Do you ever wonder why we’re here?

Possible_EmuWrangler,

It’s one of life’s greatest mysteries.

Nope, work your way up to a heroic dose of magic mushies and the universe/god/cosmic conciousness practically screams it in your face and spells it out for your retarded depressed monkey brain. You’re here to have fun, experience new things, bask in the sunlight, and to be a unique one-of-a-kind being woven into the tapestry of reality. A unique stich patterned by your particular mental emotional complexities and life experiences, never to be replicated again ever. Our existence is both an artistic expression, a unique fingerprint in spacetime, as well as a playful avatar of the universe feeling itself out.

But thats just like, my opinion man

For me it was warcraft. I just bought and assembled my NZXT Vulcan rig and I think that LAN party was the peak of my existence.

Nothing will ever touch those 16 person LANs for me in Blood Gulch.

stoicmaverick,

I liked ctf on sidewinder because the lines of sight are so long, a 3 point game could last like 2 hours.

For me it was Black Ops 2 zombies mode on LAN XBox 360s hooked together. Shouting to other players across the hallway.

TWeaK,

By the time BLOPS came out Activision had stolen the zombie mod from modders and then denied mods for the games so they could sell maps (which were worse than the ones the modders made).

This was after they literally had security escort the founders of Infinity Ward out of their own studio for publicly complaining that they hadn’t been paid the agreed royalties for the original COD:MW2.

Doesn’t stop me from having fond memories. I’m not going to retroactively change how I felt with my friends.

For me it was Nintendo 64, Goldeneye sleepover party. Pure, unbridled, unadulterated happiness. A time with what felt like genuine acceptance and kindness.

I still dream about those parties. We would gather in the youth centre, supervised, with a digital projector borrowed from the school (with permission), in sleeping bags, lying on the floor, projecting onto the roof, staying up until 4am…

Slappers only, no Oddjob. ;)

No, usually it was: autoaim off, pistols, one-hit-kills, no Oddjob.

Projecting onto the roof is pure genius!

The youth centre was an old church (that the church had outgrown). So it had a huge white gabled roof at exactly the right angle for comfort. Was a blast

TWeaK,

Goldeneye was classic, but Perfect Dark was always better IMO.

Man, I wish Rare never sold themselves to Microsoft. They tried to get Nintendo involved and start a bidding war, but Nintendo didn’t bite. Conker’s Bad Fur Day is still perhaps my favourite game of all time, all the timely movie references, and the juxtoposition of a cutesy squirrel character actually being a hungover reprobate. I played so much of that teddies v French squirrels on the beach landing multiplayer.

We're all still chasing our fondest video game and other memories. I - god help me - i actually miss the original Harry Potter game for PS1. Yes, that godawful game that nobody could beat because it was unplayable, yet I had fun with it. I'm not sure why I want to put myself through that grind again. There were times I wanted to break the damn console and rid myself of this curse for good.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Diablo 2, Red Alert 2 (YR?), Stronghold, Red Faction…

Man 2001 was an awesome year.

GMod LAN parties. To be fair, I'm sure I could have the same fun now. Only everyone's schedules are different and we can't get together for a good 24 hours of intermittent sleep, play, and loud music.

The fuck happened to us?

Responsibility Isa bitch. Her stripper name is adulthood.

I would give anything to have one weekend of pure gaming with the boys without feeling like I’m neglecting something important.

we need to set up new lan parties and create our own fun

Morrowind player checking in, that game was able to support lan for my entire friend group in high school

grue,

…what? Morrowind isn’t multiplayer!

(Unless you’re talking about this mod for OpenMW, which is relatively new.)

ArmoredThirteen,

I’m talking about my friend group size (at that time)

Old people residences will become fun as the LAN generations enter them!

16 guys in a 10x15 room with two TVs and two consoles. The four highest ranked players swap out so the cannon fodder can improve their skills. Whoever throws a controller first has to buy beer for the rest, and the best player gets shackled with the MadCats controller

For me it was a little known game called ThinkTanks. It was created as a demo for a companies game engine and never got much support. It was a silly little catoon tank game with basic 3D.

The community figured out how to bypass the demo restrictions on the game engine. The game was modded to an insane degree. Thousands of new maps, new game types and objects. I dabbled with it at the time and created around 70 maps personally.

Last I check the original game was someone like 8mb of space. The full mod pack with all of the maps was 2GB

prongs,

Wow you have just unlocked a hidden memory for me. My dad had this game on his Mac G5, and I would play (vanilla) all the time. Back then I thought the internet was small, so when I saw someone online with the name “Will” and thought it was one of my friends from school.

I wonder if there is anyone still playing.

brbposting,

They are:
