I had a buddy who claimed his uncle worked at Microsoft. His uncle had given him the new Windows version called "Chicago" and I was all like "That name ain't Windows 4.0, gettouttahere!"
Turns out he did have an uncle who worked at Microsoft who fed him beta versions of W95 to get an idiot's point of view. I doubt that shit would fly today, preview versions would be leaked like military secrets on the Warthunder forums!
So when another buddy claimed he had an uncle who worked at Nintendo...
It literally was Chicago. That's incredible.
