In the comments section of a YouTube video called, "Can Video Games be a Spiritual Experience", user OOWARTHERAPY00 told this story.
These are his exact words.
Well, when I was 4, my dad bought a trusty Xbox.
You know, the first, raggedy, blocky one from 2001.
We had tons and tons and tons of fun playing all kinds of games together until he died when I was just 6.
I couldn't touch that console for ten years.
But once I did, I noticed something.
We used to play a racing game, Rally Sports Challenge.
Actually pretty awesome for the time it came.
And once I started meddling around, I found a ghost. Literally.
You know, when a timed race happens, that the fastest lap so far gets recorded as a ghost driver?
Yep, you guessed it. His ghost still rolls around that track today.
So I played and played and played until I was almost able to beat the ghost.
Until one day I got ahead of it, I surpassed it, and...
I stopped right in front of the finish line, just to ensure I wouldn't delete it.
Bliss.
