Like almost a decade ago, paul and I used to play this game called Day of Defeat. It was a half life mod, one of the original WW2 style multiplayer FPS games (alpha released in 2000). We loved it. I definitely played it much more than counter strike. It required more teamwork, more strategy, and it was more fun (i.e easier to kill someone with a spade than it was to kill someone with a knife in CS)!
well we became regulars on this sever called the Knights of the Round Table. (http://www.kortclan.com) We played regularly for I think about a year maybe two until our life got consumed in WoW. then we stopped playing much. Steam was uninstalled to make room for the ridiculous file size requirements WoW patches needed....
BUT, these friends were never forgotten and crossed our minds once in a while... I kept forgetting to go back and say hi... until last week.
It had been 6 years. They remembered us. Its kind of crazy to think that we still do not know each other in real life, but they welcomed us like old friends, saying hey, how are ya, and one line that shall be etched into my mind forever...
"Woaaah. I haven't seen that tag since a headshot since I was what... 17? How's it going?"
Its good to be a gamer.
