For me, ________ is basically all sports games that have ever been broadcast. Most of them are just locked away somewhere, with literally no legal way for anyone to see them.

    YES. FUCKING YES, OH MY FUCKING GOD.

    At this point, I would even accept having Unreal Tournament just exist as…I can’t believe I’m really going to say this…as a fucking mode, within Fortnite.

    HEAR ME OUT, OKAY? I’ve never fucked with Fortnite, but it apparently supports several highly diverse gameplay modes, which could already be standalone things. If all us Millennials could just queue for UT matches, we would at least consider installing that shit, without ever touching Sky Bus Floss Dance Battle Mode, or whatever the fuck else.

    Sigh. But they would absolutely lock the WarCow behind a fucking paywall. And that would make me sad. Because I’m not paying extra for that shit.

    EDIT: Also, there’s no way they would give us the option to just have everyone show up as the original UT characters, regardless of what their player has selected. Epic would insist on all the incredibly random Fortnite skins being forced onto your monitor. And all the goddamn dances and shit.

    It would be this horrifically cursed experience of playing Facing Worlds, just like the good old days…but then Darth Vader, Tony the Tiger, Deadmau5, and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man appear, and all start fucking twerking on the flag.

    Fuck-a-that.

      Though the UT4 Alpha is technically defunct, there is the UT4 Unofficial Update (GitHub.com/timiimit/UT4UU-Public) if you fancy some deathmatch. Carnage Dallas Hub is going off right now with more than 20 players. Plenty of remade maps at this point too (note the unofficial update is the only way to play UT4 as official servers were turned off last year)

        Yo, I might have to check that out. It warms my heart, just knowing people aren’t letting it go. Gotta keep that 1990s PC gaming spirit alive, somehow. Arena shooters are to my generation as drive-in movies are to the Boomers.

        Not to make unfair comparisons, or anything, but a LOT fewer people caught the clap at LAN parties, compared to the ol’ drive-in. I mean, it’s not zero, but it’s definitely less.

          The fact that there were a lot more women at drive-ins compared to LAN parties probably has something to do with it.

            Also, people notice you going AFK because you’re taking a fat noodle up your doodle a lot quicker than they notice you aren’t really watching the movie.
