In Another Life, Part 2

For most people, photo albums and video recordings are your go-to way of storing any precious memories for you and yours to look back on somewhere down on the road and as a result, develop a closer, tighter bond through the sheer power of sentimentality. 

Anyway, video games… yeah, apparently they were just as good, if not, better. Who knew? 

More and more this gathering we were having was starting to feel less like a dinner and more like a date, with Mom and Dad taking up most of the spotlight and cruising down memory lane while Amanda and I were there somewhere in the scene acting as the third and fourth wheel respectively. 

Every once in a while one of them would decide they wanted to switch lanes, and then Amanda would have to come up, switch some gears, and after waiting on a quick loading screen, we were back to slow cruising and awkward reminiscing.
