Let me take you back to the year 2000, perhaps the peak of me naively thinking things were going to be great forever. Smash Mouth's All Star was constantly on the radio. It sometimes still snowed in October here in Colorado and I'd get a few extra days off school. And I discovered a little game called Shogun: Total War that may have literally changed the course of my entire life.
OK, it wasn't exactly little for the time. I remember being baffled by how I was supposed to free up 700 MB for one game. But the rest was history. Until it branched out into fantasy in 2016, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
