it's 2005. october. you're 15 years old. your bedroom window is cracked and it is raining outside. you put on a hoodie and sit down at your computer. you smell the dew in the breeze from your window. click. click. the mouse tracks over to xFire, then winamp and then to the Firefox browser. you log-in to myspace and what a lucky day: notifications are filled with profile comments, picture comments, private messages and friend requests. on winamp, you scroll through your endless list of unashamedly torrented music. A. Atreyu C.. D.. E.. Escape the Fate... no.. F.. ah, Fall Out Boy just released From Under the Cork Tree. "Of All The Gin Joints In All The World." click. perfect. now the moment you've been waiting for. with everything minimized you turn your attention to the cluster of icons on your desktop and boot up Halo CE.. multiplayer > coldsnap > boop.. boop.. boop.. BEEP!
