That was me with Quake II. All my rich friends had cable modems when they were still a luxury item and the rest of us poors out in the woods had to make do with 12kbps. It was a slaughter every night after school.
Don't forget getting yelled at for "camping" because that's the only way you can possibly play.
I had no shame about it. If hanging out in the rocket launcher spawn area doesn't cause my latency to go apeshit then I'm hanging out there and shooting anything that moves.
Fuck you and your 45 mbps, Eddie and Ian!
