laslo[nova] rides again!
Yes, I have started playing Quake II again, very occasionally. I didn’t think anyone would still be playing; and in fact, none of the formerly always busy servers I used to play on respond to pings. So I did the usual Googling, and found a page listing a crapload of Q2 servers here. I’m still exploring to see which ones I get a decent ping on. Not that it really matters, because everyone has a broadband connection now… and if you’re still playing Q2 after all this time, you’re probably pretty damn good at it by now, too. Me, I suck. Rust has settled into the formerly very quick railgunning reflexes I once had. Mind you, I still get some kills, but nowhere near the killing machine mode I was in back in the day. Shuup, LS.
Speaking of LS, a.k.a Lonestarr, I decided to see if the old Nova Clan page was still up. Scary… it’s still there. You can visit the site if you’re really bored… I’m on the inactive list (which LS was supposed to change years ago, and never did). The Australia and Sweden field offices are missing in action. I might just be the last of the Novahicans…

No.. There are other Nova’s around. You just have to look REAL hard for them.
I actually only shed the [Nova] tag about 2-2.5 years ago when I joined Ir8(I Remember 8-tracks). http://www.teamir8.org
I still have that shrevenet account. My folks are still using the dialup. That means the Nova page lives on, until they move to broadband.
I play more BF2 or HalfLife 2 related games, now. I have a small weak spot for the Wii, as well. It’s my first console since the Atari 2600.
BTW. I saw your picture. Looking good, man. congrats on the new, healthy lifestyle. We all need more exercise and better quality food. It’s made a difference in my energy level and overall happiness.
