What brought you here and made you join Beyond3D?

Probably something related to Idtech 4

 

that was a long time ago, I don't think I remember, I mostly lurked to absorb all possible knowledge until I reach critical mass... ^^
I remember Dimension3D that was before Beyond3D, and Beyond3D as a forum only ^^

 

News, rumors and information about unreleased GPUs mostly

I was lurking for a long time before I joined.

 

all the R600 rumors, now that was a silly season if you ever saw one.

 

Keeping abreast of IMG related info.

 

I was introduced to the forum shortly after I started working at IMG

 

The opportunity to be in an environment where I am superior to everyone else

 

Did you achieve that goal?

 

I have no memories from before 2005. No idea.

 

Can't remember exactly how I found this place. I know I was looking for a place to catch up on 3D tech & consoles after being away from the industry for over a year. Remember finding a lot of guys from my old Dimension3D forums here. Felt like home immediately.

My x800pro that performed like crap. Came here to ask for help/complain hehe.

I was 17 and angry

 

I came for the Humus.

Humus was last seen:
Dec 7, 2013

 

It was a stunning success

 

Once upon a time in an era known now only as the "nineties" there was a flourishing online community exchanging ideas, benchmark results and image quality debates using an ancient means of communication called "USENET News." The community lived in a small subset of that communication medium commonly referred to as the "3dfx groups."

Then times changed and that fabled era known as the "nineties" gave way to a new era where 3d cards needed something called "T&L" but, alas, 3dfx cards focused on an older religion known as "bandwidth" and, as such, 3dfx faded into oblivion and, with them, so too went that fabled community in the 3dfx groups.

The terrible destruction of the USENET community led to a refuge crisis. Fortunately for the 3dfxers, xenophobia was frowned upon in those days and another community, "Beyond 3D Forums" and their leader "Wavey Dave" welcomed the 3dfx refugees.

So, yeah, that's why I'm here. Quite a few others too, though we don't participate as much as we once did. Old age.

 

Legendary!

 

People that use arguments to argue instead of opinions base on marketing slides.

 

In my case...



Hahahaha!

 

Oi, Mize are you trying to steal my position as b3d's resident religious scholar ?
In the beginning there was the word - aka text based games like Zork
and the people did thank the Gaming Gods, but those who rejected the word were eaten by a grue

 

Are you from Brazil?
