I recently made contact with a gen 1 Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro Joystick on a remote desktop. Pining for Quake II, it was. Sends chills down your spine really.

I helped a lady get her stroller off the bus, she was trying to get it across a gap to the pavement so I lifted the other end and she beamed and said "Thank you for being a gent."
Then I saw her fat baldy fella on the pavement with his hands shoved in his pockets giving me absolute murder eyes.
