The thing is, I think I like thinking of myself as not being able to compete with them.
That's what still makes MoH:H2 great to this day: the way we remember it. I remember those guys as being untouchable when I fought them, and that's what makes it so damn amazing. It's got a sense of magic to it, like The Chronicles of Narnia did for us when we were young.
I love remembering them as being unnaturally good, to the point where you almost couldn't believe that they were real. I think that's what made me keep at it even though I was never going to be as good as they were.
I've never had that attitude about anything since MoH. Frankly, I don't care about how good I am at anything anymore. Now I don't get into flame wars over who's better than who, but I don't have that passion for the game like I did.
I want to go back to January '08 and get my ass kicked more times than I can count. I'd go through the hell that was 10th grade again just for that chance. Fracking nostalgia. ;_;
So you're the same age as me, huh? I always thought you were older because, well... I like acting retarded online and I'm 17, so with your higher level of maturity, I thought you were a couple years older or something.
You have no idea how bad I would want to go back to that time though. Leaving high school sucks on its own (not because of the learning, make sweet sensuous love that IRS; I refer to a lot of my friends that I probably won't be seeing). I want to go back to January '08 just as bad as you do, and MoH is only one reason. :(
I turned 18 a few months ago, so we're not too far apart. I always thought you were older, too. D:
Leaving high school sucks so much. If life were a game, high school would have been the tutorial where you got used to everything. I'm going to miss not having any serious responsibilities. =/
Most of my close friends are staying close to home, so I won't have that to worry about. I actually visited my high school yesterday to say hi to my favorite teachers and classmates. Those underclassmen grow up so fast.

I'ma be 18 in September. D: But I'm not one of those mothafuckas that wanna rush things, I always try to enjoy things while they last. However I agree with everything you said in that post, everything. Except I didn't go to my highschool, it hasn't opened.. but I don't think I would go back anyways considering I didn't hang out with kids who were a year or two younger, but only friends in my own grade.
