First touch: Toribash
I had a huge love for ragdoll games back then... I mean, the love remains but not so powerful as it used to be.
A lot of flash games were played and in a continuous search for bigger and better games, I found Toribash. The videos amazed me, the images had a good look and plus, the greatest thing of all: it was free.
Further download and instalation happened so quick that the shortcut for the game was already at my desktop. That white circle splattered with blood and some kind of t on the middle. Click, window open, first account created. The nickname? I still remember it but it will remain as a mystery. Tutorial started, first moves made, mouth wide open, astonished.
The tutorial moves were so amazing that almost made me jump of my chair in pure happiness for finally have found the game I was looking forward for so long. After beating Uke with luck on my side, the game redirected me to an aikido multiplayer server. Confusion started to invade my mind since I had not a minimal clue what was happening. Somehow realized that I had to wait for my turn... fuck. I was somewhat impatient back then so the waiting knocked a bit of the happiness away.
But my moment eventually arrived and the excitement was on again. Quickly thought: 'Oh boy! This is going to be sooo epic... I'm totally going to tear that guy apart.' Sadly, reality decided to bitch slap me hard. Soon lost my first match after trying to figure out what the hell was I trying to do. Second and third match came and dammit... happiness faded away quickly, the awesome moves not happening, everything crumbling down.
Window closed and second click on the icon. Same result until I found out the menu button with that amazing single player mode. First basic moves: clap, grabbing and stuff. But I quickly decided to quit... my patience ran out.
Removed the game, erased everything related to it... date: late February, 2010.
1 month later, another shot and my alias was created: hayz. It was a nickname randomly created at the moment and with no meaning at all. I wasn't expecting to make it my permanent account. But it happened, somehow... and now, almost three years later, I still kindly remember the moment.
Nowadays: hayz still doesn't has meaning but it's the nickname I use for pretty much everything... like I said: it's a alias of mine.
And a long story proceeds...

Felt like doing it.
Is it reason enough for you?
It's just a freaking story, for God's sake.
A story that tells my first experience with this game.
It wasn't created to be dramatic nor comedic nor romantic.
Just a plain episode of my life.
Did you like it? Good.
Did you hate it? Great.
You didn't read it at all? Excellent.
Last but not least.
Take it easy.
And have a good Sunday, my friend.
