While cleaning through stuff on my hard drive, I came across all the old photos from QGL's at Yeronga High School, so thought I'd upload them for all the oldschoolers to reminisce about, and for all the new gamers to see a bit about how QGL grew. You can see several months worth right here.

All the photos in the months are from the old hall (and pretty average quality, damn those new fangled digital camera things), and 2000 finals is the first event we held at ANZ, which doubled our numbers. This was a huge jump for QGL, and we were only meant to be at ANZ for the finals, but we decided to stay there and it was a wise choice.

So there's a bit of a trip down memory lane, and a bit of history for y'all.

wickedness ~ !

ohh the old days used to rock so hard.

Pft, I wasnt even around till like, March 2003 :)
Lots of people playin Q3

I reckon those lans look better than current .. lets go back!

theres like 0 riced cases and one has water cooling i bet that was like OMG! back then it still is now lol

That hall is so not old school .. saint you should be ashamed of yourself.

Was this back when Hunter was cool?

You can several months worth right here.

Saint! you spelt yew wrong!

I'd love to see some real old school photo's though. These aren't all that old.

Good to see good old Frog though. He rocked so hard at Quake 1. Where are you now Frog? I think him and Jim put in 95% of their time dueling at those lans.

ET

zorro at a qgl? was that before he started throwing GGF lans just about every other week? :D

eep..reminds me.....ggf this weekend...hmm..ggf...ref some bball & make money....ggf....money....ggf..fudge it - I'll go next time...

were there any pics at the primary school hall ? id love to seem them indeed.

however its amusing such time has passed that now those pics are considered old school and they sure seem so.

it seems so small compared to now..

very amusing, i totally forgot who some of those people were.. denominator lol. tlg rat... classic.

Some of the old skoolers comming out of the wood works.

2000 aint oldskool!

I see my pc in the january photo though - i must have been outside...damn hot day if i remember correctly, and that other lan at strathpine or whatever was on the same day....

Wasnt wireplay invades brisbane in like 1998 though?

I can't even remember the last time i went to a qgl now...damn cs. actually i think it was that photo in 2000!

The january 2000 qgl was scary. So many shirtless people.

And i think rockape almost died, atleast he smelt that way. :P

In some countries, it's a delicacy

awesome, I only got to attend a few yeronga lans, but still a goodtime nevertheless

also love the hair ineffable!!

wish there were some demo's floating around of the quake teamdm finals from 99

I think one of the fondest memories was when we tried to fit something like 50ppl in a RA2 map suited for only 6-8 ppl. :) would have been in 98 or early 99 if my memory hasn't failed me yet.

Whoever is in the first 2 pics of January is a f***ing CAINER!

after looking at all these pix (and listening to the enchanting stories about the heat and boys with their shirts off) i still cant understand y more women dont attend lans

That isn't rockape dude

yer it aint rockape, but it's someone just as dirty ;D

my bad.

he is the scariest person I saw on there...

Ah... good old poncho of j0r...

http://www.qgl.org/lan/photos/viewphoto.qgl?img=/2000/July/max_jor2.jpg

Wow that is a realy scary photo of me I rember those old days. If lans when't back to where you go home and have a sleep and not even wory about someone stealing your computer it would rock.

I do that anyway, because I know noone would dare touch my s***

what in f***s name, mantra's hair isn't grey?@#$~

brings back many memories....
ALL good...
not like Lans today tho..
they seem to have lost something...

Lans were for friends..NEW and OLD
Lans were for fun
Lans where every1 helped...and insurance and lanners attitudes didn't make Lans vertually a BUSINESS.

*sigh*

The GOOD old days

Omg... its... ZORRRRRO... EEEEEK RUN FOR THE HILLS.. Hide your apes!!@#
