7/26/2005 11:29:57 AM

more so than snood was age of empires

holy crap

7/26/2005 11:30:24 AM

uh oh

i never played it

but fuckin magic

i hated that game

7/26/2005 11:32:02 AM

oh god...i loved that game. i think i'll download it now and play until the trial version runs out. remember when there was no trial version and it was just free?
my mom and dad were hooked as well.
it was my main source of procrastination. i started many papers at 3am because i had to play 'one more game.'

7/26/2005 11:33:53 AM

I just downloaded it again... I haven't thought about that game in years... years...

7/26/2005 11:51:23 AM

great, now people are gonna lose their jobs over this game

7/26/2005 11:57:02 AM

Unreal Tournament and Dark Age of Camelot did me in.

7/26/2005 11:57:06 AM

i didnt jump on the unreal bandwagon for a year or two later

but man, all i did was play starcraft

7/26/2005 11:59:15 AM

When Warcraft 3 came out thats all I played for months

7/26/2005 11:59:56 AM

oh shit... age of empires almost made me flunk out of school my freshman year

7/26/2005 12:13:53 PM

^I played the shit out of that game... AOEII rocked... I was always the british and used the longbowmen, put them up in the towers, fortify my city with walls and I was unstoppable.

7/26/2005 12:32:14 PM

I think i like empire earth better.

7/26/2005 12:32:58 PM

My roomate used to come into my room and use my computer when I wasn't there to play that stupid game.....GRRRR!!!!

7/26/2005 12:46:08 PM

I'm surprised I managed to graduate on time thanks to Tribes 2. I spent nearly my entire senior year playing it and another year or so after I graduated. Honestly I'm surprised I managed to get a job I played it so much.

When I lived on campus me and some guys on my floor would spend hours playing either Tony Hawk, FIFA, or Goldeneye. I still remember staying up really late with some other people building monster pimp houses in The Sims using the cash cheat code. We wouldn't play the game, just build the biggest mansion we could on the lot.

7/26/2005 12:47:54 PM

I wish they had snood for the cell pistol

7/26/2005 4:30:22 PM

Did a longbowman do any better in a tower than a regular archer/crossbowman/arbalest? I don't remember.

Anyway, UT did me harm too

[Edited on July 26, 2005 at 6:13 PM. Reason : btw, I was playing AoE ever since I got the trial version of the original with a magazine]

7/26/2005 6:07:22 PM

My favorite was when you open the program, the little registration dude says "PLEeeeeeAZE"

7/26/2005 6:26:00 PM

old school was playing snood on the computer that didnt have internet access in non-air-conditioned metcalf hall.

7/26/2005 6:36:17 PM

Old school = original Quake

7/26/2005 6:55:32 PM

No, old school is Wolfenstein 3D

7/28/2005 1:04:26 AM

My first semester of college I spent a lot of time playing Doom, but that wasn't at NCSU...

I think they had more distance and frequency... not sure though. I just put em up there anyway and watched the gooks drop like flies.

7/28/2005 11:47:01 AM

Definitely no more distance. I remember when the expansion came out, and the Teutons unique research was +3 castle and tower range. They were always my favorite civ before that, but even moreso then. My multiplayer strategy involved building as many castles as stone would allow.

7/28/2005 12:56:59 PM

Snood is returning ... Snood 2 will be released soon and I know it will at least be on DS

Snood came out AT LEAST eight or nine years ago.

7/28/2005 6:25:06 PM

Now Subspace is real old school

I never really got into it myself

Dude, I would rock you with the Byzantines. I'd roll through that shit.

7/28/2005 9:16:43 PM

That reminds me of the time I played a friend of mine over modem (back in the day). He would always brag about how good he was, so finally we went at it. Byzantines vs. Teutons. I kicked his ass pretty bad after a couple of hours, but he escaped with some small force to go restart on the edge of the map.

I was like, fuck, I can wait him out. I proceeded to build around 20 or so castles and had a bunch of teutonic knights and cavaliers (paladins...? can't remember if Teutons had them or not... I think they did).

Anyway, I was waitin for the inevitable counter attack, knowing full well that I would have no problem. I had a castle range of 13, and enough paladins to take out any trebuchets. Well, I must say, the counter attack was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a video game. He just sent a few screenfulls of camels. I mean, there must have been well over a hundred camels. And they just got chopped to pieces by my castles. So for a few minutes, it was the most hilarious thing hearing all those camels die with that death sound they make.



....guess you had to be there

My old dog ran away because I was too busy playing SissyFight. We got him back though.

i almost lost the first semester of my soph year b/c of that damn game.

the fact that there is a "just one more game" feature tells you just how addictive it was
