What if the tales of your youth could transport you back to a simpler time, filled with video game marathons and epic airsoft battles? Welcome CNY Phil and join us as we share our personal stories of growing up amidst the rapidly evolving world of gaming. You'll hear about Erik's transformation from a PC gamer to an Xbox aficionado, adopting the gamer tag "E-Rock" inspired by a friend's comic book character. We reminisce about our early experiences with classic PC games like Half-Life and Counter-Strike and the online gaming struggles that shaped our teenage years. Plus, we dive into our current adventures with Destiny 2 and the challenges of finding time to game as adults with busy lives.
Imagine discovering airsoft guns in a quaint French toy store as a child and turning those summer vacations into thrilling adventures. We take you through our childhood memories of hunting for these cherished toys during annual visits to our family home in France, sharing the excitement and camaraderie that shaped our friendships. From teenage hairstyles to the early days of social media, we reflect on the unique experiences that defined our adolescence. Rediscover the joy of old hobbies like airsoft and the bittersweet feelings that arise when old friends continue shared interests without us.
Balancing life's responsibilities with passions like airsoft and Star Wars fandom is no small feat. We open up about the personal struggles and triumphs of moving to new states, buying homes, and raising children, all while trying to maintain our interests in these hobbies. Hear our heartfelt stories of transitioning from single life to married life and parenthood, navigating the emotional adjustments and sacrifices along the way.

Ever wondered how a simple hobby could evolve into a full-fledged subculture with its own lingo, legends, and lore? Join us as we navigate the intricate history of Airsoft in the United States, with a special focus on the Northeast's instrumental role in shaping the sport. We promise you'll gain fascinating insights into the challenges of importing gear in the late '90s, the birth of Airsoft forums, and the indelible impact of visionaries like John Liu. From the grassroots communities of New England to the high-stakes national events, discover how the intense and ingenious players from the Northeast have left their mark.

But that's not all—we dive deep into the personal stories and the evolution of Airsoft podcast formats, enriched by my journey as Gordon, or Cobalt, the admin of the Northeastern Airsoft Group. You'll get to explore the rich tapestry of Airsoft events organized by Stag Ops, and the surprising story behind a simple hat labeled "NEST" linked to the Government Training Institute. We touch on everything from the cultural dynamics within the Airsoft community to the intricate process of organizing immersive events that keep participants coming back for more.

And if you think Airsoft is all about the game, think again. We explore the intersections of military experiences, creative pursuits, and even home renovation mishaps—all through engaging anecdotes and captivating stories. Imagine recreating Operation Anaconda in an Airsoft setting or organizing a night mission at Feel Good Farms with former infantrymen. Join us for an episode that blends history, personal experiences, and the nitty-gritty of event organization into a compelling narrative that promises to entertain and enlighten.
