[quote] "Well, when i was 4, my dad bought a trusty XBox. you know, the first, ruggedy, blocky one from 2001. we had tons and tons and tons of fun playing all kinds of games together - until he died, when i was just 6.
i couldnt touch that console for 10 years.
but once i did, i noticed something.
we used to play a racing game, Rally Sports Challenge. actually pretty awesome for the time it came.
and once i started meddling around... i found a GHOST.
literaly.
you know, when a time race happens, that the fastest lap so far gets recorded as a ghost driver? yep, you guessed it - his ghost still rolls around the track today.
and so i played and played, and played, untill i was almost able to beat the ghost. until one day i got ahead of it, i surpassed it, and...
i stopped right in front of the finish line, just to ensure i wouldnt delete it.
Bliss."[/quote]
The feels... they hit me pretty hard here.

This thread needs more edgy tough guy talking about how this is stupid or something. Doesn't somebody want to be cool and grow their e-ween?! But seriously, that is a really nice story. I was even thinking "Why would he try to beat that time and replace the ghost" as I was reading it... then I "d'awwwwww"d.
