  • I quite literally live in Russia and have experienced the horrors of it. It is far, far from “pretty solid”. The only solid thing they got is blocking everything their gaze falls upon. I can’t even access cratesio anymore without a VPN. Hell, I can’t access the majority of the internet anymore. My system won’t update, I can’t download libraries, nothing. The router that my isp gave me doesn’t allow for passwords longer than 8 characters and crashes if it’s longer than that. It is advertised as “made in Russia”. Vk - don’t even get me started. It won’t even open with connection under 10mbit/s. It will lag, try to load of minutes, and in the end won’t do a thing while hogging the battery. It alone straight up makes my desktop browser use 100% CPU and a few gigs of ram. I would continue, if I had a better memory, but living in this country literally kills my brain with stress.











    • Unreal Tournament

    Don’t remember which game specifically, but the moment when you’re escaping out if the bowels of a living planet is unforgettable. Also the game is overall kinda creepy, I had hard time playing it lol.

    • Borderlands 1/2

    More towards my mid-teens, found about borderlands. Played it through and through, found great people in borderlands forums, it introduced me to so many good songs that are at the top of my playlists to this day. Two very great games.

    • TF2

    Speaks for itself. There will never be a game remotely close to how good TF2 was. Even TF2 itself.

    Also some honorable mentions:

    • A strategy game where you play as a mech that goes nuclear when destroyed, name is long forgotten sadly
    • I’m Going In 2
    • Hitman Silent Assassin
    • Counter Strike 1.6/Source

    And only recently I discovered World of Warcraft, specifically Wrath of the Lich King. Don’t really have anyone to play with, but sometimes it’s fun tanking for the entire group of randoms. I really enjoy tanking, when I know where to lead the group to lol.
