I was at Full Sail in 2003-2004. Say what you want, but the point here is that people there LOVED games. We'd set up 2 TVs in the living room, and 2 in the bedroom, and go crazy for hours. A single game of single flag assault on Blood Gulch could last hours. Then we'd play FFA to pick leaders, then go again. After 2-3 games the hype would dwindle, some would leave, and we'd go to Munchkin. Then occasionally poker. Then Denny's for breakfast because it was early in the morning and class was in a couple of hours on Monday.
Talk about a feeling of belonging. Definitely chasing that feeling still, and not ashamed of it.
