Last weekend I actually spent Saturday afternoon hitting up every pawn shop in town trying to track down an old PS2 w/ GTA: San Andreas, eventually succeeding. I quite literally play through that game on an annual basis, and I'm far from a gamer these days. I like GTA: SA so much that I forced myself to beat the entire game on a ****ing 7 inch touchscreen and a laptop w/ only a touch pad the year before, I throw the GTA: SA soundtrack on at almost every single party I go to, the GTA: SA map is the only poster on my wall. If you could have any game as the last game you played, I'm glad it's San Andreas.

That feeling when you first discover you can play pool in the bars.
That feeling when you discover the video game in CJ's living room.
That feeling when you steal a car and the guy was listening to K-DST and you instantly regret ruining Green River for him.
That feeling when you realize you can just eat food over and over again in restaurants until you throw up on the floor.
That feeling when you steal Madd Dogg's rhyme book.
That feeling when you first crash a car through the Grove St. bridge onto the street below, and then you do it every single time you go over that bridge from then on.
That feeling when you hear the opening credits music after a long day at school.
That feeling when you hear the opening credits music anywhere at any time for the rest of your life.
