Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Dec 10, 2008 7:17am PSTWhoo, wacky Wednesday. Who knows what will happen! I just hope it's a bit cheerier than yesterday--with all these job cuts and tales of employees going a month or longer without pay, the holiday season is shaping up to be an awfully scary one.

Thinking back on my gaming history, I have no recollection of my first kill in an FPS. I couldn't even tell you what game it would have been. If I had to guess I'd say Quake, but I really have no idea.

Shack, I just found out that the attic I spent about 12 hours in running cable had been abated of asbestos. No mask, no suit. Am I going to die?

During your gaming "career," what games were/are you addicted to the point of not playing anything else?
I had a huge boner for Tribes and played it for hours on end for I don't know how long with my 56k Netzero connection. I would buy a Tribes remake in an instant just to hear "shazbot!" again and see people skiing down mountains and shit. I remember the mods were hella fun with crazy ass maps and rapid fire discs. The aerial battles weren't the most elegant but there was nothing like hitting your enemy mid-air on a poorly calculated descent. There are very few games I say I miss playing late into the night, but Tribes has definitely left a hole that hasn't been filled.
Then I moved onto Counter-Strike, which oddly enough I started playing offline with bots before going online. This was also an all-night affair several times a week. We rented a server and friend wrote some mods that people fell in love with.
The first one was a duel mod which would lock 2 players into a duel with their pistols only, but knives would be drawn. The familiar wild west music would play with a countdown timer, and at 0 the quickest on the draw typically won.
The second mod which pissed people off royally was the dookie mod. Forget everything you ever thought was funny about tea bagging. With the dookie mod, upon killing someone you could go up and take a shit on their corpse, and a small turd would drop on their dead body. If you headshotted the guy you'd drop a MONDO CLEVELAND STEAMER and the screen would shake and shit would go flying everywhere. It was fucking hysterical as you could take multiple dumps and keep piling turds on the corpse.
God I miss playing these games. They'd be pretty much the only game I would touch, and I don't think my playtime on anything else has even come close to the two games I mentioned above. Now everything's so good and I feel like I have ADD switching from one game to the next and hardly ever really finish them.
