I played the first 5 minutes of Baldur's Gate 2 at a LAN party back in 2000. I bought the Ten Billion DVD BG2 Collection some years later ... and have yet to install it. The prospect of playing BG2 is like looking at my book shelf and telling myself that one day I will read Atlas Shrugged.

Zork I was the first game I ever played. I saw a friend had all these post-it notes on his huge 13" monitor and a hand drawn map on the wall over the desk. I asked what that was... I had just bought my first PC, a 286. I think it was 1985 or 86. I was supposed to be writing short stories up in my little office (my only good reason for buying a computer at the time) and my girlfriend would poke her head in the door and catch me playing Zork instead and give me shit for my shiftless ways. I finally got stuck halfway through Zork III at the Cerebus cave and there were no walkthroughs at the time so I gave up. I really need to finish that game.
