He kept trying to get me to play and but I wasn't all that into the modding scene at that point. So when we got back into Sven and saw that Half Quake was converted we finally got to playing it.      I had fun. I love the concept of the creators themselves having a conversation with the player, not in a self-insert cringy kind
