Armored Core was my 3rd PS1 game behind C&C and Jet Moto, if AC didn't exist, I would have stuck with RPGs, Virtual On and Gundam: Renpou vs. Zeon DX by the time the arcade version went up. I would be somewhat more active in the local VO fandom and played Gundam R vs. Z by the years 2001-2006, but would eventually withdraw from the former because they're quite different from the crowd here in RR, since RR people are more in line with my kind, not to mention that the VO fandom is prone to fights because of their multiple "factions". The Gundam game which Octavian and I played had the tendency to attract the best and worst that mankind has to offer (Met Trace through that game, along with other good people, but the game just had the strange ability to attract weirdos and literally, mentally retarded people).
I still won't be playing Tekken or any fighting games, because RR taught me how to play them
. Doc would never have emailed to challenge me in AC. I'd spend more time with Guitar Freaks and try to fit into the local fandom, and might have played RO a bit more. I'd be a sadder person on the month of September 2006 (the month I found out, and subsequently joined RR) because that time was just hard on me. Overall, its quite hard to imagine what it'll be like if AC wasn't there especially because it is instrumental to the establishment of RR, which has been a big part of my recent life.
