I felt sad.Rest is peace is good.Hope for the best.
OMG - I am very sad by this, in my absense- I didnt even know
RIP Freestyler..
I can't believe I am just reading this:( I guess I've been away too long.
I remember playing Freestyler and he was a very good player and a good sportsman. You couldn't ask for a better player to help hone your own skills.
RIP Buddy:bawling:
RIP freestyler
Felt some Sam nostalgia of late and thought it unacceptable that I had never commented on this thread.
Thinking back, I'm sure I spent a greater portion of my freshman Sam year watching player demos than I did actually playing the game (you know, in a desperate bid to find a cure to my nightly in-game suffering). Of the many demos I played back and all those I admired and sought to learn from, a certain Freestyler was always my absolute favourite to ride shotgun with. Aliased or not I became so familiar with his game he was instantly identifiable via POV, and indeed my all time favourite demo starred FS taking down an entire horde of Mercs in the Tombs. You all know how that map can be in a full server, and that one game, while not an easy win for him, was a thing of chaotic carnage and beauty. I'll post it someday.
Someone nailed it earlier when they called him a natural - that's absolutely spot on! He had a flow and momentum to his game that, well, you could feel that this was fun for him... if not so much for those suffering at the receiving end of his endeavours. Though our actual verbal interactions were sadly limited, he was thus a huge stylistic influence early on as I settled into a fragmatch identity of my own, and while my abilities were but a distant echo of his talent, I offer up some of the better elements in sincere homage.
Watching him play Sam made ME want to play Sam, and I can think of no greater kudos from the sadly limited perspective of a fellow gamer.
Rest in Peace indeed. [ledge lumps and launches an aerial rocket skyward in his honor]
