It’s been over a decade now since the days when I considered myself a “hardcore”Counter-Strikeplayer. Back in college in snowy St. Peter, Minnesota, it was pretty much the only thing my friends and I could do to entertain ourselves*. A dozen or so of us would hop on the network every night and rescue hostages, plant bombs, and escort the VIP to victory, all the while sending in-game chat messages detailing what we were going to do to each others’ mothers after every cheap no-scope kill or bunny hop escape. Hell, we even entered a LAN tournament once (where we promptly had our asses handed to us).
So for me, this week marked the return ofCounter-Strikein a big way. Never much of a fan ofCSS, my college buddies and I have been patiently awaiting the release ofGlobal Offensive, hoping that it might recapture some of what was lost when we all graduated and moved on with our lives. Will it scratch that itch? It’s too early to tell. But one thing’s certain: I’ll be sending a whole lot of “your mother” text messages over the coming weeks as I find out.
What about you? Ready to stop the terrorists once and for all? Then what are you waiting for?! GO! GO! GO!
*other than masturbation, beer, and masturbation.
