I was about 5 in 1999...let that sink in lol.The regular formally known as Pidgeot_Girl,
"Nurse" (noun): a person you see after you say "hold my beer and watch this."
Since Nursing is no longer considered a "Profession" by DOE standards....I am not liable for what may come out of my mouth, embrace Nurse Ratched!

From Wayback Machine Post:
January, 1999. Guess what happened then?? That was the first date that a "Cain's Lair" game server went public on the Internet. It was a Quake 2 Server, and I had to beg and plead for folks to play there. It sat empty most of the time unless I was sitting in there hoping someone would join, or my friends were in there playing Quake 2 with me. Geddy, 8Something, Hazmat, FearFactory, Feynman, and some others.
It was not until I put up a Half-Life DM server that things started to get busy.
Then the Tribes server was a run-away success and spent most of its life as the Number 1 Tribes Server in the World. Next big thing was UT, then later CS, and CS put a bullet through the brain of the Tribes server.
Now UT has faded and UT2003 is in its place.
CS is still going very, very strong with no end in sight.
I continue to tweak the servers. CS has settled in at 26 players, and UT2003 is settling in at 20 players. This always leave lots of CPU so both servers do not step on each other's toes.

Do not play HL with Cain, ever. He put up a server years ago and murdered everyone.

Where do you put the Bayonet?
