I fucking remember buying HL2+HL1, getting home and installing steam only to discover the key was already in use. It took WHSmith fucking ages to get me a new game for some stupid reason.
HL2 is one of the most overrated games ever btw

I try to distance myself as much as I can from nostalgia and constantly remind of the things that sucks.
Like having limited storage, shitty internet, shitty cpus.
Everything before Core 2 Duo was awful god damnit.
But the thing that sucks that most, even today is that there is still no conclusion to

I remember playing Super Street Fighter 2 TURBO on DOS and being too dumb to remember how to boot it - my dad wrote the commands on the paper CD sleeve and I could still barely manage to boot it up.
Shit was magical.

Finding cracked servers you mean
Nathan Gray
I thought I was going crazy because this shit happened to me. In the 2000s, it was hard not to make internet friends. Now, everything's been so centralized and homogenized that it's impossible to meet people.
Camden Gonzalez
>that image
I remember downloading that years back & never being able to beat the final boss
Asher Young
Because back then every server had its own unique community. People who liked the same gamemodes/maps/rules would join the same servers making it easy to find friends. Not like it is today with matchmaking where everybody is thrown into official servers and you can't get to know people because servers shutdown right after the game ends.
Kevin Edwards
Last panel is wrong, the brainwashed Valve drone would still say paise le gaben and muh wallet xD
Cooper Allen
True, but it was even more than that. I was able to find boatloads of random people through AIM messenger, and I could always find fun people who shared my interests through forums. Now everything's just reddit.

I miss gamearena
I don't know what possessed Telstra to shut down one of their best services (as well as a few other minor things) right as they started to lose their monopoly. Wouldn't logic dictate you start to improve your services in that situation.
Liam Richardson
If we didn't have graphicsfags we could have games with hundreds of enemies on screen at once. All I wanted from the Bayo 2 mech was a chance to open the guns up on a small army of weaker angels. Hope we get a chance in Bayo 3.
