I miss my step-brother and -sister...I moved half a country away to go to college, and we haven't been able to be together since Christmas. One of the greatest memories of my childhood was playing video games with them; we'd make up jokes when we played the games, and we'd exploit the silly situations...like in Metal Gear Solid, you could place a shit-ton of C4 down and knock on the wall. When a guard came running, you could blow him up. Then that would trigger an alarm and more guards would come running, then activate another C4. So much fun.
Of course, they're not gone forever like most of yours, but it feels like it.
Also, I miss Monster Rancher.
