I don’t remember much about my Year 9 school camp. I have vague impressions of stretches of bushland, and another class being made to perform the Nutbush while mine was spared, but the part I remember with the greatest clarity is that the camp ended on May 17, 2002 โ€“ the same day that the Nintendo GameCube launched in Australia.

A lot of AAA output in 2025 is still working from a modified version of the blueprints that were created back then โ€“ I don’t know if I’ll ever be as blown away by anything, visually, as I was by the GameCube remake of Resident Evil.
