Prepare for earworm. (The main stage theme really deserves a solid ragtime remix someday.)

I think a lot of those friends lost *themselves* to that "I have to go raid" bit. That's less on you and more on them.
Not to, uh, name names or anything.

As a fellow begrudging Epic Games haver for the sole reason of playing Alan Wake 2, I feel called out. (Though I admit to replying Alan Wake 1 on it afterward, too.)

That's funny! A big memory of mine from back in the day was hearing the voice of Spider-Man / Bumblebee (Dan Gilvezan) in this game. Never knew there were multiple spidey connections.

Just one whispered word between friends, "BARBRIAN," met with a nod and a knowing grin.

Kileak! Unfortunate.
But amazing you managed to hold onto this receipt! My last launch day system buy might well have been 4 years later to the day with the Dreamcast. But no receipt survives.

Hah, that's great! I actually had to look up what "Music 3000" was, and that's kind of amazing that they released a sequencer on PS2. I guess it didn't suit Darren's fancy too much, though.

One last addition, a grocery store snippet. Truly representative of the time period - probably 1998. Surge, Josta, Orbitz, and Coca-Cola Classic. Those were definitely the all-nighter video game years.

Here's one from 1997 - my first trip to Japan as a teen. Looks like I scored Wonder Project J2 (N64), Final Fantasy 6 (SFC), and Lunar: Silver Star Story (Saturn). How timely on that last one! I still have the latter 2, but J2 was a gift to a friend.
