I am a bit younger (my first PC was a 486), but much like you I and most of my friends grew up with PCs. My happiest memories are endless evenings playing Counter Strike and Diablo 2 at Internet cafés.

So yeah, PC gaming is growing... back home in Europe it has always been the number one platform!

Carrying PC to LAN parties at friend's places? :)

  • pezezin  9 days ago

    I first started with big LAN/Demoscene parties. Between 2003 (when I finished high school) and 2008 (when I finished university) I attended Euskal Encounter (https://ee33.euskalencounter.org/) every summer. LAN parties at friend's places came later, after we all moved out of our parents homes and got our own cars xD

    God, how do I miss those days...

    I can't believe we lugged our CRTs around too. So much weight being moved around but it was worth it!

      I have some great memories of LAN parties at friends playing Unreal Tournament and even that funky Nerf version they made.
