Freelancer

[Zukeenee]

Well, let's see, what does my join date say? March '06? Yeah, that's probably about right.

I had just been over to a friend's house (some of you know/knew this guy as Kane) and watched him play an interesting spaceship-game-thing. I found it interesting. He offered to bring his disc over and install it on my machine next time he was in my area, so I said sure. I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to get an interesting-looking game for free.

So he installed it, and then he installed some mod so that I wouldn't need the disc to play (it was his disc, and he wasn't just going to give that to me). Turned out that mod was Discovery 4.7-something. He also encouraged me to sign up for the forums that were related to the mod.

My very first days of Freelancer were also my very first days of Disco.

So yeah, I've had it almost 5 years now. And yes, in that time, I bought my own disc when I found it at some electronics store for ten bucks.
