Wow.Yeah, Kode from here actually. He moved to my home state some time either just before or just after I left, tho I didn't know him at that time, but we played many fighting games and other games together for years and talked/chatted plenty of times off the boards/games, either via g-chat/hangouts or phone/text. When I went home to visit last, a couple years back, we met up and played some offline Marvel, Dragon's Crown and a few other games he had on pc. He's actually helped me out a bit with schooling and career advice as well. Crazy coincidence, we both had our first kid within 1 month from each other, so while our wives were pregnant, we sent each other baby shower gifts and kept each other updated on the whole progress and gave each other heads up the day our kids were born, replete with baby photos. Despite very rarely gaming with each other now (he bout retired from fighters and we generally playing totally different games at different times now), we speak at least a few days out a week about pretty much whatever (family, work, games, music, tv/movies, etc.) We used to be chat daily when I worked my old job, but now my schedule got everything fukked up. Funny enough, I'm chatting with him at this very moment, lol. Looking back, it's been nearly 10 years since I first gamed with him and talked with him on the boards here (well, sohh, but ya know). I definitely consider him legit homie now.
Another cat, not currently on here, but from the sohh days, I met in person thru shared gaming and anime back in the day that I chilled with in person a few times at his crib. He actually introduced me to my wife. There's been a small handful of other cats on here that I would consider being IRL friends with like that if we lived closer and whatnot.
That's amazing.
Good shyt.
