I guess something never change.

I was never a CS veteran eventhough I had my time back in 1.6. I believe the same thing could be said for my uncle because he was a nerd back in Highschool. But when it comes to video games, even a nerd couldn’t handle the excitement to immerse himself into the digital world.

My uncle, a mid-30 man with a job and 2 kids, has Aoe1 and CS 1.1 as his main games for over 10 years. As for anyone who had an older figure playing videogames in the family, clearly my uncle got me hooked up into those titles. Him and I never met that much back then because he was busy studying far from home. But everytime he got back for vacations, he would lend me his laptop and boot up CS for me to enjoy.

I’m not really sure but I believe that he’s not a diehard CS fan based on the way he plays and so was I up until I discovered CSGO, which means that instead of going to LAN or Internet cafes to play the game with other players, we spent most of the time messing around in a private server with bots.

But even after all those years of mindlessly fighting off bots, he didn’t change the way play the game nor switch to newer installments after many attempts of me convincing him, said it was too complicated and weird-looking.

I thought it was weird at first but as I involve myself more and more into videogames, maybe to him it was just a game, a game to enjoy and nothing else. In the end of day, I believe that is just a mindset of a nerd… but as long as the game stays true to his heart, I don’t think it would matter.

In the picture is my uncle (R), his son (L) and the beautiful game in the name of Counter Strike.
