    Unfortunately, it's 22 year old me that got transported. Which means that I've played MW4 Mercs and MechCommander 2. That's about it. I haven't dove into the lore or anything yet.

    A few weeks went by and I carried on with the normal routine of my life as I'd found it. I woke up, took care of the farm animals, wrote out the work that needed to be done on the farmhouse for the day, and then drove into New Avalon to work at the Bakery.
