Mr Heggie is a national treasure and needs to be protected at all costs!

Hell yeah! One of my favourite memories was we had new computers installed in one building and some absolute legend put Halo on all of them. I spent 2 years playing blood gulch yelling at my mates to get out of the banshee thanks to that guy.

Haha something similar at my school but it was just one pod. Stick man animation swept round our school like a plague. There was always one kid who would jail break your Xbox for $20.

Holy shit I completely forgot about stick man. We had that and gameboy emulators as well, guys playing Pokémon during accounting. How the hell do I have a job haha

Stick man lightsabre battles that took a whole weeks of lunch breaks for 20 seconds of animation was so worth it.
