<div class="IPBDescription">This is mine, what's yours?</div> I know i've only just started another topic, but hell, i'm very talkative (and annoying) tonight.
After writing about TFC in that last thread, i started to remember what my first days in online gaming were like. I think the first game i ever played online was Counter Strike (so i'm not exactly old school quaker), but i got owned too easily on it. So i went to TFC, as it seemed an easier option.
TFC, believe it or not, used to have a fantastic community. Almost every person was very nice, you could have a laugh while gaming because they knew what a lot of people seem to have forgotten nowadays: It was a game, they're playing it to have fun. Hell, even the hardcore clanners had a laugh in game. This is going to sound like one of the corniest lines i've ever, ever said, but it was honestly like i'd found where i belonged.
I've never been a very active/physical person. And even when i used to do this football training thing, i was never very good at it and i still put weight on. I'd never been in any clubs, and although i was far from the most un-popular person in the school, i lived about 5 miles away from my actual school, which meant i only had 3 people in my street i could play with, and none of them went to my school. So i never really felt as if i belonged anywhere before.
When i started playing though, and i learned all of the lingo (lol, ffs, omg etc... which i actually learned on VP - Virtual Places, which was like a chat-netowrk thing), i felt like i was finally in somewhere surrounded by people i liked and liked me.
Once i got good at TFC, and i learned about Clans, i started looking for a clan myself. I eventually joined {R.I.P} as their lead sniper (i was the only person who was the dedicated sniper), and we had some fun with that. Then i broke away and formed my own clan, which was where i met Cartman2b (who i'm still friends with today), although [TDS] (the deadly sins) never really went anywhere, and Cartman opened up a CS division, but that turned out to be -=C.B.S.=- or something, which i co-lead. That was a fairly large clan, although one person joined and ruined the whole thing. He gave us a bad name, he lied about meetings/practices to all the other members and generally pwnt us good until we disbanded.
So, after the whole CS thing went **** up, i went back to TFC. I was quite shocked if i'm honest. I must have only been gone about 2-3 months, yet everything was different. The people were horrible (and i was still going on the same servers/communities etc), i was crap at the game again, so i had to re-pracice and refine my skills again. While i found a small dedicated core of people that i used to know and play with a lot, i enjoyed myself again, but not nearly as much as i first did.
I eventually got fed up with the general lame-ness of the TFC community, and i went on to DOD. On my travels, i met a small community based around the clan |.RaDoX.|. I loved all the members, they were fantastic. I learned many skills off them that i still use today, and i generally homed my skills in FPS as a whole. I also began to enjoy myself again, as much as i did when i first started playing TFC.
Although i was very happy with DOD, i was coerced into a game of CS with Cartman2b, and, well, we all know how addictive CS can be. I began to split my time more or less evenly between the two, enjoying myself more in DOD, but knowing that i wanted to be better in CS. Then DOD 3.1 came out. My first game of 3.1 was a para map, and, well, i hated every last bit of it. So i stopped playing. It wasn't like i'd abandoned |.RaDoX.| however, as there were two divisions of the clan, a CS div and a DOD div, and many of the members played both games, so i still saw a lot of them. It was about this time that the powers that were in |.RaDoX.| (well, i remember that they were something to do with Radox, i can't remember if they were actually members or close friends of the leaders) started to form a little thing called "Jarhedz". You may have heard of it. I was there at the beginning of Jarhedz, although i wasn't a very active member on the forums and such (these are the first forums where i've exceeded 100 posts, aren't you all lucky), and i'm amazed at how far they've come along for a non-profit organisation.
Anyway, i got bored with all the people of CS. Although i loved the people i played with regularly, i got a bit peeved with the more public players, and hardcore clanners who never seemed to miss a shot, but if you killed them you were automaticly a hax0rz. So i started playing DOD again, and once i got used to the para maps, i was happy again. And all was well. Then NS came out, and i loved it. I also tried TFC again, but frankly, i was disgusted with the people on there. I used to love the people and love the game, but now it's a chore just to put up with the people and play the game.
My first impression of NS was me playing on a crap monitor, the night it was released. My computer could handle about 5 FPS, i was tired, and i was having other problems with my computer. Joev was the commander, and i got lost, and Joev started shouting at me a lot <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> . I had to quit the game when i dropped down a ladder and got chomped on by a skulk. However, i knew i'd be back to it at some point. 2 weeks later, after getting over the immense emotional shock of Joev screaming at me down the mic (heheheh), i joined another game, this time as aliens. All was going well, except this time i went Onos, rushed in (again with joev screaming at me, man, he must hate me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )and got stuck on a turret farm (a proper, 1.02 turret farm) and knifed to death. But this time i didn't quit, i just joined in with the laughter and blocked out the "Oh dear God... sticky... you noob" from joev.
Then 4.0 came out for DOD, and i've been a solid NSer since.
That's it really, my entire history of gaming compressed into a relatively small post. it's not a very interesting one, but i wanted to know other people's, and i figured "show me yours and i'll show you mine" worked well here. Anyway, there must be some people who were around when Quake was released or something, so, come one!

come on! make more of an effort! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Not counting old games (Mainly because I forgot them), I first got started into multiplayer gaming in CS. Back when it was new. Mainly because I actually had a halfway decent connection then (Still lousy compared to today).
Terrible game. I swear that game almost made me quit online gaming for good. Worst. ****. Ever. Believe it or not at one point I had a massichistic moment and played CS again, then remembered why I hated it. Found a hack site, loaded up some C-Strike hacks, went in, and proceeded to type in all caps 'I R TEH r3333t OMG U SUK LOALAOAOAORORLOFLRCO NUBLAR' (As I went invisible and proceeded to kill things).
I got into TFC then, lots of good fun. I was a badass soldier (Which helped me in the future). I'd rocket people out of midair that were conc-jumping across... damn what's it called... had the moats, with green water and a gate you had to detpack open... and a little bunkery thing in the middle... anyway, I played that obsesively for a few years, got to be a total **** on the rats_dm map... just layed down detpacks in the middle of a crowded room. That was fun.
I quit half-life for a while.. and had kinda a limbo year. Not much online gaming.
Then I got tribes 2. Good fun, I was a crack shot with a spinfusor thanks to TFC (Told you). played that and it's mods up until a few months ago, even made my own mod. Never did get totally finished with it.
Then I got NS, still playing it. Played some Renegade, then I realized how astronomically stupid and unbalanced that trash is.
Between playing NS I played Soldier of Fortune 2. It's a bit like counter-strike, but less 'twitch' gaming, better graphics... I'm not sure, it's just like counter-strike for people that hate counterstrike. No stupid 'money' system. Anyway, I got into a clan on there and never had time to dedicate to it. Was always at the absolute top of the kill lists every single game. Kinda grew bored of that, though. I think I'm still on the OGL roster too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Never played any online RTS games... Total Annihilation against my friends aside.. I just don't think they're much fun when you're fighting people.
Ooh sorry, Starcraft, my favorite online game was Bunker Wars, because I was so damn good at it.
Ooh I'd have to say my first multiplayer experience was a brief, 2 minute stint of Duke Nukem 3D with my friend. Wherupon AOL instnatly killed the connection. So I quit.
OMG! I totally forgot about Kali. But yea I did play doom TCP/IP with friends. Though that didn't happen much because we both only had 14.4 modems LOL.
*Edit*
OMG! I just remembered heat.net. I used to play warcraft 2 on there constantly... that actually started before quake now that I think of it.... I think.
I don't know where to start.... Hmm.... TFC I think... then CS... then DoD and NS which don't suck and I stuck with them. That's just HL.
<li>various Atari games got me started
<li>SMB and Zelda got me hooked
<li>Nintendo sent me dragon warrior FOR FREE and got me forever hooked on RPGs
<li>multiplayer Doom via direct 9600 baud modem connection was my first foray into PVP FPS gaming... there was no turning back...
<li>QuakeWorld and TeamFortress are probably where I spent more hours gaming than any other game since. I played mainly as an engineer because being an HPB on like a 14.4 modem didn't let me get to accurate...
<li>went to a computer camp for a week or two when I was about 13 and played Duke Nukem 3D on the network... they had to drag me from that camp kicking and screaming.
<li><a href='http://www.realmserver.com/' target='_blank'>The Realm</a>, then owned by Sierra, was my first MMORPG... before that, sierra had one of the first monthly subscription online gaming services (the ImagiNation Network), and I got hooked on this sweet graphical MUD in it, but it was 1991 and I was 11, and my mom didn't wanna pay for it...
<li>moved on to half-life and TFC, and then Action HL... sorta skipped counter-strike -- always found it kinda bland and i could never really compete with the good people...
<li>MUDed in <a href='http://www.medievia.com' target='_blank'>Medievia</a> for about three years -- accumulated 4k hours of in-game time =x
<li>here I am playing NS and GunBound, occasionally delving into some old games like Alpha Centauri and Fallout, and hoping I can buy a new computer to play HL2 when it comes out =P
</ul>
I left out many non-multiplayer games, like all the Final Fantasies and Ultimas, because I didn't want the list getting TOO long... but, suffice to say, for as long as I could talk, I've been a gamer. =P
edit: what IS the name of that TF map?? it ruled... not as much as The Rock tho =P
TFC - DOD - CS - DoD - NS - SC - FA - NS - CS
If we're talking offline gaming too, then (computers and principal games):
ZX-81 (some wireframe flight sim I can't remember the name of)
BBC-B and BBC Master (Repton games, Revs, Elite)
Amiga A500 and A1200 (Cannon Fodder, Frontier, Monkey Island)
486 DX-66 (UFO: Enemy Unknown, X-Wing, Tie-Fighter, Dune 2)
K6-2 350, Celeron II 400, and PII 450 (Half-Life, Rogue Spear, UT, Fallout)
Athlon 2.4GHz (current crop of luvverly games)
Well. Let's see. Freshman year of highschool, about 4-5 years ago I started playing games online. The first game I ever played was Rainbow Six: Eagle Watch. I got very good with the M16/M4 and the G36. My name was Sniper Zero for the "Streets" map and Hunter Zero for other maps, in which I got very (and I mean very very very) good with the shotguns. Then I found the NATO v2.0 pack for R6 and I fell in love with many of the guns. I continued to play R6:EW fanatically, until Christmas of that year. a CD-burner. Then my friend let me borrow Half-Life. I fell in love. Immediately I became addicted to CS (pre 1.0). I was horrible at first, then I learned the joys of 5.x Fabrique Nationale Project 9.0 (P90). pop pop pop goes the terrorists/counter-terrorists when I'd rush into a room firing my p90. Then I waited three weeks when 6.0 came out. Eventually I caved and DL'ed it. Six hours. Then I got good with the mp5/m3/xm1014. Oh my god, I was able to finally pull off insane things like 15/7 scores. On a 56k. I played on the [LCD] Server until I updated my server list and it went bye-bye. So then I played intermittently. Then finally my friend got cable internet and downloaded for me Day of Defeat 1.3B. I played DoD_Hill and only DoD_Hill. Life was good. then I pretty much quit DoD/CS and I became an AHL'er. Now, with CS my ping on a good server averaged 400-500. DoD 350-600. AHL 200-300. I became obsessed with it. I joined the clan [DHR] in my heyday. We were all friends through the guy Smeerkat, had so much fun. I was an admin at my favorite server (Havocnet). Then 5.0 came out. Curse all forms of AHL then. 5.0 sucked. It sucked more then a...you get the point. Then I quit online gaming except for the Holy Mother (StarCraft). Then I got broadband. Tried AHL again. It sucked. Tried CS again. It sucked. Tried DoD again. it sucked. Played the Holy Mother to death, where I could do 120 Hydralisk rush in 10 minutes on BGH custom games. Then life redeemed itself with the year-ago release of Natural Selection. I have dabbled in CS since Steam but since NS came out, I have played it whenever my computer could run it. Had to tweak it to get 15 FPS. but when I think about how much Flayra changed my online gaming, I bless him, his mother, his father, his family and the great community that has made me want to buy/get HL (I lost my CD. WAA!) so I can play the 2.1 NS. or if he fixes it for Steam, NS 2.x.
Bless all forms of games, for they are great.
That's really about it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
PS: you are all punks.
We're Teenangster's.
I started with Doom and my sister's pc. She moved out and got my very own pc(Gateway 2GBHD,64MB ram,15"monitor,1GHZ and can you believe that was 1000$) at age 12.
At 13 someone told me about Counter-Strike..So i go out and buy CS. I played that for years then i found mods then i found the best game ever...NS.
After discovering CS i bought HL,BF1942,Freelancer,Halo,Call of Duty,Max Payne1(1 week after i bought cs) and Max Payne2. I played alot more games just cant remember.
NS is the only game I've played for so long and actually got good at.
~stretches and starts typing~
Back at the very young and super-small age of 5 my uncle decided to give me his old TV game machine... we're talking the easiest introduction to gaming ever; a joystick and 1 button <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I found myself playing stuff like pong on it quite a lot and my mum (parents had broke up) noticed it too and went out to surprise me with my first 'proper' games machine. I looked at the big box they brought in curiously only to find inside was a treasure trove of gaming delight: a big bad Commodore C64 with lots of funny buttons on this thing that was called a 'keyboard' and even more game tapes than there were keys.
From that point on my childhood was full of not only the joys of playing with my friends/pets/parents but also the wonderous hours of brain-scratching screeching and epileptic loading screens... oh and the games =3
Move a couple of years on, throwing in being shown what gamesworkshop was about by my next door neighbour's new punk step-dad (he had a green mohawk and wore leather and chains most of the time but he was a really nice guy) and I'd graduated to an amiga. Between that and going around to my friend's houses to play their spectrums while grabbing a few new games ~cough~ it was a fun old time... but then... I had my first meeting with sega o.O
At a friends birthday party he got out the pads to his new sparkly machine and booted it up. The graphics made us all sit back and gawp. It was beautiful... it was alex the kidd. Needless to say I got a NES after that and we'd go around each others houses to play the 2 different consoles and as years rolled on it changed to me with my SNES and my friend with the megadrive, including 1 stay over that eventually went on to last 5 days and was filled with non-stop bubble-bobble/4x4 racing action on the NES interspersed with some F-zero and Streetfighter 2 on ye SNES XD
Another skip in years including much playing of gunstar heroes, zelda, mario, probotecter, the sonic series and other such fun memories and we arrive at the N64 days. I'd already had a few shots of my friends PSX and gotten my first taste of horrible joint pain from it's hellish controllers immediately putting me off along with it's not very nice looking 3D graphics (they got a lot better later but I wasn't too fond of the games it had to offer anyways). With the big black box in hand we had a lot of golden-eye antics mixed in with some amazing F-zero X exploits and whatever else before we finally catch up with PCs ^^;
By now I was in my early/mid-teens and getting used to my new step-dad. Anyways, we didn't always get on because I thought he was a lazy get and he seemed to think I should do all these tasks for him while he sat on the couch. Once those days passed and we started getting on he decided to take me along while he looked at PCs because he knew I loved games and was kinda curious (people were starting to hand in PRINTED work at school!!! =o ). What happened? the look turned into a buy and though he said it was his PC it ended up being pretty much mine from the start, though I get the impression that's the way it was meant to be anyways ^^
I played some games and stuff but nothing worth much mention as it was a 486 (pretty modern at the time dontcha know, though there were faster speed available for stupidly high prices) and it ran ok. A year with that yielded my next PC which was my Pentium 100. On this lil machine I got my first tastes of the internet though only looking for stuff on the search engines and some very basic chatting on chat room thingies. Outside of that the only things worth mention are stuff like Quake, Red Alert and Duke-nukem 3D amongst other early titles but I don't really remember taking them online.
Fast Forward some more and we hit my Pentium 2 800Hz machine which was my first, full-on online experience with such delights as Alien vs Predator, Mechwarrior (2 or 3 I don't remember), Unreal Tournament and of course... Half-life =D
my HL experience started with some super-sniping and running about on ye olde HL Deathmatch on such classic maps as crossfire and bootcamp and stuff. When I went to university and took my machine with me my flatmates found out I was into games (the new dreamcast I dragged with me from christmas was a dead give-away) and introduced me to some of the mods, from Science and Industry through Counter-strike when we weren't smacking heck out of each other on Soul Calibur that is =3
Anyways, I've rattled on too much already so... um... I move with some of my flatmates, get hooked on PSO, more soul-calibur (we play it constantly for 3-4 years basically), one flatmate leaves, new one comes in, more soul-calibur, uh... lots of games mixed in there including an import of Soul Calibur 2 and finally Natural Selection. The End <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I missed out lots of stuff including my first MMO exploits, my time playing the Atari Jaguar/Lynx and the 3DO thingy but I don't have all week to write this and you don't have that much time to be bored reading it either so nyeah <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Hope I didn't send too many of you to sleep ^^;
After the BBS went down I finally got an internet connection and started playing on Kali, along w/ Duke3D, Warcraft 2, and Command & Conquer.
Never got to try DWANGO though as it was a long distance phone call... bleh.
I started on Unreal Tournament and had some good giggles, then hopped over to Counterstrike, wherin I co-founded a clan that won every game it played. It also, ironically, lost every game we played - never was in a match. After a year or so of that I started Red Alert 2, then got Neverwinter Nights and Warcraft III. I played them profusely until I discovered one day a website named www.natural-selection.org. The night 1.0 was released me and a couple buddies loaded it up and proceeded to get pwned by 1.0 turrent farms. I also dabbled in EverQuest, achieving a level 44 Ranger before realizing that the game was a POS.
Other games I played:
Diablo 2, Age of Empires 1+2, Civilization 1+2+3, C&C Tiberian Sun, Tribes 1+2, Nox, Worms 2, BF 1942 and many more which I forgot.
NB: I dont actually know when I played anything, all I know is that I did.
Listing my whole game experiences up to 'modern' would take way too long, however...
Well before my last post, pc games. I had a:
Atari
NES
SNES
Then on my b-day i got a Sega
Then on christmas i got a Gameboy
Then on my other b-day i was dieing for N-64

Then I could go on a list of games for a loong time, but those are the primary games tht go tme in PC games.
Consoles:
Atari - Pitfall, Space Invaders, MASH, River Raid, some game with subs (always called it the sub game, not sure what it's really called), and many more I can describe but not name.
NES - star with some Mario/Duck Hunt, throw in some Mega Mans, turtles games, **** tracy, zelda..until you get into the later NES games like Mario 3, TNMT 3 and some others. Until my NES broke about 2 months ago I'd play them occasionally. Football...which only had 8 NFL teams, with bare play books and no player names, go 'Football' ! RBI Baseball 3 too I think (maybe 2 or 4). There's some more too.
Genesis - Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, EVERY SONIC GAME....1, 2, 3, S&K, 3D Spinball, and that one other stupid columns wannabe thing, (S&K with 3 still the best game ever, especially with a friend, JP is right up there). Evander Holyfields Real Deal Boxing, aha, came with the system, still very fun; Tecmo Super Bowl 3...Triple Play 97 or something, some Madden's...and some other stuff. Ecco 1 and 2...high quality, but hard, games.
JVC X'Eye (think Genesis with SegaCD but put together as one) - basically counts as a SegaCD, had Sonic CD, Jurassic Park, Dungeon Master 2 (one of the best games ever, but it got all broken and stuff, gotta try and get it for the computer..., took all the RAM on the JVC)...Rise of the Dragon...Joe Montana Football.
SNES - friend had one, has my favorite game ever though, Jurassic Park....yea....also Mario World and some others are cool.
Playstation - ...not really any series I bought on it...Final Fantasy 7 is probably the hall mark...oh, all the Resident Evil games...1, 2 and 3....not the lame Survivor game put out to milk it more though.
N-64 - bought it with mario....rented 007....took it back.
Dreamcast - Soul Calibur...and some other stuff
PS2 - Vice City and red faction...took it back a few months ago.
Xbox - Halo, lots of 4 player games.....Morrowind (computer didn't support it at the time)...GTA double pack...Now that the games are getting cheap it's even better, Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance for $15...you just can't go wrong with that.
Computers:
We had a computer from Mom's friend with some of the games...there was one with a chicken and eggs...I don't remember it all that well. There was also something like Frogger and a Super Mario game.
My aunt had a comp that I could play lemmings on.
1992/3 - I can't even remember the specs on this thing anymore...It needed a boot disk for Sim City 2000...or it'd crash. It ran AOL 3.0. I think it's total Hard Drive space was under 500 MBs...and it was mammoth. less than one MB or RAM if I remember right. It ran Windows 3.1. Colonization worked on it pretty good.
1998 - A new computer, finally, with Windows 98... 500mhz P3, 8 MB ATI Rage Pro Turbo, 17GB hard drive, 128 MB's or RAM...it was awesome when we got it.
Got Army Men (first online game), Sim City 3000, Aliens Versus Predator (online, but it's laggy on 56k...heh), Age of Empire 2 (ahh, the stable 56k action), Civilization. Around 2001 I got Half-Life, mostly because I stumbled onto the Firearms webpage. Eventually found Day of Defeat....and Counter-Strike ...bah, never really played it that much. Then Natural Selection. Wizard Wars and Firearms came first though.
2003 - Get my new pimped out computer that can actually play modern day games....woot me!
My first game I ever played would have to be Oregan Trail, and yes, I purposely killed my family to write funny things on the tombstones.
The first game to get me interested in Gaming was Super Mario Bro's, which is odd because my greastes sin is I HAVE NEVER BEATEN THE GAME!! (I was young, I stopped trying and never got around to it)
My first game to get me interested AND hooked on PC games was the original X-Wing, the one that I still have on 3.5 floppies. The NExt game I believe was the original Sim City, and then wafter that It has been a blur of nothing but game after game after game for about 10 years, then I bought my Xbox, that signified something new I guess.
I rember DOS, I have played ZORK, I remember when Lucas Arts adventure games went from no voices to voices, I remember playing Duke 3D against my cousin by modem (you know, calling his computer). I remember the original Windows trnasferring to Windows 98 (Damn that START button was confusing) I rember not being able to play a game becuase I only had 8MB ram and I needed 16MB. I rember not having a sound card OR a video card, and when you don't play Doom with a sound card, the computer beeps for your to try to impersonate the sound (meaning the Imp grows where a low *beep* sound). I remember when computer DIDN'T come standard with a video card, sound card, or CD player, and I also Remember RESET buttons and TURBO buttons. I remember Going from Wolfensteins 90 degree angle walls to Dooms 360 degrees of angles wall to being able to Jump in Dark Forces to seeing 3D models in Quake. The games industry has made som many leaps and bounds in the past couple of years, its amazing what has changed.
