Well I don't know where to begin mostly because I didn't really have a firm beginning. I started by playing quake 3 demo as a benchmark for computer builds. I would load up a demo and record fps rates and then goof around in a online server for a while. Eventually I discovered I really like playing rail freeze and somehow found myself playing it a few times a week, then every day, then all the dam time. I would never really use the same name just go by random stuff, "glass", "&", "unnamedplayer". As time passed I had gotten to play with this one guy a lot and really liked his style of playing so for whatever reason I decided to mimic his name Supernoob and go by Meganoob.

As I played more I got better and eventually I started to get requests to join clans. I turned them all down until eventually I broke down and joined one. My first clan was And1, some guy out of nowhere asked me to join it, why not I didn't have any reason not to anymore. We had a few matches but it never really went anywhere so I stopped wearing the tags and name.

At this point I was knee deep into the demo scene, playing on 100mit and out of nowhere it was gone. Going through withdrawals at this point was searching for any active server and found oNu(2). I played often, got to know migs and Hicap and some of the other oNu's. I really respected them until I found out Hawk was using modified .pak files to hear bells for footsteps. This crushed me as I admired the skills he had and then found out about cgame and scripting railjumps, 180 turns, and my competitive nature was shattered for a few days. Being a demo only player I though we were on all equal terms and here I was the noob of the bunch. It started something, a fire that I could be just as good without the tools to assist me. The got some community backlash and set the server to pure mode but left in cgame.

Somehow I got to the top of the VSP charts for oNu(2) and applied to oNu hoping they see my skills now that the server was set to pure mode. I was shot down pretty quick, saying it was a slow week on the server haha. Unfazed I was determined to get in when they started to recruit players like thevillegenoob, Godl1ke and turborailqueen. Now don't get me wrong they are great players but it started some inner turmoil in the what seemed as a rock solid group. I don't know what the deal was but Godl1ke left oNu and created something called o2o

. This was amazing to me, A guy at the top of the foodchain left to make something... better? Interested? you bet I was. He grabbed up some grade A talent too, Jedi, Asp!r!n both joined him and proceeded to rock some matches. So of course I ask to join up as well, but I got denied. They were going for AAA status and I was at best AA. For a few solid weeks I played with asp!r!n asking to join and he eventually challenged me to beat him in 1v1 for the spot. My hands were stupid sweaty that match but some how. SOME FUCKING HOW. I beat him, by 1. He talked with godl1ke and they must have come to an agreement and let me in. I'm pretty sure Jedi wasn't pleased me being a noob and all but slowly I gained their trust and we were kicking all sorts of ass. There were days where oNu was on one team and o2o

was on another and all you would see was our names going back and forth for 1st pace the whole match. Yes they always somehow ended up on top by a few kills but dam o2o

was looking good. I somehow make it to co-leader as godl1ke dropped off to focus on real life stuff and asp!r!n took the helm. More ass kicking, we play lots of scrims at this point, my girlfriend hates me because i'm playing this stupid jumping game so much. So what do I do? I get her to play it too, and she likes it. In fact shes pretty dam good after I kill her enough times. By this time oNu(2) is long gone and slackshack/dev1ance.net is the new TDM king. o2o

is doing really well and were playing in tourneys I even make it in the opening credits of a quake video "Noghost Revolution".

Real life is knocking on my door and I start to use o2o

as a training ground for stuff. Building the website and working with imaging software I build up my skills and slowly faze out of quake but never leaving the community. I made it into scrims when I could but never joined in any wars/tourneys as my skills were now at exceptional levels but not the master once was. I watched the team shift and change over the years but somehow the core was always the same, a bunch of people who had enormous talent but always kept the fun aspect intact. My legacy is keeping the memory we have had together intact because we have poured thousands of hours into this game and community. That's not something I can let go of.

I forgot quite a bit and skipped over a few things about my journey but it all ends the same. I played the game without cgame for as long as I could before I caved in at the end. It didn't even make me a better player, if anything it made me lazy. Somedays I think about picking up a railgun again but it will never be the same. If I ever get a time machine you can bet your ass i'm going back and loading up oNu(2) in the quake 3 demo for some frags.

It's amazing how this thread can bring back so much nostalgia. I'm really glad you decided to join in on story time Mega Very Happy

I haven't seen you on steam at all lately so I'm assuming you've been working hard as ever. I'd just like to thank you for keeping up this site so we can all have a way to communicate with people from our past.

@Whody - Steam is an online game distribution platform run by Valve, the company who made Half Life and Counter Strike, and these days I use it as a messenger to keep in contact with gaming buddies.

http://store.steampowered.com/ If you visit this website there is a download link at the top right of the webpage. You'll obviously have to sign up for an account but registration is free.

Heh, sometimes I wish I could go back to those days while being a bit older and more knowledgeable than I was just to play some of the other pros that still existed.

By the way, I don't mind adding more folks here to my steam account if anyone is ever up for some game. Steam has a lot of nice cheap sales and I often love picking up on them when I see things that are just a total steal.

I really enjoyed reading the stories, brings back old times lol. Anyway, It got me to share my reflections on the past.

I started playing the demo in April of 05, the first server I found was MDK clans, it was usually well populated and I liked the 20 person limit, there was Texas Hell Freeze but Ill get to that in a minute. MDK server would frustrate me because good players from clans loNu, UE, . o2o

. Etcused to always be playing and I wanted to get
Texas hell freeze was a disaster, 32 players always onand I actually used to camp this server alot andlaugh at the frustrations of others, plus there was always this really good player who would camp, used fucked up names and use the visor taunt often and it really cracked me upand I would play along

I didnt really play for clans until 07 and the first clan I tried for was #1, then at the time eRa and then finally here. After the clan disbanded around 09 I just played for myself. Playing alot of a/w on pills server or playing 1v1. I still had food memories of the scrimmages with other clans or even getting Zeinth from eRa to camp the rocket room with me.

If you were one of those asshole campers who constantly camped me, fuck you! Also, not sure if it's the same person but I remember a Visor who would constantly camp that server and never stop taunting. He really pissed me off. But that was the charm of Texas!

Portal wars were THE SHIT.

Cannot believe I found this just browsing some old Quake 3 stuff. Good to see some familiar faces in here. It's sad we cannot go back to all the good times over again. I remember joining . o2o

. for awhile, leaving -UE-. Good to see you guys still rocking it. If anyone plays quakelive, feel free to message me your username on there. I would tell you my story, but I do not have enough time right now. Hope to see some replies at least.
