Yet another round of nostalgia.
Daryl added me into the old CS community Facebook group last night. And boy, suddenly I see sooo many familiar names and nicks all over again.
These people whom I thought I’d never meet again, ever.
Project (Marv), Nick, Lim Lee, Cyril (Benjamin), Madprincess (Angela), Whitegal (Lora), Nokiagal (Sara), GM (Kenneth), Drugbeat (Callister), etc etc…
Omg.
Never mind that most of them don’t really remember who I am. I was pretty low profile back then anyway. I wasn’t in any huge-ass famous guild, wasn’t one of those screamy female CS player who’s damn pro in AWP… I’m just that socially awkward girl who initially tagged behind bAbYeLiTe (Jas~) wherever she went, and then subsequently became a CS server admin at paGn, before moving on to being a committee member in Khabal Gaming.
Most people will probably have just heard of the nick “Scottie”, but never quite remember who I am.
But there are some who remembered… and boy, I’m surprised that they do.
Just like in the past… even though I’m part of this Facebook community page, I never really felt that I’m part of it. Maybe it’s because I’ve never hang out with these people, I’ve never really played with them before… I’m always like a bystander. I can never blend in with their topics, to what they say. They are a close, tight knit of people. In the past, I can only listened to what they were saying, and smiled if they said something funny among each other. Now, I can only “like” what they say there on FB… nothing else.
But that doesn’t change that fact that I’m glad to be part of the community, to be there witnessing them catching up with one another, reminiscing about the old times.
The good, ol’ times.
Suddenly I feel like taking out that Quake 3 everglide and re-install CS all over again. Re-visit de_dust, cs_docks, de_aztec, etc etc…
The good, ol’ times, indeed.
