wat?

yes i have a lot of rapha's demos

Ah, miss SHOD.

I miss it too. Although, I don't miss having to manage 100's of gigs in my inbox... :P

wat?

this used to be a thing, but now it is not. #RIP

it's the site from which sujoy made this.

I think it's the site which inspired Hakeem and Sujoy (mostly Hakeem) to make XSRv1, and then bds to make XSRv2 which was really the precusor to eSportsAddicts which subsequently became first XSReality and now and finally is ESReality, created by Sujoy alone and since revamped and tweaked variously by Demiurge/Yeltsin/nistley and seven/anonymous/brandan.

hey, words.

damn nice history.

Etienne, are you following any Quake these days? Quakecon is happening right now, if u didnt know :p

True. I was running out of passion fast due to a number of factors, so I gave Sujoy and BDS my demo archive and even posted a few articles early on, but kinda just stopped doing Quake things for a long while.

Glad people remember my site, though. :)

you got me into quake :) thanks to shod i realized there was this huge community of competitive players...

that, and it was the place to get the demos the top players didn't want you to see :p

Hey Just an old timer looking back fondly on SHOD. The blue themed website I can still recall. Went looking through the internet archive at it. It was amazing. Thanks, 20+ years later.

Went to XSR reality in the internet archive as well. Even found some demos of me there. Sadly the demo files were not included in the snapshot from the either site.

Amazing memories. Thanks Stayne.
