My crappy basement apartment with my two older brothers and 3 separate phone lines just for playing Ultima Online, then Everquesst.
I missed a phone interview with Sony Online Entertainment, because I was too busy playing Asheron's Call to get off the dial-up connection. Having an unlimited access plan through my work really was bad. Especially when my job blocked every website based on my job searches because they wanted me to stay working the support line graveyard shift.
