This is the story of two childhood buddies that lost touch over the years and how Starcraft II, a long-awaited sequel to a game that consumed many hours of my generation's teen years, brought them back together.

With him working on starting a family, and with me moving to a different city. We drifted apart, working on our respective lives.

And then the old friend surprised him with a copy of the game at his doorstep, along with a note.
