Old Valve Feels Thread

who /never even liked CS or dota/ here?

also general old valve nostalgia/feels thread

>ywn again log on to that one TF2 server where everybody knows your name and play a few rounds, gradually getting better
>ywn again experience the uncut cocaine-tier addictiveness and genuine 10/10 fun that was early TF2, even as far as early Mann Conomy update
>ywn again heartily kek at Portal 2's classic lines and bits (before reddit ruined them) or shoot the shit on TF2 voice chat with the lads after a long day
>ywn again form a strong bond with random people over the course of a L4D campaign, friending them afterwards on steam and then playing a few more campaigns again together
>ywn again appreciate those shitty gmod videos and memes in the days of a more innocent, less jaded, and less normie internet
>ywn again stumble onto HL2 as an underageb8 and have it absolutely blow your fucking mind
>ywn again experience the joy of topping a team of skilled players on Harvest, getting through Ravenholm, or killing a Tank on expert for the first time
>ywn again have an experience like rocking the fuck out to that guitar bit on the hospital level in Episode 1 shotgunning headcrab zombies and combine
>ywn again form ephemeral yet meaningful friendships with other people from all over the world, having fun and playing video games together
>ywn again gloriously burn the summer hours away with your computer and your air conditioner humming in the background, wondering whether or not that girl in your class liked you back, where you might want to go to college, when episode 3 was going to come out

>tfw you're a probably a young, relatively middle class, white guy in his late teens to 20's, far more bitter than your years should suggest, wondering why you didn't appreciate the good times and why innocence has to die

I never liked CS or Dota.

TF2 went to shit with Mannconomy

Valve hasn't made a game worth a shit in over 5 years now

bump
pls feel with me, Sup Forums
i cant be the only one

Fuck man too relatable

i feel it

Pretty much me

The early days of Gmod as well

This shouldn't be so relatable god dammit

I got HL2 on release date so I'm presumably a bit older, but yeah.

The Half Life series, GoldSrc and Source modding, and TF2 were my shit for basically all of the 00s.

They defined that decade games wise for me.

>>ywn again experience the joy of topping a team of skilled players on Harvest, getting through Ravenholm, or killing a Tank on expert for the first time
That line got me. Damn.

>tfw old Half-Life mods
>playing Left 4 Dead drunk as shit
>CS Source surf maps, zombies, etc
>old TF2 in general, no hat craze
>old Steam UI
>CS 1.6
>Day of Defeat

Old Valve is so fucking comfy

>tfw nothing will ever be as comfy as playing a good round of L4D on a fall weekend, cozy and mildly spooked

That entire picture is a nostalgia bomb

Also this was legit and surprisingly well balanced considering it was a cheap mod.

I feel that feel.
Although I played cs 1.6 and tfc when I was in my late teens
Those games only had community servers

Hey fags, what were your favorite Goldsrc mods?

Hard mode: No Svencoop

>the whole team switches to pan scout and starts moving as a single mass banging each other
>plr_hightower, people from both teams stand on top of each other trying to go as high as possible

Point of View (?)

>playing arena
>everyone goes medic for the fun of it
