De game-jaren

Geplaatst op door Tom Cobbaert / 55.646 Reacties

Retro is in zeggen ze … wel ik denk dat ik op het vlak van games gewoon in het verleden ben blijven steken. Ergens rond de eerste jaren dat ik een pc had, 1997 moet dat ongeveer zijn. Deze week kocht ik nog een game van dat gezegende jaar Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Jaja, de eerste, in 1997 had ik hem ook al, maar slechts de gekopieerde versie en die is dan es verloren geraakt. Toen ik hem deze week aan 2 euro in de Mediamarkt zag liggen brak mijn hart en nam ik heb mee en speel nu (toegegeven deels uit sentiment) iedere avond een nieuw level. Ik heb eigenlijk nooit de aanleg gehad om een gamer te zijn. In mijn eerste lic zat ik vaak soms uren met mijn maat achter zijne PC terwijl hij Diablo 2 speelde. Dat was best wel boeiend en ik gaf hem steeds tactische bijsturingen en opmerkingen, maar zelf spelen no way.

Het meeste van pc’s heb ik geleerd door te kijken. We gaan bijna 20 jaar terug in de tijd toen ik als 6-jarige vol verwondering stond te kijken naar die Commodore van mijn nonkel waar mijn neven Pacman, Ski or Die of Winter Games op speelden. Aaaah de tijd van de ‘echte’ 5,25″ floppy’s … Het moet 1994 geweest zijn toen ze hun Pentium kochten en we een stap verder zetten in de gamer-geschiedenis. Het eerste spel dat erop stond was Wolfenstein 3D, nog steeds één van mijn favorieten … fuck grafics, dit is gewoon een schitterend spel nah. Daarop volgde het iets mindere Blake Stone en nog van 3D Realms/Apogee verscheen ook Raptor. Dan kwam Prince of Persia, dat vond ik al iets moeilijker :p niets voor mij dus. En toen ging mijn wereld open: eerst met Dune 2 en dan met de eerste Command & Concquer (GDI en Brotherhood of NOD). Real time strategy bleek mijn ding te zijn en ik was dagen niet weg te slaan van mijn nonkel zijn pc, sommige dagen was ik er meer mee bezig dan mijn neven zelf. Dat waren ook de dagen wanneer ik mij amuseerde met het eerste en enige voetbalspel dat niet te moeilijk en te realistisch was voor mij: Fifa 94, het spel van de oneindige ommehaals en het 20 maal scoren door voor de keeper te staan. En toen brak de zon door de wolken en kocht ons vader een eigen pc. De eerste spellen die ik erop speelde waren Fury3x en het eindeloos boeiender Terminal Velocity. Het waren de jaren van schitterende games: 1996: Duke Nukem 3D (voor mij en een deel van mijn vrienden nog steeds een tijdloze first person shooter), Transport Tycoon, Civilization II (AoE kon hier gewoon nooit aan tippen) * 1997: C&C: Red Alert, Need for Speed 2 en Carmageddon * om in 1998 af te sluiten met Dune 2000 en nog een laatste stuiptrekking een beetje later met Starcraft. En ze mogen nu nog komen zeveren over hun Halo’s en Medal of Honor’s, mij kan het allemaal niet schelen … ik ben blijven steken in het midden van de jaren ’90, toen de games nog echte arcade waren en niet zo realistisch mogelijk wilden zijn. De games in de post vermeld zijn de enige die ik langer dan een uur heb gespeeld en die ik nog altijd hier en daar eens durf bovenhalen … noem het oudbolligheid, ik noem het nostalgie.

  2. Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at momoanmashop held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.

  3. Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at kaviontrustco keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.

  8. Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at qorivobond kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.

  9. Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at quvexabond continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.

  11. A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at pelixocapital maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.

    Beantwoorden

  13. Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at xelariocapital maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.

  15. Appreciated the way each section connected smoothly to the next without abrupt jumps, and a stop at nevironline kept that flow going nicely, transitions are something most blog writers ignore but the difference is huge for the reader who is trying to follow a sustained line of thought today across many different topics.

    Beantwoorden

  16. Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at axivo confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.

    Beantwoorden

  17. Skipped to a specific section because I knew that was the question I had, and the answer was clean, and a stop at zexarotrustco similarly delivered targeted answers without burying them, content engineered for readers who arrive with specific needs rather than open ended browsing is increasingly valuable in a search heavy reading environment.

    Beantwoorden

  18. Skipped a meeting reminder to finish the post, and a stop at jestraproperties held me past another reminder, when content beats meetings the writer is doing something extraordinary because meetings have institutional support behind them and yet good writing can still occasionally win that competition for attention which I find heartening today.

  19. Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at nixaroline continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.

    Beantwoorden

  20. Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at kryvoxalloy pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.

    Beantwoorden

  21. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at qulavoholdings extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.

  23. The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at xalirotrustco continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.

  25. Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at professionalcollaborationhub carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.

  28. Took a quick scan first and then went back to read properly because the post deserved it, and a stop at zylra kept me reading carefully too, the kind of writing that earns a slower second pass rather than getting skimmed and forgotten is something I value highly when I happen to find it.

  34. Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at corporatetrustnetwork continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.

  36. Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at zylavotrustco extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.

    Beantwoorden

  37. A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at xelariobase continued that effortless quality, when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.

    Beantwoorden

  40. Honestly this was a good read, no jargon and no padding, and a short look at dividedheartsofamericafilm kept that same feel going which I really appreciated, the writer clearly knows the topic well enough to explain it without hiding behind big words or filler that often gets used to seem clever.

  41. В Новороссийске вывод из запоя – это курс лечения, помогающий полностью снять симптомы похмелья и алкогольной ломки. Пациенту просто необходимо выведение алкогольных токсинов из организма, потому что именно их присутствие способствует появлению стойкого желания выпить. Поэтому детоксикация является первым этапом помощи, а полноценное лечение алкоголизма включает медикаментозную терапию, кодирование, психологическую поддержку, реабилитацию, работу с мотивацией, профилактику срыва и восстановление нормального образа жизни.

  42. Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at morixotrustco suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.

    Beantwoorden

  43. Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at yaverobond extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.

    Beantwoorden

  44. This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at trendingnewsfeed kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

  47. Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at xelivobonding confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.

    Beantwoorden

  49. Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at peacelandworld pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.

    Beantwoorden

  50. Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to whitedossier confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.
