A strange concept,
to assemble at a place,
setup gloriously imperfect,
a real face to face.

Technical issues engineered,
food and beer prepared,
fixed whatever had appeared,
an epic time is about to be shared.

Age of Empires – Two, Definitive Edition,
what glorious battle we fought,
in a two vs two vs two mission,
and who would have thought,

twenty years younger again,
with old clan shirts of glory,
being proud of what we can,
writing a little new story,

With Get the Fuck out,
we dared something new,
tactic, laugh and shout,
another challenge for the crew.

Aside from being father,
thankfully employed,
someone’s significant other,
friendship was not destroyed,

it was just waiting for a moment,
like this to reassemble,
to all of us a precious present,
for a night of joy and gamble.

Nothing has changed there,
not even the Warcraft three mods,
some hair is grey, to be fair,
beating the game like demi-gods.

I missed this time,
and value this memory,
friendship does not stop to shine,
it just needs an opportunity.

What a wonderful weekend, what a crazy idea to make a LAN in 2026. Best decision ever – besides me getting married!
Do it, call your old buds and friends. Tell them, get your laptops, PC’s and whatsoever. Be once again the heroes of back then.
