Hidden gems and curiosities from a 20-year old time-capsule of my Quake-obsessed past.

Everyone remembers being a kid. Those golden years where we list off so many formative moments we hold dear through college, adult life, careers, marriage, good times, and bad times. Sometimes we get to share those moments with our own offspring. If we grew up as gamers, then we remember and hold dear things such as our first console, the first game we finished, maybe the first time we played a game competitively.  We sent Shacknews' urban-development reporter "Mr. Sleepy" to the southern USA landmark city of  Clapton, Alabama to interview an 8 year old, highly enthusiastic  gamer "Clyde Presley", to get a fresh perspective on what it's like to be a gamer kid during these trying times. We hope you enjoy it! (Interview was conducted with social distancing and followed all EPA guidelines)
