I played competitive Quake CA/CTF and CS back in the day, owned a game server hosting company, travelled for it too, I've got a low digit steam id, but anymore I play Madden/FIFA/RockBand in my extra time with the kids. Every now and then I'll load up and go play some CS...and get banned for "wallhacks". Kids don't realize the value of sound and 20 years of playing these types of games.
