I started with Descent in 2001 when I was about 3 years old.My mom bought me a PC,yeah I know thats weird to buy a 3 year old a computer but I knew how to use it.I forgot the specs and stuff's but I do remember the OS was Win95 and knew that it was able to run Descent at a decent FPS.It was the 7 level shareware demo that came on the computer itself so I played that for like a flipp'n 6 month period for like 6 hours a day. haha.I remember my Mom asking me that "Why do you play that game so much?".... I said: "it's the best game I ever played Mom!" So my birthday was only about 2 1/2 weeks away and I was going to turn 4.My Mom went on ebay and bought my this that I actually still have! http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/538527_246505978798376_815767642_n.jpg That was an EPIC day for me when I got that!
played singleplayer in D1 and D2 everyday until I was about 7 years old,my Computer crashed and wouldn't work anymore! D: I wanted to f**king cry. I loved Descent so much I did not want to let it go. I thought I'd never see that cockpit again
So I went week's missing it so much. about a few years later, I tried installing D1 and D2 on my new system(had WinXP as an OS). D1 or D2 would not even work one freak'n bit! I was so Mad that I grabbed a chair and smashed it outside litterally!! No Joke. My Mom found out I did it and she told me that I shouldn't get upset over something that is just a game.I was able to understand her,but it was hard for me to hear that from my Mom. ....Even to hear it from one of you Descent players now gives me a flashback and really upsets me. So I soon forgot about it,put that Descent 1 and 2 the Definitive Collection box under my bed,in a metal box and I wrote a note saying that "If you see this note again Jaylen, remember that it is only a game... only a game...." Soon when I was 12 years old exectly one year ago from this day, I was bored out of my mind... Thought I'd look up stuff about the game that I used to play back when I was 3 years old for 3 1/2 years. I had a pretty highend system(CPU: AMD: Athlon x4,GPU: Geforce GTX 560).All until some time later,I was on my PC and saw some sparks that I could see coming from inside the case.3 secs later,I saw a small flame.Unhooked it from everything.and had smoke coming from the back.I dont really like to talk about it.It was a very bad memory for me
I found out about D2X-XL I didnt really like it,I was thinking that whoever made this program that is going to crash on me is freak'n mental.I didnt really care,I just wanted to play Descent! Played it for a while and then found out about Dxx-rebirth! I FELT LIKE I WAS 3 YEARS OLD AGAIN!!!
So I stuck with single player for about 5 months until Dxx-rebirth version 57.0 was released. I found out that Descent Multiplayer really worked and no ipx driver crap error that I used to have,but I now already know why I was having trouble back then with that.My first Anarchy game was hosted by Ryusei,the other players were Verran and I think IceWolf... I sucked in that game so much,I was a free kill to everyone. I didnt know how people could freak'n move while dogfighting,but now I am able to pwn all of you 3 lol ever since 2 games later after that and saying I suck so much in those 2 Anarchy Matches. ....... Until I found the player "Ryguy" I think of him as my master,He was able to show me the arts of being "Swagg" in Descent Multiplayer within 2 hours flat by hosting another game which both of us leaving the game and him hosting the same level "Kegparty". Ever since that,I was actually able to have fun in Descent with something to fight back with.I was using the kb+mouse then too.3 months later,played a co-op game in D1 with this guy named "Will" AKA Whoskyd and some other guy,I forgot his pilot name,but he isnt here in this Descent Community anymore....
Will decided to get me on the Dxx-rebirth mumble server which is now the Descent Task Force mumble server. Well,its just alot to tell. But Look at me now, 13 years old,plays Descent ALOT again,builds levels too,and thinking about getting into composing music!
I hhave to say that I am a TRUE Descent Freak!
...That's my "almost told story"
