It's pretty odd what my brain chooses to make connections between sometimes.
Part of my pile of MP3s is my copy of John Henry by They Might Be Giants. Whenever its turn in the rotation comes up, I'm reminded of sitting in my dorm room freshman year, playing Sim City 2000 when I should have been studying.
I was never into playing the long game; I'm pretty sure my version was hacked so I could do infinite construction and then call down natural disasters for kicks. It was more fun for me that way. Maybe not as fun as networked Doom, but I didn't need to coordinate getting online with anybody to send an alien invasion to my city.
