Farcadians. The day has come. You are hereby invited, nay, required, to play my game. It's a good game. Trust. There's no need to know anything. Stop reading and jump in. DO IT NOW. Still, if your curiosity begets words more than games, read on. (Expect no useful information below, lest sadness engulfs your heart.)

Our story starts in a far, far away place. A strange land tucked between the mountains, where pilgrims flock to once a year, in reverence for the promise of magic and other illusions. I talk of course of ETHDenver. One night, I find myself in the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is an altchain side event. Glass half empty people would say the music was loud and bad. Glass half full types would point out at the open bar. My own glass was fully empty. Here's why being square is cool: three shots of vodka take you way past tipsy. In my drunken stupor, I contemplate the party. My eyes fall on abandoned bags in a booth. It gnaws at me, the way people leave their valuables unattended in conferences. Literally anyone could be here. They let ME in, for deity's sake! I decide to prove my own theory by acting the part. There is a bag with an odd shape in particular. I can't figure out what it is for. So I get in the booth, and I start rummaging through it.

There's nothing inside. Yet something appears outside the bag. Someone. A young man, perhaps with a slight look of apprehension watching this random old guy grab his stuff. Doesn't deter him from being full founder mode, bless his soul. He says hi, and as I ask him what the bag is for. He explains it's from a portable video game console. Without skipping a beat, he tells me about the game he's building on it, and would you like to try it? Of course I would.

He sets up the game on the console, and I start playing. It's one of these games where you walk around, and your guy shoots on its own, at infinite hordes of enemies. I vaguely know the genre. I used to play a ton of video games, before I got into my head to do far less important stuff. This sort of game didn't get my interest, but that night - perhaps thanks to having killed most of my brain cells with the power of alcohol - I'm having a blast.
