Was disappointed that the Discord wasn’t titled Fort[y+]nite…anyway, see you guys in a few years.

Could walking football be a game changer for older people?

Isn’t Fortnite for older players called Paintball?

So, does this mean I can join in if I’m on a PC?

If so, then maybe I’ll come and teach you 40-year-old youngsters a thing or two, and declare the entire island my lawn.

[jlw]

Yes. Xbox and PC can play together already. Not sure when the PS4 gates actually open.

Cool, I’ll check it out!

I’m an old player, but I do have an important skill. I learned to spew vile trash talk playing Counter-Strike in 1999.

Counter-Strike in 1999.

You can be the designated Deagle expert. There is a purple and a gold gun that I love to call the Deagle. I used the AK as combo sniper/battle rifle, in the way back when.

I play de_dust2 on infinite repeat, always as terrorist. Rush in with Deagle. Set up and to cover the planter, usually with an AK until I can afford something better. Wash, rinse, repeat for 6 hours.

The age limit is not enforced, no id will be checked

Shrug not a big deal either way, I still have the fake ID I use to buy ultraporn.

Doom…90’s. Over multiple null modem cables.

Though, tbh, most of the swearing was done at the computers, trying to get everyone to hit ENTER at exactly the same time so everyone could synch and the game would actually run.
