Fired Upon:
OldGamerz: the next generation

Now OldGamerz is almost 10 years old. Coronavirus has arrived and there’s a resurgence in gaming with members in lockdown and isolation around the globe.

Old favourites such as COD have risen from the ashes with Nad2dare and Uncle Orbius reigniting the flame and others such as World of Tanks remain strong. The racers still remain too with the arcade and sim games still flying high. Other games such as CS:GO and World of Warships have their place as well. And a foray into Dungeons and Dragons shows new possibilities.

With this came a time for reflection and change. Fired Upon decided now was the time to step back and let others lead the charge. And so came the return of Shabbyj the Mellow and Madgeordie working with Expired One to head Back to the Future.......

Fired Upon:
10 years of OldGamerz

On 11 December 2020, OldGamerz reached the grand old age of 10. COVID-19 measures were still going strong around the world and many were still experiencing lockdowns. Gaming for many was an escape from other world worries and loss. Dungeons and Dragons joined the site for most of the year and for some it was an escape into another world.

New members joined, some stayed and some left. The heart and core of oldg remained strong. Shabby had moved on but Expired One and Madgeordie continued to lead the site.

New staff members such as Curried-Cat, PorkCrackling and Homer Ramone came along to help and support them and lasting friendships continued to be made. With the support of our members OldGamerz continued to stay strong in Covid times.

As cross platform capabilities expanded members took advantage of this for gaming nights where Xbox and PC gamers could start to play together more. Newer kids on the block like Sea of Thieves, Fall Guys and Dying Light joined old friends such as World of Tanks, Gears of War, Call of Duty and Forza. The oldg faithful remained strong.

2022: the post-Covid era

And so for many Covid measures have been relaxed and removed. People start returning to new routines but many old friends remain. Cross platform gaming nights remain with favourites such as Forza and Sea of Thieves being joined by new favourites like Valheim, Icarus and Back 4 Blood.

Sadly this is the year we said goodbye to Madgeordie - RIP old friend, oldg until the end. Expired One remains to lead our site and continue the oldg way.
