Man... Half-Life 1 and the OG Unreal Tournament.

The former was more playing with Visual C++ 6.0 with the SDK, mind you. The latter was just hours and hours of team death match and CTF. So good.

Modding HL was how I got my first real introduction to C/C++; I follow a bunch of tutorials off of Wavelength/Radium (I think?) and managed to change a few things.

It seems like the mod scene for a lot of games has kind of died out, at least for shooters.

Yeah, definitely. Although the Doom engine releases are neat to play with. If I was creating a total conversion these days, I'd probably do it with the Doom 3 engine... which is sad, because that thing is old. Still looks great though, and beats using Darkplaces!
