Them lifespans

#1

In the welcoming thread i saw something curious: people enumerating some of the things that happened during the wait for BMS. Sounded like this:

(k3nny1550)

Thought it would be nice to make a thread for this. Should be fun to observe how many things happened in all these months, considering we all come from different places/have different ages.

Especially, i’m curious to hear from the developers/moderators…they’ve been here the longest, and 4+ years is a significant amount of time.

starting:
-got through highschool
-lost two close friends to a carcrash.
-got friendzoned more than i wanted
-got laid less than i wanted (i plead the lonely island on this)
-found love, or something similar enough to it
-moved from one side of the world to the other semi-permanently.
-went through several small jobs,earned MY first money.
-observed this board
-built a crossbow from scratch
-designed a boardgame
-played every significant title on the pc
-never bought a console by principle/waiting patiently for current gen emulators to come up
-produced my fair share of profanities and linguistic obscenity (including this post prehaps)

Off you go.

It should be pretty clear that it’s not.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
