I Felt Like I Was at University Today
DOA 3 and DOA 2 hardcore came out while I was in college. I played those games a lot. I also worked on campus, and spent a lot of time in North Philadelphia. My wife recently got a job in North Philly, not two blocks south of our university. I’ve also been playing a lot of DOA 5 recently. When I drove her into work this morning, before coming to my own job, I couldn’t help but feel nostalgic. As we sat there in the car talking at 7:30 in the morning, I just thought back to those college days. We live in the same house that we did in college, so things really haven’t changed much. Maybe we’ve stagnated. I’m not sure. The house (which we own) has treated us well enough over the years, as well as any house can treat its rather neglectful residence.
Eh, it was just a bit of nostalgia that I enjoyed. Most of the people from that time have moved on, which makes sense. That happened with people at universities. Every couple of years there is a new crop and the people that were once there are gone. Moving in and out busboys at a restaurant. My old Universtiy would be a ghost town for me now. Sure there would still be people there, but the people that where there when I was there are all gone. It’s how it should be, but for some reason it’s making me sad.
