That fear is fascinating, and part of evolution. It's what so many animals go through on a daily basis.

I remember I bought this game back on August 3, 2004. I played the first 20 minutes, and then I just couldn't. I did come back to it in 2012.

The game where you somehow can't duct-tape a flashlight onto the end of your shotgun.

Was that its release date? How do remember the date of something that far back in time?

Yeah, I understand, but first you have to look at it as a video game. The developers wants the game to have a certain feel and adding the flashlight would change that particular game play. Personally I would prefer to have the shotgun with the flashlight. But if we want to get ultra realistic, then wouldn't the batteries eventually waste? Perhaps in real life the Marine would choose to conserve battery power. Then again, tape it to the gun and only use it when truly needed. That way you can use both at the same time.

That was the release date. I just can't remember if it was still Funco Land or Game Stop. I'm 95% sure it was Game Stop by that time, because I don't have any Funco Land memories after the year 2000.

Thanks, I was just curious whether you have eidetic memory.

Funny, yesterday I was thinking that I have a top level chess player's type of memory. in the sense that they always mention the date or year that something happened. For example, Finegold starts talking about some random story, about something that happened in 1987, and Anand corrects him that the story took place in 1986. It's just a very common thing with Nepo, Magnus, Hikaru, and many others.

In real life, when talking with someone who knows my real age (most people think I'm in my early 20s, so I keep my age hidden), but when talking with someone who knows my real age, I'm continuously connecting different dates to paint a picture. And that feels good. Something like, "Back in June of 1990... and on April 6, 1998... and in 2012, because in November 2004 this happened. And it's an amazing feeling how such disconnected dates instantly creates a complicated concept. Not the dates themselves, but the things that I'm referring to that happened on those dates. Just so much associations that the brain makes instantly in a pool of memories.

I would say I have 5% of these people's memory. And I base that on some of their flaws and tendencies. Perhaps I have a sligtly larger than most caudate nucleus.

I don't know much about chess, but I can see just from your outstanding vocabulary that your IQ far exceeds 78 (such that you can form words correctly), and that you can even drive a car correctly.
