A girlfriend understanding of a gaming habit, and indeed, of the desire
to participate in a fan-made quiz spanning two weeks about said games?
Truly, you lead a charmed life these days. What did you do with the old
'Phid?

So, you ARE the highest score in a single game. Although I do not doubt
that Paulon, as you say below, will have a most impressive overall total.
Yeesh. Two full years I missed. I know I vanished not long after the
beginning of a year, so that'd be '03, and here it is, some 2.25 years
later (at the time of my return).

He was in this one, briefly. He seems to be very low frequency in his posts.

Heh. II wasn't one of my faves by a long shot, actually... however, as
you've seen, I manage to sneak in questsions from the old games.
Granted, I often have to get them from various resources online, or the
Prima UC Guide, although a few things from my own experience do stick
out in my mind well enough.
Of course, there's every chance that, if I game enough this year, that
you will see questions on a new game in the next UJ.
