I'm 41 years old. I don't think I'm even good at arguing about video games anymore.

[Kupfer]

Used to be LEM in CS:GO, played with supremes and globals.
Now I'm 11k elo trash :'-)

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

I used to be part of a clan and competed in local tournaments during the Counter-Strike 1.6 era. These days, I play Call of Duty casually.

 

[Bartski]

lmao, like all of them

 

[hinch7]

Counter Strike GO now CS 2. But to be fair.. the game has also been overrun and ruined by cheaters (my excuse).

 

[DonF]

COD. Used to dominate. But a combo of skills getting worse, ratmazy maps and SMGs everyone uses that are accurate/low recoil really sunk my game as I used to pick people off with ARs and LMGs from open distance.

Im convinced that on console, every fucker that's kills me from afar with an smg is a Chronus user.

Does playing with myself count?

Here goes Memati's legacy

 

[Baemono]

I can't play Super Mario Bros as I used to do when I was playing it on original hardware

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Almost everything, though there are a few games I can pick back up quickly like riding a bike:

Halo
Super Smash Bros Melee
Counter-Strike
Paper Mario
Legend of Dragoon
Picross

And some games that if I even take a little bit of time away, I get rusty very quick:

Monster Hunter World/Rise/Wilds
Dark Souls/Bloodborne
FF7 Remake/Rebirth

 

[DragonNCM]

Tekken 3 , I memorized & executed all 10 hit combos for all characters......now i cant pull even one....

 

[MSduderino]

Man I would kill all in Tony hawk back in the day and starting 3+4 up after a 20 year break? I used to be able to get 2 mil point tricks now I'm lucky to pull a 200k.

 

[MrRibeye]

Quake 3, Return to Castle Wolfenstein MP and Medal of Honor Allied Assault MP.

Fondly looking back at those long summers in 2000-2003 and meeting on TeamSpeak and sending applications to different clans and then meeting them in-game for an "interview match" to prove live that I can reach a high KDA ratio and finally getting in and proudly wearing that clan's tag before my username in-game. Clan culture almost felt like online fraternities to me. To me it was the epitome of "cool" when I was young.

20 years later and "I'm too young to die".

 

[Viruz]

Every new game without a single exception I always start on easy mode first now.
There's a skill issue of course but mostly because I lost patience to lose, lose again and repeat. I can't do it anymore.

 

[Dacvak]

I used to be pretty solid at Smash Melee. I lived with M2K while he was top 3 (arguably #1) in the world, and we'd play for like 8 hours a day. I'd say I was "semi pro", if that's a thing, though I rarely actually competed in tournaments. (I'd always drive M2K to tourneys, which he'd always win, so I felt it was a waste of money to enter them lol)

But now my hands are getting old and I'm out of practice. I can still hold my own for sure, but I don't have the hand speed or dexterity I once did.

I still love that game, even though it definitely destroyed my hands.

 

[Mortisfacio]

Starcraft 2

Wings of Liberty launch I was pushing diamond. I can barely break gold now.

 

[Plies]

Mega Man 2
