Can't say I'm a new comer... but you can assume all you want since I registered a minute ago .
To all the administrators, members, developers... I'd just like to say hello. I used to play this game quite a bit before, I could hold my own with my kid brothers in lan (is bragging about that even legal?), can't say I'm good though since I've never tried an internet match and I probably never will.
When I mentioned before, I meant waaay back... back when I still played the first releases of dragon mod z (exploiting the genki dama bug with an ssj3 model of goku scared the hell outta my bro) and then I managed to download the meager forty megabytes of earth's special forces, just for fun.
Honestly, I wasn't too impressed with it at first, didn't look very good... and the evil and good sides? It was kinda un-dragonballish, heheh. But then the months passed, and another release of esf came. And it left dmz reeling. I tell ya, I was totally hooked with this awesome mod.
Another long month passed, and then two more, then three... I was getting bored playing esf all the time, but my frequent visits to the forums and the generous amount of downloadable models, maps and such fuelled me to hang on, more often than not .
My corn ball prayers were answered when the melee-packed ESF release finally came and--to be blunt, it blew my mind away (The ps2 that housed the budokai games were out of my reach then, so you can imagine my bliss ). It was just that dominating among all the other hl mods... dragon mod z couldn't even come close (sorry dmz dudes, I enjoyed the hell outta your mod, but esf was clearly better). The melee was awe-inspiring, and my siblings had a blast.
But all of that's finished, now. Having to reformat my pc because of a virus about seven months ago, my half-life game was deleted, and my scratched up cd couldn't be read anymore. The lan hud broke after that and so far, my pc is the only working one in my humble abode.
It wasn't all bad, though... I've played every dragon ball game in the ps2 (thank the lord I finally managed the purchase), and I'm feverishly waiting for budokai four, which is to be released tomorrow I think. But that didn't take away the nostalgia... it only strengthened it.
I was fourteen when dragon ball mods for half-life sparked my life, fifteen when the largest friggin' genki dama caused all three of me and my brothers' computers to hang, sixteen when I relished the melee of ESF, and I'm seventeen now. Yeah, I miss it.
Which is why I'm staying... thing is, I'm anxious for ESF's latest release, whether I play it or not. And I'm staying to cheer ESF's developers on and not to let the game die, whether I play it or not.
Half-life may not be in my pc anymore, but this mod means a lot more to me than I actually lead myself to believe... heheh, I don't really care if I play, so long as this game continues to blow everyone's minds away; even with half-life one's limited technology.
Point is, this mod owns. And the sheer relentlessnes of this game is more than enough to keep me from leaving (no idea why I didn't register long ago). Keep on makin' people happy, esf. Since you sure as hell made a happy camper outta me .
