If anyone remembers......
10/22/12 at 18:06:53
 
There was this mystery I had ten years ago that was never solved.
About 10 years ago when TMBO came out there was this guy named
Hi : )
He would appear and kick the shit out of everyone and then disappear.
Unlike Hatemachine this guy was always nice and polite.
He showed up shortly after the game released, and was very skilled, like he knew almost everything there was to know about the game.
Did anyone ever find out who this guy was?
I really suspected that he was either Jaffe or someone at Ingognito.
Did anybody ever get any info on this guy?

Yes I played with him a lot. He was originally an unlimited weapons player until he migrated to the regular games. He was very good but I wouldn't say unstoppable. IIRC, he was one of the blacklisted unlim players but became very well liked and was always super chipper.

I talked to him and Aced14 months ago before the new TMX launched (back when the demo released) and all 3 of us were trying to play together (hah, fat chance).

He did in fact hate the new game, surprising I know!, and I assume went back into the shadows.

I have his PSN but I don't think he logs in often at all.

Ah good old Hi.

He actually became a really good friend and frequent player of the night crew towards the twilight of the TMBO server.  We used to speak to each other over AIM.

He was excited to join us all for the new game . . . until he played it.

Rimshot!

This is like a TM3 fan suddenly deciding he doesn't like TM3 anymore, because you convinced him it sucks and he wants to fit in with us. This is the absolute last person I would consider a good judge on what makes a good TM. So his opinion on TMPS3, null and void, weightless. Master of the skill-weapon-shuffle, yeah lets mark him up as another unsatisfied customer.

Unlimited Weapons was the absolute lowest form of TM ever to grace us, and half the server was dominated by it, it was a cancer. I remember actually being angry at these players. The only reason HI:) changed was peer pressure, you don't just suddenly 'not like unlimited' anymore. Just like a pedophile doesn't just suddenly not like little children anymore. He'd have kept playing unlim if it was popular and if he never found out how much we hated him. Coincidentally the new TM actually supports unlimited weapons in unranked, yet no one plays it (it's kinda hidden down the list but it's there). I'm sure HI:) would very much enjoy it.

It just irks me when certain players change their tastes in TM overnight, like suddenly now they're connoisseurs and too good for TMPS3, when in the past they'd have lapped it up based on their past playing history. You don't have to love the game, but we're all supposed to be Twisted Metal fans.

You may have no forgiveness in your heart for HI:) Mort, but you left long before you got to know him.  

He ditched unlims long ago, and played for years the "approved way."  He's a solid fan of the Twisted Metal that was.

Twisted Metal fans?  With so many versions I'm not sure what that means anymore.  What I DO know is people can CHANGE, in fact, they can do complete 180's.  

So can a video game series apparently.  

Edit:  You might want to be careful by the way.  Magnum fits the exact same description that HI:) did, and he changed.  You know, with your whole pedophile reference and stuff.

I can understand disliking something you used to like. But not liking something you used to not prefer. That is like saying you like sex with a condom. When really you are just so desperate that the condom isn't a deal breaker. Or saying you love health food when in reality if beef jerky tasted like celery you would hate it.

I love TM2PC but it's a seriously fucked up game. It doesn't even really look as good as the PSX version. In fact the emulated PSX version wipes the floor with the PC version in multiple ways. But we play the PC version because it's the only choice we have to play TM2 online.

Our community is hilariously small and split between 3 games. Hell i don't think anyone plays TM2 anymore. Most of the TM2 players migrated to the new game. We never have to worry about a room being too full.

Except in the new game. I can get around 10 to 14 players in a TLMS game pretty easily. It'll suck when the active player base goes away. But all things considered there are actually more people playing this then TMBO or TM2PC.

Eh. To me the PC version looks better, and runs at a steady framerate so that movement is much more fluid. Im sure the emulator fixes the PSX framerate but holy balls that game ran at like 5 FPS (try driving backwards sideways).

No one plays TM2PC anymore and really hasn't for years. Hell the last couple years of its life it was really only 4 people, including myself.

I also dont really agree that most TM2 players migrated to the new game.

I wouldn't say our community is split between 3 games either. Most people here don't even play a TM game of any kind to begin with.

I don't count the people who don't play TM games anymore. They only come to TMA to bitch.

The only thing I like about TMPS3 is that it still feels like the Twisted Metal we all loved.
TM2PC is just too outdated, 16 years is a long time (but it gave me the most fun for a video game).
If Twisted Metal Lost was ONLINE it would be more fun to me than TMPS3, much more fun.
TMBO would be just as fun but its offline.
Twelve years ago when my dad was 72 I got him hooked on TM2PC.
Well he's still alive at 84 and still able to play video games, I just hope he's still alive when the next TM comes out.

I agree with Kilrahi, people can change.

actually playing unlims is a great way to become a pro, you get to know how to use each weapons and see when it is the best time to use them along with coming up with combos. that is how I pwned everyone at TMHO Cheesy

Keep telling yourself that.

It won't make it true.

Hi :] was a cool guy and definitely didn't fit the bill for a unlimited player once we got down to our smaller group of TMBOers. He was pretty solid and helped fill in those rooms. Although I never got to know him, he was a cool guy and was a part of our TMBO crew until the end.

other two guys that I haven't seen in TMX was the >< players, like Legend. Pretty sure I played with mito when it first came out though but soon departed. Anyone know what happened to these guys? did they even play TMX?

Mito doesn't like the new Twisted Metal.

Legend gave up on video games completely a few years back.
