"The amount of time since everyone there from beginning has started playing UT" can now legally drink in all States. This is both interesting and kinda scary.![]()
But the bots haven't aged a day... what is their secret?
I remember you well Rahl. I was in ISVK with you. I formed ISVK with Sir Fitz and IamI. My name then was Tool-Opiate which I changed to Centaurus when I joined C1 when UT came out. Good to see old schoolers still posting here from time to time. This thread will not die.Ah wow, I was just doing some old school remembering. I played with and against almost everyone on that list. Plenty of nights I played with Eidolon, Sir_Fritz, Entropy. NBK, ISV-K, FYM, BMF, AoD, DD, §FS§, DFA
When I started I was playing on my cousin's Gateway Machine with Dial-up, he used to play alongside Eidolon & Sir_Fritz. Many a night I would stay up playing against players that always kicked my ass.
Got invited to several clans, ISV-K I did a short stint with, then I met up with Magic8Ball and played with him alot as well as Hellraiser, eventually I was like the first one to ever join their clan that was not on a fast internet. Changed my name to §FS§Lord_of_Chao§.
I remember getting the opportunity to play against Overtoad. Even got the rare opportunity to play against game creator Cliffy.B
And probably the best ever moment was when Sir_Fritz was teaching me how to combo on a map that had a bridge that had water on both sides and a hole in the middle that some people would jump into and lob 8 Balls out of. He was chasing me and I jumped into the water and turned in mid-air, did a Combo blast at the bridge as Sir_Fritz was trying to follow me off the bridge and all he saw was the Purple Haze coming out of the water and knowing he was not able to avoid it. Hell I think we laughed over that crap for 5 minutes
Then one day many games, servers, and players later, I managed to ask Slut how in the hell he was managing the ASMD Combo on the move and sideways. He taught me. My love for the ASMD became almost as much as the FLAK Lob shots from distance that I enjoyed using Jump Boots. Almost.
"Put that in your pipe and §moke it!!"
I can remember the days of aliasing under different names to have some fun.
Old names I went by in case anyone remembers the great times: A§MD_JunKie_Sir_Flak_Alot
Hi!Wow, I just went through this thread by accident... got nostalgic and thought I'd lookup some familiar names from back in my UT 99 days, and here I go down the rabbit hole on this thread! I still remember staying up late at night with my cousin, Dimenion-X-, while we scoured the public servers and our own clan servers looking for fun matches. UT 99 had such a competitive multiplayer community and I ended up falling in love with the 1v1 scene. Shout out to some of the 1v1'ers that I had some great times with... OverToad being one of the true OG's that I had some amazing private matches with (hope that's ok that I'm saying that). esca being another that went from good to absolutely great at 1v1. I only attended one lan tournament where I played destrukt for the first time ever and we went back and forth on Deck 16 until he got map control and totally smoked me.
I'll always remember my UT 99 days fondly and all of the nights, at 18 and 19 years old, where I honestly stayed up until the sun started peaking over the horizon. To any of the Old Skool Ut 99 players.. you know that feeling you had when you were about to boot up the game and jump in to see how your aim was that night, or who you were going to run into in IRC. Great times and I don't think there will ever be another twitch shooter like this with such fantastic maps and movement control.
Cheers to all of you that are still looking back like I am after all these years!
