What if the tales of your youth could transport you back to a simpler time, filled with video game marathons and epic airsoft battles? Welcome CNY Phil and join us as we share our personal stories of growing up amidst the rapidly evolving world of gaming. You'll hear about Erik's transformation from a PC gamer to an Xbox aficionado, adopting the gamer tag "E-Rock" inspired by a friend's comic book character. We reminisce about our early experiences with classic PC games like Half-Life and Counter-Strike and the online gaming struggles that shaped our teenage years. Plus, we dive into our current adventures with Destiny 2 and the challenges of finding time to game as adults with busy lives.
Imagine discovering airsoft guns in a quaint French toy store as a child and turning those summer vacations into thrilling adventures. We take you through our childhood memories of hunting for these cherished toys during annual visits to our family home in France, sharing the excitement and camaraderie that shaped our friendships. From teenage hairstyles to the early days of social media, we reflect on the unique experiences that defined our adolescence. Rediscover the joy of old hobbies like airsoft and the bittersweet feelings that arise when old friends continue shared interests without us.
Balancing life's responsibilities with passions like airsoft and Star Wars fandom is no small feat. We open up about the personal struggles and triumphs of moving to new states, buying homes, and raising children, all while trying to maintain our interests in these hobbies. Hear our heartfelt stories of transitioning from single life to married life and parenthood, navigating the emotional adjustments and sacrifices along the way. We also celebrate the supportive community that has been with us through thick and thin, giving special shoutouts to those who have made a significant impact on our journey.
