The End
‘The conscious is cancerous if allowed to linger’
"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."
I also have some more serious things of my own saved.
I used to love responding to Goat's threads, although this post isn't especially great I think that going through the process of writing up my thoughts, with lengthy walls, really encouraged me to think more critically about the game and its mechanics - I can see that I was getting in stride more in the last few paragraphs.
This, which became this (outdated now, but again some interesting thoughts here throughout the thread)
The Classic Playlist thread technically Optimatch (RIP), but I have fond memories of this thread and am still proud of having managed to eventually convince everyone to have the NR as a starting weapon (good summary post, which I also posted in the main feedback thread) - even if this was the eventual outcome.
Some nice quality raging here
Firefight Pro, the last serious contribution I made to this forum.
Speaking of the present, I really liked Costa's post here. I had saved the thread and had intention of replying at some point, only to find it has been locked.
The idea of a mechanical skill gap is something I would like to discuss at some point, centered around the idea of whether aiming is particularly important, and how H2 was the quintessential game in striking a balance between the illusion of an FPS, in the conventional sense, and the potential for strategy to take precedence in a shooter.
Through my interactions here I became less a fanboy and more a person whose opinion actually meant something. I did it while donned out in orange and have many of you to thank for that change.

I can only hope that in the future I might again feel so passionate about a gaming community.
