Ah, Nostalgia …

Those who have known me for a while know that I used to be big into First Person Shooters (FPS). It started out with Quake, then Quake 2, then Half-Life. One day Mr. Jones, one of the co-owners of M.A.G.I.C. at the time and friend introduced me to Tribes. At first I thought it was retarded and hard. As I got to play’n it grew on me, a lot! Eventually I was playing it all the time. Then I heard Tribes 2 was coming out. When 2 came out I played that damn game non-stop for years and was very good at what I did. Eventually I faded outta the game and didn’t play so much. After getting new hardware I had troubles getting it to install correctly. A sad day indeed. When Tribes: Vengance came out, I about bought a plane ticket to where ever the game studio was who put it out to go beat everyone of them senseless. It was the worst piece of shit I have ever played. It just didn’t have the feel of Tribes and more of UT +Z (+z would be vertical axis, aka jet pack). They wanted it to be easier for the losers who couldn’t get the original down. Grrr.

Just recently a buddy of mine got me thinking of playing Tribes (which has been free for some time) the only problem I’ve found is there are rarely standard games being played anymore. Most of the servers out there run some gay ass mod, when all I want to do is play the base game.

Tribes was great in its time, but I have always liked Tribes 2 better. So I desided to give it a go once more. And Just as I remeber, a bunch of fun. Only problem is there’s only a few servers that have players in them, or atleast players w/o a ton of bots in them. Hopefully I can find a decent “Tribe” or clan to join that has maybe a private server they play on or something. If you used to play tribes and wanna get back in it with me. Lemmy know.

I can just smell the nostalgia in the air… Or did someone fart? LOL

    Nostalgia? Man I’ve never stopped playing my fav game. Starcrat! 9 years and counting. Crazy thing is, even blizzard(game maker) is STILL making updates for it after all these years.

    Still hoping SC 2 will eventually be made.
