It was a 90s and we met through our BBS systems. there was no debate what to play, doom. Warcraft came soon after. The Internet sounded cool, too bad actually kind of destroyed everything. some of us had pagers. we made plans, over land lines, and everyone actually showed up.
we didn’t take photos because that would be stupid. our parents would find out what we were doing. which was mostly drinking and smoking way too much and playing video games until the sun rose.
- dade_ 3y agoalso, we didn’t get bored of it. we figured out how to make custom maps. yes including our school, and picked appropriate demon for each classroom to represent our fabulous teachers. Columbine hadn’t happened yet. even if someone found out, you weren’t gonna go to jail. Things went downhill fast after that.
- pierat 3y agoI made an Unreal map of my high school. Was really awesome and had pretty much all the nooks and crannies. Even had that weird stairway hidden in a crevasse of a hidden tunnel. Hadn't been opened in decades with the amount of rust. I mean, I did a hell of a job. Next month, Columbine happened. That put an end to me releasing that map anywhere.
- fennecfoxy 3y agoTbf I think it was quite common, because our friend group did the same (in NZ, where we have only ever had 1 school shooting, ever). It definitely has something do with: * We spent a lot of time there (every day for school) * We were intensely familiar with the spaces It would be interesting to research the psychological reasons why making a space like that as a map is so appealing!

- mndgs 3y agoYes, Doom! I am reading this and I think to myself: nobody here was kid/teenager in 90s? It was Doom on 8-10 school computer network PCs for me, absolutely fantastic times!
