    I remember trying to play online quake in the 90’s, I live in new Zealand… We had dial up, my latency was around the 5s mark. I have up pretty quick.

    If I wanted to play multiplayer games, it was taking my desktop computer to a friends house, connecting them together with 10Mb BNC networking, and don’t forget the 50ohm terminators.

    A friend spent a week trying to download the original pirated version on XP, the couple of hundred meg file would get stopped for various reasons.

    I have my full name as a gmail account, I got it as soon as it possible. [email protected]
