Yeah, but was that dude even Matt C?
I had an alt account at SC where I'd post a normal gaming post and then would say something about porn. Yeah....
Moderators: Bill_Abner, ScoopBrady
the f***? what? someone peddled you porn?
Hey were you the guy who worked at the Federal reserve or something in STL? And it turned out to be a s*** job? and someone else on SR told you it would be s*** before you got there? Maybe that was Tjung as I remember he was from Missoura.sportdan30 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 1:20 pmCongrats Danimal on retirement! I'm only about 13-15 years behind you.
Anyways, I think I started over at Sportsreviewers when I was around 27. I think I went by sportdan27 back then. Likely was there for a few years. At one point, someone had old posts from way back yonder.
Superior Man kept things interesting and truthfully, I found it rather humorous. At least it kept the site pretty active. Never quite understood the animosity... all in good fun at the time.
What happened to Jackdog? Hope he's doing well.
Remember bdoughty? I think he came over from OS and stirred some stuff up, but mostly kept us all up to date on the goings on of video gaming. Anyone heard from him?
Sadly, it feels like this place is slowing down a bit, which is to be expected given our age. I'm still trudging along with my season in MLB The Show. Many of the AAA titles (that are 10 hours or longer) do not appeal to me. I still like to play the occasional entertaining games like Spider-Man and GTA, but the darker and gritty games have passed me by. It's really back to sports games every now and then to get that 30 minutes of excitement I felt back in my 20s and 30s. Pushing 50 now and I begin to wonder if this is sadly my last console generation.
Keep on keeping on guys!
Think if we had SR during this Twitch era? It would be cancelled in 2 min.TCrouch wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 4:02 pmWe're all old as f*ck.
That is the only certainty anymore.
When I spent like 10 years reviewing stuff on OS, helping build it from nothing to what it became along with Steve over there, it feels like a lifetime ago. Somehow stumbled onto SR and that seems like the golden age of online gaming/discussions/etc.
Now it's so much info, so much negativity, so many things out there pulling for attention that I just can't be bothered to give a sh*t about any of it anymore
Not heard from Brent since last spring, when he nuked his account at Digital Gaming Nation. Up until then, I would have told you he'd mellowed a bit, and he would likely have hated me saying so. Hope he's keeping well.sportdan30 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 1:20 pmRemember bdoughty?

Neckthai? Still working in comms for IndyCar.
I lurked at SR but never posted. At the time I hadn't worked out that it isn't normal for the thought of posting on a forum to induce anxious sweating, so for the sake of my hydration I limited myself to posting at, then later writing for, Calvert Games. (I sometimes chuck that in to posts as a means of summoning Jonathan for one of his occasional flypasts, a bit like Halley's Comet occasionally flies past.) I still remember that when I first worked up the nerve to post here, PK said he'd dug my work at CG and I felt like I was receiving praise from Caesar, though nobody ever recorded how many people Caesar ultimately came to know as "you Limey d*ck".
Hell, NO. It wasn't me! It probably was Matt Chamberlain, the editor and founder of Sports Reviewers. I enjoyed writing for Matt, but he was a peculiar guy. He just disappeared once Wewp and then Sports Reviewers morphed into this place. Haven't heard from him in probably 20 years.
Yes Neckthai , that's him! I remember he had some videos on youtube interviewing the racers. good he's still got the same gig. Must be fun for him. Does he travel the world for F1 too? that must be exciting.pk500 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 2:39 pmHell, NO. It wasn't me! It probably was Matt Chamberlain, the editor and founder of Sports Reviewers.

As for updates on others, Neckthai is still alive and well. We still work together in INDYCAR racing, and I stay at his condo when I'm in Indy to work races. He's one of my best buds.
Jackdog is the veteran who lost his leg in Iraq. I wouldn't be surprised if he still lurks here, although I haven't heard from him in at least five years. We used to talk on the phone at least weekly around 15 years ago. Great guy. Hope he's OK.
I've been online since mid-1994, but SR and then this place were the first true online communities to which I belonged. Since then, I've joined a ton of audiophile headphone forums and a bunch of sub-Reddits for hobbies. But this joint was the first and always will be the best.
I joined late compared to many of you, back in 2004, after starting reviewing for a defunct sports video game site. Thinking back to 1994, I guess I was online too in those internet forums.pk500 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 2:39 pmI've been online since mid-1994, but SR and then this place were the first true online communities to which I belonged.

Too late. I already have around $2,000 invested in three pairs of over-ear headphones and a desktop DAC/amp setup, and all were used! That's just a start ...

I'm still older -- on my birth certificate but not my mind!fletcher21 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 07, 2022 7:09 amSR was my first real forum, as a young and arrogant 19/20 year old. So many good memories and so many buddies we have lost. I especially enjoyed chatting to HipE, Airdog and BBBozo. And who can forget siam007 and his World Cup soccer commentary in the chat. Hard to believe it’s been that long and now my oldest kid is nearly the same age I was at that time.
Pk500 was an inspiration for me. An “older” guy who was (and still is) into gaming. I found sim racing from Paul, most notably WoO Sprint Cars (apparently a new one is coming this year??) and the old Colin McRae racing. I recall we had some rudimentary CM “league” on SR.
This is some high quality free entertainment.
hey vinny - i think i sort of remember you from SR days.vinny-b wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 7:56 pmthanks for the welcome backs. Very kind of you all.
thankfully, life has been good. Wedding anniversary will be 10 years next month, married to the most gorgeous sista, I've ever seen/known. We own a nice suburban house in Idaho. Downside? I do miss the PS3/360 era, when had day & night to actually play games (I continue to follow all gaming news/game releases intently). It was a simpler life then. Anyway, I value the friendships which made on this site, and the joyous exchanges, often involving vidgaming, but not exclusively. Will check a few recent threads on the site, bump a few, and maybe pick up where we left off. Vin
