Started playing Quake /Unreal Tournament online years ago, then played CS up to version 1.2 (pre steam) when my hard drive took a dump, and I lost all of my games (they were not exactly store bought versions). Then one day while searching the clearance racks at Target I saw a copy of Counter Strike CZ on sale for $15.95, and thought "what the hell, I'll give it a try". The second day i was playing I found the PUNX server, and the rest is, well you know the rest.
