Just a few that stand out:
1) Having C&C Red Alert LAN parties at my friend's house. This was back when we had to bring our entire desktop setups and navigate extension cords and no WiFi.
2) Rushing home after school to get the dial-up going for an all night session with friends in CounterStrike and TFC.
3) The first and maybe only time I finished the original Mortal Kombat by constantly leg sweeping Goro. For some reason Shang Tsung wasn't as difficult.
4) Riding into Mexico set against Jose Gonzalez's Far Away in Red Dead Redemption. It was dark and rainy, and the ambiance was just really cool. Could never recreate the same environment on further play throughs.
