    Hi friends! Join me for a whispered look at an old (retro?) issue of PC Gamer magazine from July 2002! This issue is packed with so much nostalgia that I almost can't handle it, from the Grand Theft Auto III and Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind reviews to the Dungeon Siege strategy guide and the "Dream System" PC parts list with 512 whole megabytes of RAM! Whether you're a gaming veteran who remembers the old days or a younger gamer interested in what gaming used to be like, I hope you find this video both interesting and relaxing!
    ASMR triggers sounds include up-close, ear-to-ear whispering, incidental mouth sounds, relaxing page turning, and pointing. I recommend listening with headphones for the best experience!

    WHAT IS ASMR?
    ---------------------------------------------------
    My videos are designed to trigger a relaxing feeling called ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). ASMR is a particular sensation that some people experience when they hear quiet sounds like whispering and soft speaking or watch certain actions like slow hand motions. ASMR is often described as a pleasant tingling on the head and neck, accompanied by a feeling of deep calm and mild euphoria. Many people watch ASMR videos to relax and manage anxiety, stress, or insomnia. To learn more about ASMR, check out asmruniversity....

    And you helped me sleep.

    Dungeon siege! Oh man... I used to sit on a stool as a tyke and watch my step dad play until I got my own computer some years later. Absolutely enthralling world... the music and the sound design are so iconic, reminiscent of early World of Warcraft. The gameplay, though a little stiff and monotonous compared to modern games, still holds up shockingly well. One of the goats imo, certainly of my childhood.

    I remember there were articles on Dragon Ball GT and it hadn't come to the US yet so it was like a myth that we could only get snippets of info from. Awesome video bro, it brought me back to a better time 🙂
