My god, Did you just bring up some memories. In the 90s my buddy Morgan was head of the game lab at Intel. He was a mast of quake, but another factor was that in the 90s broadband was much more scarce. So imagine playing quake on the fastest machines Intel made on the fastest corp network likely available at the time AND being a master of quake. That was Morgan. And he got paid to do it.

I fucking hated playing quake against him. I was ok, but he was amazing. He also would taunt you.

However, my best gaming memories were when we would basically live at Intel for days at a time playing UO across six diff machines simultaneously on that same corp net. No lag. Thanks for triggering that memory.
