I remember him now. His name was Rick. Definitely a heavy guy. And yeah, he was really nice but certainly one of the slowest operators we had. Unfortunately he never got to retire. He passed away due to a heart attack. And I never knew his commute was that long. Yeah, I think I told you about Adam, and John Kelly also passed away a couple years ago too.
I'm with you on ROTT. The scale was all wrong. I did have fun playing it, but it definitely wasn't the best. And with you again on Heretic. I forgot about being able to turn people into chickens. That was fun.
That reminds me of a story when I was working at AMS. I was running Wireshark and happened to noticed a whole bunch of UDP packets coming in and looking very familiar. Eventually I figured it out that someone was playing Unreal Tournament. I brought in a spare video card and on my secondary machine installed it along with UT and when I spotted the UDP packets, did a search for a game and found it. I created my player to mimic one of the bots in the game and joined in. It was two guys playing and I was just spanking the map with them. One of them was bitching why a bot was added and why the difficulty was so high. He clearly stated no bots in the match. This went on for over a week before they started to question it. Eventually they found me.
