Dateline: -, -, 1998

When I first played Jazz Jackrabbit 2, I had went to the currently dead 'official' JJ2 site: http://www.jazzjackrabbit.com/

After a while I updated JJ2 to 1.23Shareware version then I started playing and meet my 2 first friends. I completely forgot their names but strangely after like a month I never saw them again, I met them in DiamondusWarzone CTF.

I bugged my dad to buy me Jazz Jackrabbit 2. I had played the demo of Jazz Jackrabbit 1, I have been toying around with Epic stuff. I guess I forgot what happened :P. Hmm, ok so after Jazz2 was bought at a Best Buy store located on Kirkwood Highway. I was in the front seat of my dad's Pinegreen Ford Ranger constantly taking it out of the box and looking at it.

I constantly was reading the back of the box and stared at all the back cover art. Finally, we arrived at my home and I raced inside, took off my shoes, loaded up the PC, and popped JJ2 in the CD drive. *Oooooh, Self Destruct looks tempting! Bleh, it doesn't do anything!*

Ahh, yes at that time I believe I was using Microsoft Windows 98. Not much of a difference 5 years later, because I now use Microsoft Windows 98: Second Edition. After I decided where to install JJ2, I chose drive G. And it automatically created a directory (G:/Jazz Jackrabbit 2).

Ok so right away I went on to playing and finishing the platformer single player levels. I think it took me a couple of days-a week. Alright so after a while I started playing Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Multiplayer mode.

Well after a while I eventually discovered the 2 greatest JJ2 sites of all time: Jazz2City and Jazz2Stuff. Both sites are dead so no need to give the links. Ok so I started hosting MP games. It took me a while before I started making levels like I remember that back then I had no clue at all how to make levels.

I guess you can say that I taught myself how to use JCS. My first level was dang funny looking hahaha. I didn't know how to make a background/wallpaper so I ended up putting all the background tiles in layer 4, hahaha. Ok my first 2 level, the first was this was in a Sonic tileset pack.

O, I know you all remember those classic Sonic3 sets, forgot who made them :P. Ok so eventually overtime I got better and better at making levels. Finally when I played Jazz2 I eventually learned about clans and met some people.: JJ Sysop, ShadowGPW, and JJ Xeno GPW, I think :P.

I joined the JJ (Jazz Jackrabbit) clan. I was in it fooooooor sooooooo long! But eventually Sysop disappeared and appeared that he never came back. Also Xeno disappeared, I had no clue where he went. I was in GPW for a short period of time, before I left before GPW changed their name from the best: God's Promise to Win to some other thing, also because of no multiclanning.

I eventually learned about the new gametypes: Survivor, Hotel, and Puzzle. Yes, I made a puzzle level. It was fairly successful, I rated the difficulty: Medium. As I hope I got at least 5 people, even better more into the Hall of Fame.

Overtime I joined the CC (Cracco clan). I learned that it had tons of members. Ok so I was in the clan for a good 1/2 years. Eventually which was a couple weeks back me and a man named Drake started a clan, called SDU (Silver Dragons United). We are slowly building, and so it's fun to make clans, even better when there is a co-leader, it was his idea to make a clan.

After that happened I left all clans I was in, only 2 I was in JJ and CC. So left them and made SDU. Around a couple of weeks/months back beforre SDU everyone started adapting to this no multiclanning rule. Eventually CC caught on, and JJ was dead (for a looong time, but I never wanted to admit it). So me and Drake made SDU the same way, no multiclanning.

After a while, I started leaving and recoming on JJ2. I got soooo bored of the game :P. That's when I started downloading what you all call as "Warez." Eventually I came and left JJ2, ok so eventually I returned for a long time. I might leave and join again.

Recently crazy organizations that aren't clans started popping up. I believe only 2 were made so far, EVIL and GOOD. These organizations aren't exactly clans, so we allowed SDU members to join them. I joined EVIL.

Alright that's practically my life story. 5 years later since the creation of Epics 2nd most popular game (guessing boring Unreal Tournament is first). And people are still flooding in and the term "oldie" has been adapted to most JJ2 members.

Crosis, Shadow, me, Xeno, Trafton, (maybe IAm Canadian), Wakeman, etc...

Hope you enjoyed a look into the life of [SDU]T.
