Serious Sam story that is
The content below will be probably updated.

Part 1
It started between 2002 and 2003 (to specify yet), when Jay brought it on a CD to my home. Because in 2002 I had my 1st pc ever at age of ~8. It was Serious Sam the First Encounter 1.05 version if i recall correctly. It could be also Second Encounter.
So, at the beginning I've played Single Player, on easiest difficulty possible. I played when i only could - I loved that game (it was one of the first games I've played).

Part 2
With next months, Jay was comming to my home to play splitscreen. That time was AMAZING.
We had 2 mouses connected, and were figuring out how to set controls for separate movement.
When finally controls were set, we played some outstanding split screen games! Jay was winning all games, but I tried so hard, clench my butt to kill him, so offensive style.
He teached me to not use power ups, etc.
It was a challange gamestyle, no1 could frag him on the begining.
Damn i tried so hard to frag him even once - finally i managed to do it! Knowing that he was one of the elite players on the world, fragging him was like magnificent feeling, best day of life. I did it on Little Trouble so this map stayed my favorite map of all time since then.

Part 3
Later on, I've been visiting him sometimes etc. to watch how to play online. It was between 2003 or 4 - 2006 - 7. (wide, but to specify) He had internet access that time. I had a littlebit of skill already too, so I played few times and wasn't worst at all. He was also writing on gamezone, in english that i couldn't understand much that time.
We decided to make fake player for me somewhere later those years. We named me "Warrior" or "The Warrior", with purple color if I recall correctly. Jay said he will play with that alias, but I must train home and come to him more recently to learn and train online. I agreed, but dunno if he played as me, also i didn't start to visit him more recently - the only transport method i had was bus/taxi, and no cash .
At that time we also had some lan games with jay and rest of bros with 2 pcs. Insane was playing full-screen 1v1, we also made some tourneys at nights. 2 vs 2, 1v1, good times, best times!
Somewhere in those years 2005-2007 we were also checking out gamezone members photos, from show myself thread. The most epic moment which stayed in my memory, was when he opened some person's photo firstly with Katana in hands, and then 2nd photo without it, then Jay said "he lost it" I LOLD SO HARD i almost cried my eyes out , because there was a mess in the pic too if I remember well.
Also Jay brang to me few mods for TSE, downloaded from SeriousZone. I had so much fun with bros in those mods, checking new things is always fun.

Part 4
My parents set up internet in my house for the first time in 2007 when i was 14. I've downloaded mostly used things, and ofc. prepared Serious Sam.
I played Serious Sam online since then. More recently than whenever before. Was checking forums as a guest, but finally (jay made me? or i thinked of it myself) I've made a forum account with name of RayChyl. First thread I've (Jay) started was HERE. I've sticked to forum rules and Serious Sam rules like some kind of nerd - was afraid of getting to penalty box etc. Tried to be nice person. FUNFACT GameZone24 are the first forums i have ever registered at .
After a while, Ive started to download all mods, and files i could find on SeriousZone and GameZone24. I've collected a massive number of files. It pushed me also to mapping - i've started doing it before internet, but simple shits. I've made few maps which can be found somewhere here on forums, mostly those maps were just ripped off some other games, I didn't have much creative ideas, but when I had one i always forgot during making a map. So all maps I've done are crappy .
After downloading many mods/skins/maps, I've packed them to separate .gro files, and uploaded on filefront (worst idea ever), then posted on GameZone, so no1 have to search and download for few days . Couple of months later Filefront changed name, and closed access to certain countries. Couldn't reach my files, and as a result they got removed.

Part 5
In the time, I've team up with Angelo, dunno how it all started, but lasted for few months - skype talking, playing all the time.
I've grown in skill, and got invited to few clans. I was clanless, and didn't want to join any at the time. Click wanted me in Devils, but as i refused, he said if I ever wanted to join them, start a thread and i'll be in
Somewhere at the begin of 2011, I've stopped playing Sam often and left forums behind. Sometimes was checking only. I had some more real life experiences . But as I read one post, i've decided to come back, at the end of 2012. A long break imo. Didn't get back to Serious Sam entirely yet, Jay wasn't back on forums yet too, so i convinced him to do it. We made a crypto-clan called Fatal Error, and played few games. As interest on GameZone grew, we finally revealed ourselves. (Dates to be set)

Somewhere in time, when absence of internet had yet, i've lost my pirate copy of ss.
I wanted to play serious sam so hard after time, that I just went to the city on foot to search in kiosk's/newsstands, for magazines which could have Serious Sam eventually.
Chances were like 1/1000 that latest magazine number will have serious sam in it. I walked half the city, and when headed back home, visited last kiosk/newsstand.
Looked around for a second, almost finished searching, and in front of my eyes occured magazine with full version of Serious Sam the Second Encounter! That was amazing!!!!!!!! who would've think i was so happy, damn, that was unbelievable!
So sam is dead now, i have no secrets, i used cheats once, WH against an opponent online, i considered him cheating too, on Hole. But i couldn't get used to it, and throw with window. Found out also that opponent wasn't cheating on demo later, so i felt bad xD.
It was similar as with cigarettes, i've tried once, but didn't like it and never smoked again.
Since then i've used cheats only on demos once or twice, still hard to see anything...
