I started in 2001, there was a thing called "lan fever" here in Brazil because of CS, lan houses were popping out of nowhere every corner, kids would play for hours, it was the funniest thing ever...
The feeling of joining the server and try to beat everyone else while they were right next to you watching you, it's out of words, only people that lived that know how different of a fun it was. When someone was knifed everybody would shout at him it was amazing hahaha... the only comparable thing back then was Goldeneye with 3 friends.
(Btw, it is fy_iceworld not "icework" lol)
