Hello my friends,
I say friends because, well, many of us have spent hours and hours over years and years playing CSS with each other. I think back on all the time spent gaining mega skills playing in the pub, and then the never ending quest to make it from CAL-O to CAL-dear god something other than O we can't be THAT bad, and all the EVO, CEVO, and whatever other leagues we all tried hard in.
When I disappeared from the 47R scene (and all games) I think it was because I became married to my job after grad school. I'm not sure how well I can say it's worked for me... but nevermind that for now--I find myself a little nostalgic for the old days haha!
I've recently put together a new system. In fact, as of until yesterday, I was still using the Intel QX6700 that CutScene sent me to replace something far more ancient. I remember being quite pleased with myself, being able to pwn newbz with 10 year old parts (literally). Which reminds me of another members' (so sorry, can remember your voice and picture but not your name) hilarious spray that said "OWNED BY AN E-MACHINE". I think briefly saying hi with Nut, Vanish, Ace, and Yarr helped push me into building something new. Before this I think I accidentally opened Steam once to see Enikxe say hi, so hopefully he and many others are still here. George, Ghonzo, and the rest of the big awesome group of people that came after me always said Hi on the rare 5-6x I logged into the server over the past few years. Thanks, haha.
My new build consists of an i5-4690k, Gigabyte Z97 MB, and the crazy Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X OC edition (which seems to be massively fluctuating in price I noticed). For those that remember me constantly recommending and raving about the Antec 300 case, I bought another (version 2 or whatever) because I always loved the plain black aesthetics, quality, and cheap price point. Hunter turned me onto Corsair PSUs and ever since I've bought nothing else. However, the CS650M I chose has been having some really annoying fan/whining noises. GRRRR.
I've been re-installing CSGO, CSS, and installing (first game purchase in years!) GTA V as I've been typing this.
So, anyway, hello again everyone!
