Now I feel old for also playing Castle Wolfenstein
And it’s still fucking awesome.
In my young years the computers still worked with this and Pong was a sensation.
In my mind, videogames and music never feel older or younger than they are.
Last week a friend of mine was like “can you believe Kurt Cobain died 30 years ago” and my reaction was “Yes…”Wow, I can’t believe doom is so young! It’s been a cultural juggernaut my entire life, so it’s weird to think of Doom as “releasing.”

Realizing that the first C&C game came out 29 years ago:
I was there, Gandalf. I was there when they released it on the internet and you could play the first few levels multiplayer for free. Installed on the university computers…
Playing our hidden games on the school’s network. Good times. Back then if you knew a few lines of code you could give your session administrator privileges. That was when internet security existed because so few people knew how to use a computer, let alone a local network or the internet. An entire computer lab playing against another entire computer lab in whatever those games were called. The most popular was light cycles, an open source Tron clone.
Tragically, this also means that, even after 31 years, I’ve still never ‘get good’ enough.
Put words together into sentences that make me sound like a grown-up.
