our own unique cancers with no known vaccines.
