Shenmue hit me like a bolt from the blue. It was unbelievable for the time — a game that pushed far beyond the boundaries of anything I was used to…

I'm butchering it, sorry Flea and sorry real bassists out there. At least, pushing it for the last two months made me able to play it. Its far from perfect, there's are indecisions and imprecisions along the way, but still a small milestone for me :D

In the decades that followed, time and humidity reclaimed the walls. The plaster peeled away, the floors sank, ivy crept through the windows…
