very few games i play evoke an emotion capable of captivating me. there have been times in xmp scrims where my hands have gotten shakey with the pure addreniline rush surging through my body. the last time i can remember such a feeling was playing the masterpiece that was ff7 as a young teen. It defined a season of my life, and holds a feeling that remains vibrant and unaltered in my very being. I was hooked on videogames from their on, growing through goldeneye, the quakes, and ut's. xmp has grown on me in these past months and the similarities between what i had experienced as a youth and growing into adulthood at 21 are astonishing. The beauty and grace in movement and gameplay of xmp is unrivaled in any game i have played in years. In a 3D world where everything is considered a rehashed cocauphony of gaming reproduction, xmp has refined the possibilities of team play through a class/game management system to sheer perfection. If only the elite gamers with an undying passion remain fixated to xmp's future, i for one will always hold a captivated place in my heart for it.
the love of the game.
