Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / July 2008Ten years....
Its around ten years since Half-life was released and us bunch of bums found this place to discuss and abuse each other about various aspects of half life. Where are the originals? I am one (first post dec 2008!), where are the bolds, the whoopass', the wildstyles? etc etc.....any of you guys still visit on occasion? :D Anyway, here is to ten years of celebration to a game!

I'll have to Google for first post. I remember it being a query about Team Fortress though. I bought the GOTY edition game when it got cheap, and I had'nt played any FPS's before. Been playing all HL games on occasion, online and off, and lurking here ever since. I'd have to say the best fun times to date were around 2001-2002 playing the the old CS 1.5 with some of you guys though. Actually, I think I remember buying the game days before CS was released from Beta, and was surprised to find so many of you guys already familiar with it.

As far as Catley goes, anybody familiar with Colbert? http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_colbert_report/index.jhtml http://www.comedycentral.com/colbertreport/videos.jhtml?videoId=24039 He takes a lot of credit for his term 'truthiness' which he created in 2005. You guys should be proud to have coined the term 'catlyness' long before that. And the term has nothing to do with cats, does it? Lefty > BillZBubb Been lurking for quite some time. Can now be found burning and healing on TFC2 servers.

Stick your neck out if you recognise yourself on this list and say > "hi!" for old times sake :) Good list Ben, very comprehensive :) For a minute there, I thought you'd forgotten my TFC buddy Cyrus, but there he is down near the bottom. There are a few names from the very early days that you haven't got, which I have extracted from the first AGHL bash scoreboard screenie. I don't remember all of them, but it was a private server and there was no IRC channel then, so I'm sure they all spent time here. Rabbie Fugazi --Blind-- Silentbob Kamikaze Fragle KingRobo Pakman PrivateRyan Firemuffin And if you're doing the trolls, where's SteamKiller? I thought there were more Paul Catleys too.

Not at all, more, I tried to cobble together a list of everyone who comes to mind when I think of the folks who 'stuck around' for any length of time (Whether they were the good regular posters, or the trolls on the bridge). Of course, Paul has already pointed out a few I've missed off the list. (Although i was a bit loathed to add steamkiller, since I'm sure "he" was in fact a trollbot rather than a real human being capable of a comprehensive discussion :) Oh, I missed out Sabaki too.. whoops!

You damn near caught up to me on that last lap, the leg is pretty ok now just had ultrasound done on the new artery bypass and they say it looks good. My biggest problem is shortness of breath, can't seem to do near as much physical stuff as a I used to, Oh Well guess I'll just go a little slower, maybe let some of these young whippersnappers catch up a little :-)) Best regards, Rene > "All you health nuts are going > to feel really stupid laying > on your death bed dying of nothing..." > On 6/9/08 4:03 AM Ben Cottrell brightened our day with: >>> Its around ten years since Half-life was released and us bunch of bums [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Here's to turning 40 next week!

Hi All, Yep I'm still here and playing my favorite games and mods and enjoying them all, turned 74 on April 1st and am hopeing for a few more good ones, Had a Bad scare last October with a blood clot in my right leg, nearly lost it but the Vascular Surgeon did a superb Artery bypass at 2 am and saved it so am fairly good yet and walking on 2 legs. I hope to be here for quite a while yet, God willing.

Just looked up the "profile" google has stored for me back in the days when I used to access the internet over a 33.6k modem.

Also saw loads of obligatory drunken posts from when I was 17 :D Anyway, it's been quite an involved eight years, I don't think it was so common in 2002 for internet groups to meet in person but... hey, we almost did it (although I think only Vis can claim to have caught up with Fodder in person!)

And the last time I wielded a bloodied crowbar was the last TF2 bash, tho I can't remember the time before that. I REALLY REALLY miss the fun rat-map bashes from a few years ago and also the many sensless nights of mindless slaughter I experienced as CF's snark target... ;-) (The Cat's Rat House - RIP) And the Gathering (the one in Nottingham..cheers Dave!).. who'd have thought I'd ever travel a hundred miles or so to meet a bunch of weirdo's, er, strangers, I'd only ever typed to over usenet? But what a wicked day/night that was..we was definitely a bunch of united nerds that night...only made possible by aghl and indeed, Half-Life. And while I think of it and got everyones attention.. http://www.frappr.com/aghl - just do it! However sad it might seem to the uninitiated and the ignorant, half-life and aghl will always be part of my life. I have to go now as I'm getting rather choked by this.
