A friend introduced me to CC via "dude, look at this massive crab bomb!!!"
I think he stopped playing after my little laptop performed better than his desktop. (He went back to games that need a gpu.)

I've stuck to CC, and it's gone and usurped the rest of the games I play, except maybe the Touhou bullet hell games.
A little work on my own weapons, and I'm hooked on toying with it.

I have to thank PCGamer for that. If it weren't for CC being on it, I wouldn't know it even existed.

My boat.

Some guy on another forum I was looking at posted an adventure thread with CC, and I asked what the game's called.

well, i was playing a game called ragdoll fighters and when the creator of the game gave up because of cortex command! (he wanted ragdoll fighters to be the best ragdoll indie game) i decited to check it out, it was build 20. l8r i told him that it wa not a ragdoll game so he was happy and continued making rf and now its rf2, but i dont play it anymore cuz i got adicted to cc

So he gave up when the first contender showed up without even knowing what said contender actually worked like? Wow.

I found it on fun motion.com around build 20

The Picture Wars forums, it's nearly as big as dwarf fortress there.

Found it on fun motion too but back in B18

I saw a post on the toribash forums, I think it was by shook.

Great Games Experement, back when the site was popular. Build 21 just came out - I had joined GGE following some other indie developer buddies of mine. Since then, got a couple of my friends obsessed with CC too, bought 4 controllers and a t-shirt, always bring them all to parties.

Billy Joe Bob showed it to me

I was looking through moddb for random stuff and found a mod for cortex command. I had no idea what it was... so i looked it up.

I think it was build 10 that came out with the NAG anyway my friend was busy playing it from the NAG and yeah robots and skeletons impressed me pritty much.So I coppied it onto my flash drive and well...
THEN: after a while I went into its files out of curiosity and found that the maps were modable! I soon found out everything else was too so I started modding like mad (this all happend durring build 10) and now after about 4 years I have decided to retire m0dding (exept for the occational tweaks to keep things custom) and to turn to the forums.

I found it very coincidentally: A friend was borrowing a USB at school, he let someone else borrow it without my permission. I found some weird files on the USB, wiki-ed the name and found cortex command. By then I had deleted the file because I didn't know what they were for. Then I downloaded the demo. Forgot about it. Then bought it.
