Quake

An ex-girlfriend of mine who went by the moniker, Killcreek, beat the creator of Quake, a first person shooter game, online while attending KU. She eventualy started dating the person she beat and became quite famous in the gaming world. You have to understand that back then in the nineties, woman gamers were few, so her presence was a noted big deal. I found out about this from my friend Joel, who always seems to know the whereabouts of people we went to school with, be it drawing comics for the now defunct Spin magazine or showing up on the Johnson County Police Website. One day I recieved a call from him informing me that Killcreek was in a Playboy spread entitled Girls of Gaming, or something like that. Long story short, as I proceded to masterbate to her centerfold I was stopped short. It wasn't that I felt like a pedophile, although she had skipped a grade when we were dating in the fifth grade. It was more, a feeling of corruption--a perversion of innocence. Like some how I was corrupting a moment--a feeling--like the sting of nostalgia, an era. That if I somehow defaced these childhood memories I would be crossing a threshold, some sort of event horizon that I would never be able to escape, and the surviving future would be something new and almost biblically horrible.
