    [!] Who Remembers Genesis Device??

    Back in the hay-day of Instincts: Evolution & Predator, we had a site called Genesis Device that was nothing but custom maps! New maps, tutorials, screenshots, videos, and of course user-run Contests! So many contests; the site had it all! It even had a rotation of clips on the main page somehow! I think Fallen Champ was a biggie back then, may be the only other person who remembers it . And Stubborn Puppet, gogogadgetboots, Skatesmart.. met so many wonderful people playing FCI: Evo
    And it was all on the big Xbox with the green pre-LIVE menus.. I still have all the maps I had downloaded on that thing- Obstacle Course, the stupid Slide maps, Cops & Robbers, and of course, Steal the Sample!

    haha wow! FallenChamp - 24 hrs of farcry 8/28/06

    So long ago I don't think many will remember now.

    I was very late with Genesis Device and was one of the last if not the last Moderator over there, I jumped from Instincts to Predator where most of the GD Crew stuck with Evolution until those servers stopped then they moved over to Pred on 360.

    The names I remember from GD are

    Maxprey and Sugarm0mma
    Stubborn Puppet
    T0astman
    Claybacca
    JetBlack Bebop
    Anemeros
    C0rnd0gg
    Masterch1ef
    Sippy Cup
    Surfdog Jr
    Pinoy

    Long time ago now, I have Stubbs on my PSN Friends List but have not spoke in a long time, not sure if he is still on PS3 or PS4.

    Had a lot of fun talking to Clay and Sugar they were all a nice bunch of people that made wicked maps.

    Ah yes. Genesis Device. I was all over that site for awhile until I took over moderating FCMaps. Still have most of those guys on my friends list. Though I tend to interact with them more on facebook.

    I'm super late to this thread but wanted to reminisce on this a bit. I wasn't super active on their forums but I did participate in a couple of their map contests. Won one of them too; can't remember the name of the map, but I do remember the theme was supposed to be Urban. I think either puppet or claybacca was the judge on that one. I have to say if it wasn't for them my maps wouldn't be what they are today. I learned a lot from the forum and playing on their maps. Really taught me about gameplay, level flow and how to keep a super tight design.

    Genesis Device was truly awesome. I spent a lot of time during evolution on 360 period on their site and fcmaps.net.

    Good ol' days
