Mostly nostalgia... I don't really post these days, but I check by every now and then, see who's around and all that.
Same here. I was here some years before my status indicates and re-signed up in 2008 after a computer rebuild. I wasn't that worried about a start date then.
I visit all my old forums occasionally, there's not that many about, to see it they still live I suppose
Seems most online forums go that way and social media probably to blame.
I fondly remember being early, before opening at the shop the day the original UNREAL was released here. Was that 1998?
I probably had a
sickie from work that day to hurry home and load it up. The awe I experienced at the original opening sequence was indeed memorable. There is only one other 3D FPS that ever came close and that Quake2.
Some may recognize the name/nick as I did critique custom maps on Unreal early in the piece, or was that UT3 (mind fuzzy) before moving to the Quake series.
I still raise my hat to all the mappers out there.
I really frequent only Q3World these days and drop in here probably monthly so I will say cheers all
