<div style='font: 11pt Modern; text-align: left; '>It is a hard game and if you are new to it, it can be super frustrating. I am by no means the greatest SS player on the planet but playing for 4 or more years will learn ya a thing or two.
You know, when I switched my name from Slappy White to Little Washu I also changed my name in SubSpace from Slappy White to Washu! I changed my name on 12-2-00, I know this because SubSpace will tell you how many hours you have logged as certain accounts. Since then I've played for 300+ hours as Washu, 303:45min to be exact. So about 100 hours a month ave. So over the years I estamate I put at least 3500hours in (3200 of those as Slappy White). Wow!
I helped beta test the game after I found a demo of it on a CD from a PC Gaming magazine. I found out this game I was testing was never going to be released. The "beta test" was basically a test of onlne gaming in general. The developers were new to programming for online purposes and they developed SubSpace as a tool. Using this fairly simple "tool" they would test out online gaming procedures and capabilities or whatnot. It was just a tool...
The time finally came when the Beta was over and they were going to shutdown SS. Well, we all fuckin FREAKED! NO FUCKING WAY! I mean my addiction was just starting to peak and being without this game would fucking KILL me! After MUCH protest from the SS Beta community they kept SS up and running until they figured out what they wanted to do, tell us to take a hike or keep it running. For awhile there was talk of a monthly fee which was something I wouldn't have liked but would have payed because the Beta lasted at least a year it seems and I played it ALOT - for free. Well they decided to release a box version. I found mine at Best Buy for $20. Because I was all over that shit!
Eventually Virgin stopped supporting SS. When that happened some of the players bought the rights to it and set up new player run servers and it's been that way ever since. All player run, all the time, all something something...
I wonder when it will end. I hope never. It's unique. I play just about everyday. Other games have come and gone and they've been fun but what game have you played consitently for the last 4 years, the only one I can name is SubSpace. All it is, is a fucking chat room with a means of backing up your shit. Or chatting and fucking around. You can jump in and play and leave whenever. Play a few minutes or waste an entire day on it. It's EVIL! It's my addiction! El Kabong can't believe I'm still playing it.
It is hard and there are ALOT ( Oh man and I do mean alot!) of trash-talkers (Which El Kabong loves btw...) but there are many many many cool people that I've known for so long. It's something I care about. Some little computer game. So when I can think of it, I promote it and try and get other people I know to play. But nobody ever does. I'll continue to try though. I should have made a sig in it's honor years ago. But now that I have it I won't have to bring it up randomly.
PLAY SUBSPACE!
Whoa! I got a little carried away... Yes, SubSpace is hard and I've never played Infantry (The game that the SS beta was created for in the first place...)
Think I like SubSpace much?
Mmmm SubSpace. I think I'll play now.</div>
