We've all been told at least once in our lives by someone - most likely parents, relatives, or maybe even shock jocks - that videogames won't bring us any happy memories and it will all be a generalized blur when we're on our deathbeds. Let's prove them all wrong.
What are your fondest of video game memories? It doesn't have to have happened a long time ago, just a little thing which makes you all warm and fluffy inside just thinking about it.
My own fondest video game memories come from my early FPS days when I used to play Quake III Arena and later when I was very invested in pre-mannconomy TF2 enjoying a full server of players on MARIO_KART.

Parents were pretty strict so aside from a lot of "Educational" games and stuff my views were pretty limited. The weirdest I had played by that point were metroid 3 and tekken and I hadn't been much of a fighting game fan yet so really it was just Metroid. So when I saw the boxart of Legend of Mana on the shelves of Blockbuster it blew my fifteen-year-old mind. I took what little cash I had and rented it and between it being my introduction to JRPGs, the world being so strange and exotic along with everything having so vibrant and lively I couldn't put it down. Thinking back, I feel like I might've spoiled myself because the feeling of exploring the unknown in a genuinely new and different world was something I've yet to top. Going back, I still play it sometimes and I think it's the only game I've bought three times.

Crash 2 was far from my first game, but something about it (and the other Crash games) really left a big impression on me. I still remember playing it with my sister, raging at having trouble with a boss, and feeling so accomplished when I finally was able to beat it.

She died on an operating table during heart surgery. The person who recommended she should get heart surgery wasn't the person who actually performed it. Combining that knowledge with how surgeons are basically allowed to operate on trannies with no oversight makes me despise them almost as much as anything else on this Earth.

Playing Savage on Crossroads, Humans vs Humans. Crossroads is a slightly asymmetrical X shaped map, with each team having a spawn flag near the middle. So I just randomly joined a 64 player server with a game in progress. I get in and see the game's been going for 2 fucking hours. On fucking Crossroads. I get to the middle and see that the other commander made a 5 layer deep wall of towers with the only paths through being either through a tiny zig-zaggy hole the middle or by jumping off a fort that's part of the map's terrain, and that can only be climbed from the defender's side. Both teams have have multiple snipers fighting each other and preventing anyone from actually getting through the middle of the killing grounds. My team keeps trying to use catapults and ballistas to bring down the Shield Towers, but the enemy commander placed his towers to well that our siege needs to shoot from a vulnerable position + he has a bunch of players and workers on stand-by to repair the Shield Towers + has players on stand-by to repair the chip damage dealt to other towers. Suffice to say, the only reasonable way to look at that game was that my team had lost when they had let the enemy commander turtle up so well, and it was only a matter of time before the enemy managed a good push and fucked us over. But fuck it, I'm gonna try winning the god damn game on my own, because fuck you. My goal: get through the tower maze, cap the enemy flag, and have my entire team respawn itself behind the towers in order to destroy the shield towers and level the middle area.
Step 1: Find out where the enemy snipers are positioned so that I can approach The Hole with the least amount of risk and shots taken.
Step 2: Memorize the type and position of each tower in order to figure out how to maximize the use of my EMP-thing-like item grenade… thing. The one that disables the AoE/anti-infantry Chemical Towers. I can bring 3 per loadout, but I need at least 1 as back up to deal with the inevitable mine field around the enemy flag.
Step 3: Pay attention to the rest of the game and make sure to help if a strong push is happening.
Step 4: Do all of the above without making it seem like I'm trying to figure out a way through the tower labyrinth.
After about an hour and half, most of which was spent defending, I have my route planned out, my level is maxed out, I have enough money to keep purchasing all the stuff I need for my runs, I'm acquainted with each of the enemy snipers and roughly know what to expect from them. So I start trying for real, I get the timing down right for when the snipers are going to shoot so I can block the shots, avoid tower fire, throw grenades to neutralize the chemical towers and make it through with enough health to survive getting past the rest of the way. After a few attempts, I get a good one where I block every sniper shot, and dodge every arrow tower on the way to the position I need to be to throw my first grenade. I land my first grenade perfectly. I move in position to throw my second grenade while dealing with the more sniper shots because "why the fuck is this guy standing in front of our towers, and how is he still alive, shoot harder". Second grenade is a hit, I've disabled the chemical towers and I can strafe my way to The Hole, while still avoiding the arrow towers that don't get shut down by the EMP grenades. And just like that I'm in The Hole. And I start pinging the ever living shit out of my commander. I don't have time to type, and I sure as fuck didn't tell anyone what I was doing. My commander understood after a few seconds I could see that he had me selected. He demoted some random officer and promoted me, which gave a small health and health regen boost, and started giving me his very limited commander buffs. By the time he buffs me with damage reduction, I'm almost through the tower maze. As soon as I get out of tower shooting range, he gives me the sprint boost and I haul ass to the enemy flag. As expected, they have a god damn minefield there, so I throw my last grenade. I check the chat and commanders is spamming in all caps, telling the team to be ready to load out with siege weapons and to be ready to spawn at the enemy flag. The enemy commander demotes himself, spawns at his flag to fight me, only to instantly die from the grenade blowing up all the mines. I run up the flag and capture it, and within a second there's 20 ballistas and catapults spawned. 10 seconds later every tower in the middle is dead and the enemy team is trying to concede. I march ahead of the siege wave to the enemy fort, which is completely undefended because the other team just gave up.
This was 15 years ago. I still remember how god damn amazing it was.

I used to play Warcraft 2 with my brothers. We had several computers, mid 90's and my dad had been into computers since the started being personal machines. He built a few, and had made a few 'gaming' ones for his kids, as presents for never being around. [He would be gone for months / years at a time, but would try to be around for birthdays and holidays.] We're stuck inside because of weather, and the four of us all sit down and play. We do free for all, with teaming up optional. We all agree to play however we want, and it ends up being 3 v 1 versus the brother who was the best at the game. We defeat him, totally wipe him off the map, and then the game doesn't end. You could tick a box that let you win, when your allies were the only people left in the game, but ALL your allies had to tick it.
My oldest brother and I had not ticked it. We turned traitor, and killed the second player, intermingled with his army, and taking the first strike as he desperatly tried to un-ally before all his units were dead. Needless to say it was a massacre. Five minutes later, he was totally defeated. I stood up, happy at a win and a betrayal. No victory came. Oh no.
Lo and behold, i click off un-ally and rush toward my base. Too late. As we had begun cleaning up my brother, unsure of if that was his only base, my eldest brother had moved his army back to our joint base, "for defense." I should have known, but I was sure he wouldn't…
Defeat. He had played us all, and was relishing in his victory while we all lamented our foolishness and were berated by my other brother, the one we had defeated first. How could we fall for it. We could have had a chance at victory. It's one of those moments that I always remember, about how I used to get along perfectly with my brothers, how we could Raz eachother and be mean, but we would always get along. It was all for fun, and just kids being kids. We would play together, because the game was fun, and the stories we make were nice.
I miss those days.

Oh man Battlefront 1 was my first Battlefield-like game. I remember starting the Naboo level and seeing tanks and soldiers coming over the plains and just thinking "holy shit there's an actual battle going on".
I used to RP as an alliance guy who was the commander of the army, and I'd kinda pick a spot for my "command post", recruit some guards and defend that area. I also used to play ironman where I tried to go a whole game without dying once. Unfortunately the game counter was glitched and sometimes would end early even if you were the last man standing.
I played the absolute shit out of that game on my PS2 with the faulty laser. Fortunately I was able to pull it apart and fix it, but that was the end of the era where you could actually trust console makers. And San Andreas had some game-breaking bugs which IMO is when the whole "release it and fix it later" attitude started.
And it's a fucking pain in the ass searching Youtube for the old Battlefront 1 because EA hijacked the name. Now I have to search "Battlefront Classic" and all the actual old videos get buried by the new Battlefront. Why do people stand for this shit?

Nice trips. I used to think the counter was bugged too, but it's actually a ticket system rather than a "number of units that can spawn" system. Unless you were the last unit to spawn and there was one ticket left, the AI can still spawn some units. There was probably a friendly bot running around that you never saw, and he died. Also, try searching jewtube by upload date (oldest first). I'm not sure if that option is there but you'll certainly find videos of the old game that way if it is.

I never was too fond of hooks. Maybe for some occasional shenanigans involving sniper catapults on servers with no friendly fire. You generally had enough mobility options to get anywhere with any class if you had a decent sense of timing and enough health.
Using charged sniper shots to launch teammates was great.
Engineer wants to get to the other side of well and build a sentry on their battlements? One shot and they're sent flying there with their walking animation freaking the fuck out.
Piece of shit sniper doing nothing but camping on your side? One shot and they're sent flying there with their walking animation freaking the fuck out.

Some of the most fond memories I've had are playing tf2 with my brother.
He'd always play medic and i would go spy and try and fuck with him, once got him to uber me just for me to stair stab him on the A point of Gravel Pit.
Whole team went crazy and it was fucking great.
We were always poorfags so most of the memories i have are from old shit i got handed down to me or f2p games.
Right now my brother is into playing crappy battleroyale games and i get endless invitations to play fucking apex legends.
I played BR a few times, there really wasn't any excitement there that i remember when playing arena shooters, there is just no speed to battleroyale, never once did i get that feeling of an insanely crazy play like with tf2 and tribes ascend or that feeling of teamwork where you push the final cap with all your team working together.
It's literally just: walk around for long periods without action then shoot thing when they show up or die randomly

My only bad memory of vidya is being forced to play Tekken at the house of a shitbag acquaintance I had to do a project with in middle school. I see a lot of you have fond memories of multiplayer stuff, I've never cared for multiplayer anything, but I've always wanted to be less of a shit so I could use that as an excuse to keep up with friends.

Playing Runescape and Maplestory, just spending hours doing the exact same thing and having fun watching numbers go up. Grinding gold for the sake of having gold. Selling lobbies, or jst talking with the people you met on the Orbis ship ride.
TTT on Gmod, I played on a fairly close-knit server, people under 16 were instantly muted if they talked. Having fun shooting other regulars in the back, growing to recognize how different people played Traitors and being able to call them out when innocents died.
It's just not the same anymore, I was a lot easier to please back then. I think that's what I miss the most - being able to have fun with something without needing to nitpick every little flaw regarding balance or design. It doesn't help that multiplayer games and audiences are growing increasingly worse as time goes on.

I was in an empty tf2 server trying engineer tricks when some clueless czech kid with 180 ping connected. We talked a little and I stayed up for a pretty long time showing him the ropes, letting him take practice shots against me, watching him walk into walls. I stayed friends with him for a few more years after that, we weren't particularly close but it's a pretty vivid memory.
Some of my more recent memories are from game nights with you guys, thinking about some of the moments we've had makes me smile sometimes.

Playing Rock Band over at some friend house during highschool, really small house, and we kept banging the plastic shit and bawling at the microphone for most of the night cramped in a room where there was barely space for the drum kit besides the bed, cool parents too, even though we kept them awake they didn't stepped in or made us feel uncomfortable after, since they just asked my friend, his son, later and when we were gone if singing was really necessary.
Still get together very sporadically with those two to play smash and shoot the shit, they are the closest I have to friends and we don't even hang or really get in contact, we don't even talk that much outside of the reunions, we just check in on what the others are doing everytime we do get together.

Anon, a surgeon walked out on my then-8-year-old sister during open heart surgery for OVER AN HOUR. OVER AN HOUR. that self-obsessed prima-donna mercedes-driving CUCK walked out on a little girl's surgery for no apparent fucking reason, and that's 99% certain why she died. My parents were beginning to pursue legal action but they were too fucked up emotionally (they were/are already very dysfunctional and emotionally unstable people) to take it to the end against the hospital's legal team. FUCK surgeons, FUCK their vanity and massive egos, and FUCK their status as somehow better than anyone. If an illiterate fucking ditch digger walked off the job like that he'd be fucking fired, but surgeons are apparently way too important. I get their importance, and lord strike me down when the time comes I need one, but seriously, fuck them. Now they're keeping babies alive after birth to sell their organs. Fucking vote just passed in the fucking senate a few days ago. God damn it.

I played a game with a bunch of minigame modes set apart from the main game available at different times of the year. I got noticed by two different groups of players who were each into these kinds of game modes for spending lots of time there and getting good results. They each scouted me to play with them, so I got to hang out with a bunch of other experts and tryhards as we sync-joined games and stomped pubs. One of those groups played tournament matches in the winter for one of these minigames and we consistently placed in the top 8, often top 2. It was a great time of building my skills and growing in a team.
Sadly, I've lost touch with all of those players as the game lost activity and we separated ways.
