In this episode, I sit down and reminisce with Sam Durbin AKA Squiddy about the New Zealand Team Fortress Classic (TFC) scene back in the late 90's and early/mid 2000's. We discuss his journey into PC gaming, how he found his love for TFC and the story of how he came to be the owner/custodian of nzfortress.co.nz
We then dive into some chat about how lessons he learnt then are still relevant to him now, both in corporate New Zealand and as a father, husband and engaged member of his new communities.
A reminder, that we'd had a couple of beers and were reminiscing about events that happened 20 years ago, so for any factual inaccuracies and misremembered gaming tags and clan names, we ask your forgiveness.
N.B - Contains discussion on mental health and suicide.
Contains minimal swearing, you'll be right.
