It's sometime in the first half of 2005. The new Xbox has yet to release, but I've played the "Call of Duty 2" demo maybe twenty-five times at Best Buy. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Batman Begins are playing at the theatres. In the fall, at school, I will discover a brand new website called "YouTube". The family computer, a 2004 Compaq Presario SR1000, is running GunZ the Duel at ten frames-per-second; the fan sounds like an idling Harrier. I am almost, but not quite, twelve years old. I don't even know how good things are, and how bad things can even get...
"Let's Rock!"
A friend of mine introduced our group to this crazy game during school time, and we played it together. At first, it felt quite bizarre but funny nonetheless. While everyone eventually gave up, I continued playing and never regretted it. I had a lot of fun with this game. There was a point where I felt I was finally mastering it, and then I stopped playing for no particular reason. Some years later, I decided to pick it up again, but everything felt different. I was a noob once more and had to relearn everything from scratch. Despite that, I still enjoy returning to it from time to time. It's a lot of fun with all the crazy moves like running through walls and jumping. This game never achieved mainstream popularity, but I believe if it ever did, it would truly rock.

Fun fact: this game blatantly ripped off a lot of its maps from existing movies/games.
The map "Prison" has a portion thats the shower room from a movie called The Rock (1996) - https://youtu.be/c-_OTOkDtRk
The map "Mansion" is straight up the mansion from Devil May Cry 1 - https://youtu.be/FhhD7OVt_8c?t=424
The map "Dungeon" that is actually a quest map (meaning it has like 5 different stages to it you have to pass by) is literally Mines/Mountains of Moria from LOTR - https://youtu.be/Y2fwe0rnHak?t=89
