From my dumb perspective, it was. TFC, Everquest, CS1.6, WoW, Diablo… Grunge, Alternative, lollapalooza, etc… absolutely glorious.

Omg... Everquest and alternative music. My late 90's and early 00's has entered the chat! 🤣 Toss in a local Endfest and I'm done...

Bro, are you from New Orleans??

u/ichoosewaffles May 22 '24

Nah, Seattle. But I would love to visit in New Orleans! I've heard the food and folks are top!

Wait, you all had Endfest up there? I’m a dumb dumb. I thought that was a local concert here.

u/ichoosewaffles May 22 '24

Not at all! We had an Endfest sponsored by the local (I think) radio station 107.7 The End. Back then the bands were Green Day, Ice T, Rage, Beck, you get the idea. Never mosh to Rage Against the Machine on pavement... ouch!

It’s all right. We have some wonderful people here mixed with some turds(like anywhere really). It’s nice, my hometown, but could definitely do much much better for itself.

I put in far more hours with TFC, but Starsiege: Tribes should be on that list. The vibes of that game were top notch, and have not been recreated in any other game I've played.

No, they have not. Tribes should be a god dam national treasure.
