[Author]In a night's sleep, which deeply yet somehow restless, night, was that in one which was coldest and hottest my life, after I wake up feeling would, as I had slept for weeks, but the clock shows only just minutes passed I came in a time warp and spoke cordially with my old friend, 1998.

Heath: Oh hey, 1998, how it's goin '?

1998: Oh you know, stuff is Internet, which is becoming increasingly popular, Metal Gear Solid well, holes in the atmosphere with radiation, it makes people spend, yadda yadda, good times. Thinkin' ' bout you give guys a visit of some time.

Heath: What? Is by no means, visit us now bad idea of jeans. Just... Let us just keep our stuff over long distances.

1998: Wait, what? Why? I don't get it. Wants you to me not around or...?

Heath: You understand me wrong, man, you are great. Everyone loves you, and we welcome you back, believe me. It's easy...I know not... that we care to bother us to you.

1998: But you are in such a cool place to play with and systems, which are gonna blow my minimum-you said even so that you are with your talk about that, how easy it is for you to play online games and all that jazz.

Heath: Again, you misunderstand me man. I have tons of great things to show you. I would love for you some of these to examine games that my neighbors and I have. You know that Final Fantasy Tactics game that you just cranked out? Guy of a couple of me below revolutionized doors, that whole subgenre.

1998: For real?

Heath: totally. It has Valkyria Chronicles , and it is surprisingly named. This is only the tip of the iceberg, though. A couple of Playstations after what you have, we have this pretty cool franchise roles; This adventure series uncharted is gonna blow your mind. Microsoft has even some consoles und--

1998: Get the hell out of the city.

Heath: Ernst, and they actually have some good things going for them, almost all of them with rifles.

1998: What about portable devices? Spoil it for me.

Heath: they are incredible, Nintendo's things and a Sony ends make. And you know the Metal Gear series, you to?

1998: Yeah?

Heath: Keeps on cranking out the hits. Persona gets awesome Mario keeps on keepin' ' it real, Gran Turismo is your jaw in new depth, Tomb Raider cases from the map bring but makes a comeback, online RPGs include some beautiful environments and Grand Theft Auto goes from stupid to mainstream-fast overnight is obscure. Many of the great things you have to keep getting better and better.

1998: Beautiful, and I bet, this RPG Xenogears , I Cook has really takes off and gets huge.

Heath: Mmmm, is see, that is those that I would not speak more... one of the things. She... doesn't want to know, what happens with this brand.

1998: We have more Mana, right?

Heath: No, not us. * a beer snatches *.

1998: Suck. AW well, JRPGs, Final Fantasy is really taken off now. With the dynamic, which got it is, I'll bet, the audience gets huger and the quality of the games goes through the roof.

Heath: * chokes on drink * yeah, ah... * cough * about....

1998: Oh, come on.

Heath: It does not necessarily "suck", but each game is the world on fire with the duality of love and hate. The whole situation is a bit messy.

1998: See which not the people you say, what's up?

Heath: HA HA HA. Oh, wow. Yes, game reviews. Ask 1998, just not about this more Oh.

1998: I can think of not the problems. I'm not saying that in indignation, I say, I literally not them can think of, because I am freaking past.

Heath: What makes embarrassing this. You know, received the "Internet", which was so popular OK?

1998: Yeah.

Heath: Well, it finally is much more popular and, for better or worse, easily establish, a website above. All Twerp can throw together an online journal, fake some credentials and check the games start in half an hour. You are partially responsible for many guests inflation, that happens. Places from which uses 10 in Olympic Gymnastics, but with a scoring system, as it is rock high school. [I type this a C. ~ ed.] [Nick]

1998: That makes no sense.

Heath: You will say that about many things.

1998: I get not, tell me why this -

Heath: No. seeing you need in many ways, we back where 1998 I you. We really do. But you are you and I, I, and that's just the way how it gotta stay. You have amazing things. You have consoles to play the games. You just play - every game system logo only inserted and played, completely, without having to wait until a firmware update.

1998: A Firmwa--.

Heath: Still have to put with a game was made by a company make to know a smaller game at the start and gradual release of more pieces for five bucks a pop.

1998: How is that even Poss--

Heath: You have pre-merge Squaresoft. You have Ocarina of Time. Dude, some cool Zelda games come in between me and you, it keeps again on practically every human being, that you as the best in the franchise. That and your Metal Gear Solid want to pop up on virtually every best game ever list for years and years-at least a decade, I can testify.

You have many games with same screen multiplayer, that actually works. Either online or nothing has moved most of our multiplayer. So many aspects of would today the hell out thwart you, if we all suddenly thrown on you. She would likely game give up and do something stupid like piano lessons to take or learn a new language, or go to med school. You don't want that. No one wants the.

1998: I say, I will check it out. I'm very curious.

Heath: Like I said, there is much love. But just as many things that you already have the best of it. It could be sheer impact never a year of gaming better than you, old friend. Just enjoy what you have and we talk later. If you go directly from where you are now hood in my, you are freak out. Best leave things roll-out of course. Far it should be away confused and angry mess with the nature of the universe and time travel abuse us, above all, if you are just going to walk. Keep to just what have you, and things can happen, as it is.

1998: You have a good point. I have only a short time, to store some games anyway in my Y2K-bunker. Have you heard about Duke Nukem Forever?

Heath: We have to talk a lot...
