Well I was 17 and in my first week of college when 9/11 happened. I remember taking 5 classes that semester initially. What I recall was only 1 out of the 5 teachers I head addressed the issue with the class and offered help for anyone who might have been deeply affected by it. I kinda should known at that point that place just cared less about real world concerns so to speak.
I do recall a sense of patriotism for a while after and people being nicer to each other. But things kinda went back to normal though. And yeah billions and billions of dollars spent on wars. Well in the spirit of what the thread was initially set out for I will not get political!
That's cool you guys seem like gamers. I've always went through life feeling like "the other one" in a lot of regards. When I was a kid I was like the only person without Sega Genesis Nintendo. In middle school Nintendo 64 was huge but I coulda cared less. I've never gotten into Madden, xbox.etc....
But to wrack you guys memories I do recall having that as a kid! Played with it for hours!
