  • Aww man. I’ve tried Eve online for about two years. In the end even got into a C5 and farmed like mad with a carrier and a dread until we got evicted by one of the bigger WH alliances. But could never really get past the carebear mentality of not wanting to lose ships in the end. And that, plus the perceived latency of 1sec game ticks without prediction kind of soured the fun.

    The best that came out of it is that I’ve managed to get my name on the monument, which I’ve then visited in 2018. Coincidentally I’ve signed up to the game using my real name (which I’ve fought multiple times to get changed), so I have my actual name on the slab instead of just a character name in the end.



  • Aww man. I remember playing lots of LAN DN3D in highschool, after hours in the computer lab. Sometimes an idiot kicked out the BBC cable from one of the ring-topology connected PCs by accident, interrupting fun for everybody.

    I used to be a top dog, until some first grader snot nosed kid started playing with M+KB at the same time, sniping all of us keyboard turners with the shotgun on the american football arena map.


  • Games that I have spent an incredible amount of time playing, in no particular order (games where I have noted time, I have played those exclusively without playing any other games):

    • Enter the Gungeon (two years)
    • Master of Orion (& sequels and likes)
    • UFO/TFTD
    • Sim City 2000
    • Command & Conquer (just the first one)
    • Quake World (5 years)
    • Ragnarok Online (5 years)
    • Transport Tycoon Deluxe (& Open TTD)
    • Wizardry 7
    • World of Warcraft (5 years)

    I’d like to mention that there comes a certain point in skill based games like fps and twitchy MMOs, where your character’s movements are so ingrained in muscle memory, your knowledge of the game engines’ ins and outs are so thorough, that even just standing around in one spot you know at any moment what action or reaction is going to happen upon your next few key presses, and you have a hundred percent confidence in executing those without a flaw, if you bothered to lift your finger.

    That’s when you quit, I guess.

    Edit: honorary mention for Fallout 1/2/3/NV, TES3&5, Elite/First Encounter, Syndicate, Starcraft 2, Creatures 1&2, Civilization, Master of Magic, King’s Bounty & HOMM, DOOM 1/2, Scorched Earth/Worms, Diablo 1&2
