I’ve been getting flashbacks of the first times me and my old buddy’s got together and had LAN party’s. It was the time Counter-strike first came out, and it hadn’t even gotten to version 1.0, only beta version. Playing all days and nights, maybe sleep a few hours and then start playing again. Eventually we moved the partys over to my house, and had my room and the garage occupied with computers and wires. One network cable connected the 2 rooms, and one time, in the middle of a match the network went down. The cause for this was Hugo, who had bitten of the network cable connecting the 2 rooms.
And the constant problem of agreeing and finding games that would run on every computer so all guys could join. It was our big time of nerd-dom. But damn it was fun! I really miss it. Every new first-person shooter were set to the test, to see if it was worth playing multiplayer.
Last week I talked to one of moms co-workers, that play alot of FPS with some guys, and it reminded me of the good old times. I asked if I could join them and play, so now I’m trying to get back in shape with all the new FPS’s out there, Battlefield 2 and Call of Duty 4. I own Call of Duty 4 on Playstation 3 and I really got hooked! So now I have to buy it for the PC to. I’m thinking of buying a new computer, when I get a new job that is. So many new games to play, Crysis, Gears of War, Unreal Tournament 3, Blacksite Area 51 and Call of Duty 4.
And it would be a blast to have an old-school Lan-party to! Just be some guys (and garls) and play all night and day. Just look at this photo from one of our party’s:
Those were the good old days!
CS, StarCraft, Red Alert1… That was the sh*t!
