Also 15 years for me. Fuck man we are getting old as shit.

Also, loving Back 4 Blood. Highly recommend to everyone who enjoys coop zombie action. I play on steam. gLiTch handle was retired with FT. You can find me as theRemedy on Steam friends.

Super down for a rerun. I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on. I would look forward to that very much

Ok, as many of you know, woo-gaming, is my personal website, that is linked at the bottom of this page. But what many of you don't know is the story behind all of this. So here it goes. Settle in, get the hot coco, sit next to a nice cosy fire, grab my dick*COUGH* I mean, just sit back relax and enjoy the ride.

About 4 years ago, bleek came to the U.S. and just as fast as I discovered the joy of fast food, I discovered a little game called Counter-Strike:Source. Now back in my home country of Poland, I used to play CS 1.6 and 1.5 on these public computers that cost 5 zloty an hour, which comes out to about 2 american bucks. So the idea of having my own high speed internet for a fairly low price and enjoy online gamign was awesome to me.

Once i started play, I quickly found out that having a name like "name" is a noob thing, and decided to change it. Now one of my best friends in Poland, was a writer, a poet if you must, and went by the pseudonym 'Woodman'. So i too that as my name in CS:S.

I than proceeded to discover a little thing called surf, on a server called Bacon and Mooe's Surf Heaven. An awesome server that I played on for about 1.5 years. Was in a clan and stuff. Well one of the owners, and a friend of mine Mooe used to do this thing called the Mooe Call becouse his name was Moe. So I decided to parody it as a joke, and made up the 'Woody Woo' Woody comign from WOODman, and woo comign from the first 3 letters of that and also W being an upside down 'M' from the "Mo'' . ALot of people found it funny, and as a JOKE wore the 'Feel the Woo!1" in their names as a sort of 'clan'.

All of this fun and joy didn't last long. The server was disbanded, and at the time 'Woody' me was serverless. I opened up my good ol' trusty steam server list and noticed a surf server called "Fish Tank 24/7 Surf (FF/18+)". I decided to jump in.

I wasn't warmly welcome. After a day of playing I asked how one goes about getting into their what seemed to be, and was nice clan. I was told it was invite only, so I started playing there more often. Made some good firends such as Yoshi, Arcile, Kate, and Narf. It wasn't all peachy from the start however as I was not accustomed to the rules, and banned several times. After a long peril however I got into F7L5.

I than discovered the community that was, Fish Tank. I saw, how well organized it was, and what great people played here. I, in time grew to want to re creat in a sense a community, much like this one, however one which was not limited to CS:S. I needed a name. I remembered the 'Woo', a couple of freeweb sites later, I bought out the domain that is now my website, established a tag [#woo], and established my goal.

This is where the story ends. Why? Becouse it is still unfolding, and growing. And I truly hope it will continue to grow. I fel like sharing this with those who did not know that much about Woo, and now I hope you are that more smarter after knowing =P. Just wanted to get it off my chest. No funny story, just the truth.

I thought #woo was just another CS:S Clan, pretty good story! Definately didn't know you were a pole, seeing as you aren't dumb =P (Before anyone bashes me for the stereotype, I'm polish myself and only kidding!)

Good stuff Bleek!! <3 I was almost expecting that to have a "Wu" twist at the end of it where you talked about banging your cousin. But I enjoyed reading about the history of your tag. Thanks Bleek. Glad to have you here with us.
