i got so good at conc jumping as a medic that i was kicked out of several servers for "cheating" that was actually me being too good

i remember when they changed all that stuff to run server-side instead of client-side and all the people who were totally not using scripts for conc/grenade/rocket jumping cried about it

i used to be able to cap the flag by rocket and grenade jumping up the elevator in tfc 2fort

the hardest part was saving health to do it

at the peak of your rocket jump you released the primed grenade under you, it took so much damage but it didn't matter because you're that good you could avoid anything

yeah, the elevator in 2fort required timing the double rocket or grenade jump perfectly. you could conk out of the water and to your team's goal too

once you got good, you flew around that level like a blur

I flew around like a blur, not because I was good, but I played a lot of tfc on my lovely laptop with really lovely 56k and I would warp all over the place. still had some great gaming

I used to follow a guy named StabbyStabby when I was trying to learn how to play tf2. I think he was probably the best spy in the game at some point.

I would usually get like 1-2 ganks off before killing completely destroyed. Half the time i'd accidentally run into the enemy pyro and instant die.

just tapping fire on everyone you see as a pyro to flush out spies was great

Half Life 2 Episode 1 is from 2006, actually.

half life 2 episode 1 and 2 were actually the first two-thirds of half life 3. alyx is half life 4, but because half life 3 was only 0.6, and alyx takes place between 1 and 2, that means alyx is really half life 1.5 + 2.6 = 4.1 so that's a 141% chance of winning GOTY at sacrifice
