Try to picture the scene for me. It's a busy evening sometime around 2010. The Harry Potter movie series is wrapping up, Mad Men and Homeland topped the TCV charts, and games like the original Red Dead Redemption and Skyrim made gamer hearts beat just a little bit faster.
It was around this time that a Danish, a British, and a Hungarian teenager walked into a bar. Or, rather, a Skype call. International friendships do be like that. We were still very much on the Civilization 4 train at the time, taking that fabled "just one more turn" over and over again, and then there were just the two of us left by midnight, as our Danish buddy had to take his leave.
