Oldies but goodies

[:/ lil face]

*walking in the cabin by the help of a cane, hips creaking like an old wooden chair, breaking wind by accident as I fall into to the old naugahyde recliner* I too came from playing years of CS, subconsciously welcoming anything new and refreshing to replace the stale first person shooter Mod that I had once loved so much, but I had grown bitter due to all the mass hacking that had consumed the wholesomeness of CS, it just wasn't fun anymore. When I started playing RC, I didn't go back to CS, not even for a game, I'd lost the desire. I liked RC right off the bat. Maybe it was partially due growing up in the Tron era, but mostly because it was fun as hell and no hacks (I've just read that is changing). Ahh the fond memories of KAH servers. I remember updated my servers and seeing one of the KAH servers close to where I lived. I used to make jokes and ask questions like "Hey where is this server? In my ass? Oh ok that explains the low ping." I felt so privileged, I'd never found a server that offered me such a low ping. I don't know where that server was located, but it had to be in the Pacific NW somewhere. I can remember my ping being around 30 on average, and as low as 14 on a very rare occasion. That is where I first befriended Jabba, my first RC friend, wondering what was up with his name, thinking he must be some twisted individual to mutate a Star Wars name, especially something from Return of the Jedi of all movies. I liked him and began looking for his familiar handle as well as others like Antix (Powered by God) when I'd log on. When I first began to play, I was going by a slue different names like CrazyLegs, Percocet, SouthColumbianDrugLord and then switched to Terrorizer. I too worshipped players like Willy Wanka, Gemakk, Sinbon and watched good players at the time grow into RC masters, Beastie, RWS, acid. When I changed my handle to TrOma is about the time APS was disintegrating and KAH was on the verge of disappearing. I stayed anonymous to most with the exception of a few with my name. I was famous for telling people to stop in game, wanting to show them a new trick walking up to him and decapping him or telling him I'd brb and waiting until they were unfocussed and off guard, then decapping them and consequently getting quite a little kick out of it. After being nailed a few times, Jabba had grown wise to my sneakiness and decided to pay me back.
One day, he and I were in game and I told him brb, I had to go AFK for a second to go pee or something, which I really did at the time. When I sat back in my chair, looking at the monitor, I didn't see Jabba anywhere. It was odd, thinking he had left the game of possibly just fallen off the platform. Just as I put my hand on the mouse...KACHING, off went my head! Jabba laughed as he typed to me telling me he was waiting behind me, until he saw movement to kill me. He could have just killed me while I was AFK, but no, he waited to kill me in person. He got me pretty good I have to admit, but not too long after that, might have been that same game, I went AFK again. When I came back, again, Jabba wasn't in site anymore, he was trying his little trick again! I was almost insulted, him thinking I'd fall for something like that twice, but on the other hand, no matter how what I did to escape the decap, I couldn't. Jabba was sitting there, watching for my slightest movement to kill me again. As I sat there contemplating, I knew if I didn't hurry, Jabba would grow impatient and decap me soon...and that's when the light bulb came on, I'll distract him and get him to type. Without touching the mouse, I typed something to the nature of "Hey Jabba guess what?" and gave him a few seconds to start typing a response which I'm positive he had began. Hoping my plan had worked, I turned around with out warning and fired a decap at Jabba...KACHING, off went his head. And I begin to laugh and banter.
Some of my friends look at me funny if I even mention the game, they probably think I'm a computer nerd, but I don't really care what they think. RC and playing with you all makes me happy. I've met some terrific people in RC (shout out to all my homies, you know who ya are) and honestly feel like part of a little family. *gives everyone a big hug* *squeezes GRITS's bottom*;)
I'm not at all sad that RC isn't popular, perhaps I enjoy escaping to the intamacy of our little RC world. I find it very unique that something as fun as this has stayed contained and pure.
Reading these posts before hand made me laugh out loud because we're some of us are so nostalgic about things and it hasn't even been too long ago, but regardless, I had to contribute. That's what the older members in the tribes do, tell stories to all the young ones, the nooblings.
