Yo, I remember you. I played chaser with you (opiumz) and I played my first game of UT2004 with you. I remember it well because you made a comment "you did well considering you were dead all the time" hahaha, I'll never forget that. I was terrible.
Did you continue to play UT2004? I fell hardcore in love with it and after a month I was obsessed, I played it like 14 hours a day at one point. I joined a team with aAa/mouz/n!faculty and a few years later UT2004 kind of went to the dogs. TDM died off in favour of a new game mode. I've been thinking about how I'd return to competitive gaming, and I'm struggling to find some of the people I used to game with. Imo, the UT2004 community was one of the best communities.
Sometimes I think games should stay in the past and we should look at them with fond memories, but it's also much easier to make money these days with streaming and stuff.
Sadly, 99% of the players from 2001-2003 were VAC banned on steam but there might still be some that play casually. The majority of NERV were definitely VAC banned.

Especially that one guy in the bulky player model that used to do nothing but plant C4 and wait for people to walk by. I forget your name now. I don't think you ever talked, but you were always there in CTF.
He was definitely still mining the flag when I loaded it up in 2010. His name at one point was "big explosion", he later changed name to "hellen killer" and switched to a female skin.
FURYweb still games. He asked me about it not that long ago (it could have been a year or two ago) but I completely quit gaming for a few years and it's literally only been in the last few weeks I've been thinking of playing them again. I'm often injuring myself with physical activities and it's just something I can do without having to spend much money on.
You shouldn't quit games for a woman if you still enjoy them. Fuck that man.
For me, this game was just the start to competitive gaming but it was always one of my favourites. I think all its bugs gave it character. It's also really helped me develop myself as an asshole and for business it's quite useful to be able to have a different character.
