Nothing will ever match the feelings when you were young and things were new. It’s easier to accept that than face the constant disappointment trying to recapture it.

2 Tylenol PMs is stronger feeling than anything

Anticorp,

Not even close…

Katana314,

Y’all say that, but anytime someone makes even a decent approximation of an Ace Attorney game, I’m out here chasing the high of pointing out contradictions that pin a killer.

So what is stopping them from doing it today?

I still have plenty of LAN parties, and PLAY local multiplayer as well.

joe_cool,

Yeah, I played a round of Virtua Tennis on the couch with 3 friends and beers this week all in our late 30s. Was a blast!

LAN party is next saturday with about 70 people.

This was definitely a Babylon Bee article. Can’t tell if they made it or just copied it from reddit. If they originated it, best Babylon Bee article by a long shot.

It was quake3 but I get the feeling.

I actually never ran into that much toxicity with MW2. A little trash talk but not much cringe.

I think this was the kind of thing that happened when someone in the lobby started it first and let the losers feel like they weren’t alone.

PraiseTheSoup,

To me the most toxic part of og MW2 was all the cheaters. I played mostly free-for-all but you saw it in TDM as well. Two guys sitting in the bushes using “tactical insertion” to kill each other over and over and rack up killstreaks. It pissed me off that they never patched it out or even acknowledged the fact that nobody ever used tactical insertion for anything but cheating.

metallic_substance,

You absolutely did not have the typical MW2 experience then

Jesus Christ this hits home. We used to link 4 xbox, from the basement to the 2nd story. My parents, extatic that I was interacting with other people, would order bottomless pizza and soda, and kids WAY outside of my social tier would show up and be nice to me. Then, on Monday, I’d just go back to being the weirdo nerd again…

blanketswithsmallpox,

Yeah but at least you got to touch Becky’s tit and make out with her that one time. So at least you had that going on for you… Which is nice.

stoicmaverick,

Hell no! OTHER dudes got to touch Becky’s tit and make out with her in MY bedroom while I was diligently standing overwatch with a sniper rifle on Sidewinder in the living room.

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:

If you’d like to play you may wish to join &/or reply to that user and share the Discord I found with 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

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

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)

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

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'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.
