  • Hi my name's Bryant and I enjoy playing first person shooters.

    The first game I ever played was probably either Pac Man or Demons to Diamonds on the Atari 2600, then Super Mario Bros. 1, 2 and 3 on the NES.

    My first FPS was Turok: Dinosaur Hunter on the N64 when I was 5, which probably has contributed to my love of blood, gore and fire arms. My Grandfather introduced me to computers at around the same time and eventually when I was given a computer of my own, my love of first person shooters and interest in computers combined and I devoted all of my time to playing Half-Life. Unfortunately, this was in 2002 I think, so I missed a lot of the classics, but in the past couple of years I've bought and played a lot of them including: Quake, Quake 2, Doom, Doom 2, Wolfenstein 3D and so on. I fell in love with Doom 3 when it was released, but was depressed by the let down of Quake 4, as I'm sure everybody was. I'm still a youngin', 6 years short of the age I can start legally drinking (that is, I'm 15), so I have a lot more years to spend playing first person shooters on my PC. I'll always have a place for Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Quake in my heart. :d

    Oh, and that PC I got was an HP a305w with a 2.7Ghz Celeron proc., 512MB PC-2100 (I think it was 2100, upgraded from 256MB), and integrated graphics. I struggled with Half-Life on that thing, 16-bit color at 640x480 and I struggled to hold 15fps. After I got this computer I started to spend a lot of time learning myself about computers and the components within them, which would later be of use.

    A year or so after I got it, I heard about Half-Life 2, so what did I do? Well, I talked about it with my Grandfather and one of his buddies, which is now my buddy, came over after I bought the parts and supervised while I built my first computer. Asus K8N nForce3 250, Athlon 64 3200+, 1GB PC-3200, 128MB 9600XT, 250GB Hitachi, NEC Dual Layer CD/DVD/+/-/R/RW, etc. This was in 2004. In 2005 I upgraded to a 256MB 6800GT, this year I added a second gig of RAM and more fans, and now I have what I've got today.

    I'm a total nerd.

        • Welcome Bryant

          /Like Canadian*Sniper, I initially thought you were the other Bryant, hehe

          So while you guys all have to fight your anti-matter counterparts, me and my evil twin will be drinking a beer laughing at you guys ...

          • Sorry for the confusion, but I'm not the Bryant you're thinking of.

                  • Im ag3nt orang3. I started playing quake back in the days (around '96-'97). We played so much that we put it on my high school's server and then we got into a lot of trouble lol. I haven't played for about 5 or 6 years. I love how fast and furious quake is.

                      • well I guess I'm gonna go with the name doppleganger as I can never choose and keep a name and it's always changing. Once people start to get to know me, if they have a nick suggestion, feel free... or maybe changeling would be a better name - as I don't really like to impersonate others (i noticed the other thread that Death Knight posted)

                        I remember playing quake the most in 97 and a few years after that playing online usually playing the public ctf servers and eventually moved on to team fortress for a couple of months at the end of my career...

                        For some reason Quake just popped into my head and I really wanted to play again but I figured nobody would play anymore...looks like I was wrong!

                        Man I love being wrong.

                        oh, and I'm 22 now, in college

                                Hi All,

                                FragMagnet. New nick for me, been quaking since 1996 when I got the demo version on CD from PC Gamer mag. Bought the store version and played it all the way through - then dissolution of eternity, etc. PC was a Pentium 75 and a 4x CDROM. Those were the days!

                                Started DM/CTF in 1997 on a 28.8 modem - quite the happy HPB'er. Been DM'ing online for a LONG time. I went by Ghostrider back then - but that nick got old and there were too many of them out there so I thought up FragMagnet instead.

                                I play mostly on bomber.quakeone.com 1v1 / Team DM, and occasionally Runequake servers.

                                Hi!
