I find it quite strange how the majority of us all seem to be the same age of 28
lol...well I guess to be dedicated to a game for 14 years, you have to be around double that age to have fallen in love with a game like Shenmue.
I still feel young though, and can't believe how the years are suddenly flying by now, it's scary, but now it's a good thing since 2 years until Shenmue 3 won't actually feel that bad
...but deep inside, somewhere in my heart and soul, there's a part of me that literally hasn't aged and has just been on hiatus waiting 14 years for the next game!
In real life though, many of you know I met Yunny on this forum, and she moved to England with me for 2 great years, however because of her visa and she was missing her family she moved back to Canada, and after a few months of not seeing her, the pain was quite hard to take for us both, and I decided that things would be easier if we moved on. Those were honestly 2 of the greatest years of my life though, and I often think back to that time, and it feels like it was a dream that that actually happened. Anyways, I decided to go back to Uni to study Computer Science, and I stayed there for 2 years before dropping out, in the mean time meeting someone and falling in love with them, been with her for around 10 years now, had a dog together, moved into our own home 3 years ago, the dog stayed with my parents, got a new dog, and last November finally got married
...I'm also a postman haha, and been in that current job for over 5 years now, and it's great, keeps me fit and healthy and it's not as boring a job as you'd think, because you chat to people whilst you're out, the weather keeps changing, I listen to music and podcasts whilst working, start pretty early, but then get home early and feel like i've got most of the day to enjoy!
Really great speaking with you all again, Shenmue is the greatest thing i've ever experienced and the dedication of us all proves that. The news of Shenmue 3 brought tears to my eyes, and I struggle to get emotional at stuff, something truely is embedded inside me from this game, I have such a strong emotional attachment to it, and right now I couldn't be happier!
