NS 2? Heck Yeah!

in NS2 General Discussion
So, this morning at work I was talking about half-life with my co-worker. Then, out of the corner of my mind a game flashed through. It was a quick flash. I saw aliens, space marines, structures being built and exploding. I literally racked my brain the entire day trying to remember what the name of this game was. I even searched around asking if anyone knew what I was talking about.

I tried a different search on my phone before I left for the day and BAM! When I saw Natural Selection pop up at the top of my google search a flood of memories came rushing back all at once. It was like getting smacked by a freight train of awesomeness.

When I found out about Natural Selection 2 in the making, I almost felt out of the chair. There wasn't even a second thought when I pre-ordered it just now.

How the heck could I have forgotten about a game that I was obsessed with for a little more than a year of my life? Natural Selection was hands down one of the best online games I had played back in my hay day of PC gaming.

To the NS community: I am back!!!

    Didn't google work?

    If I put aliens space marines half-life into google the first link is a wikipedia article on natural-selection(video game).

    That is where I messed up on the first search. I didn't think to relate it to Half-life until the end.
