Hi! I’m the cartoon shark that normally appears on Xe’s blog, but I’ll be along for the ride to introduce additional side context. Things faded naturally as people graduated, but Hamachi continued to be one of the most useful pieces of software I had ever used. My friends and I were able to play games for all the years I was in college. There was firewall hole punching, as well as an array of relay servers as a fallback.

While I was there, I got introduced to a tool called Hamachi that we used in order to keep playing games like Minecraft, StarCraft (Brood War), and Age of Mythology together over winter and summer breaks. It was full of nerds, and we had file shares and LAN parties every weekend. It was quite possibly one of the most interesting places I’ve ever lived.
