LBG Eras

Much like the "LBG History" and "Origins" pages of yesteryear, this page will be an abridged summary of the many different eras that defined the LBG.

2010-2012: Origins Era

As the name implies, this was the founding era of the LBG, originating from an ordinary L4D2 Dark Carnival match. It would be a few years before text chat would evolve into voice chat, and then eventually evolve again into Skype and once more into Discord. In this era, collective hundreds of hours were sunk into L4D2 and TF2 and the like.

2012-2016: Growth Era

This era sparked new change for the LBG. Chewy stepped down from series regular to recurring guest star, while the remainder plus new recruit John kept things going through Beecher's college years. In addition to mainstays such as L4D2, this era also introduced other cultural mainstays such as CSGO.

2017-2019: Retirement Era

This era marks the lengthy retirement of Left 4 Dead 2. During this time, many new games were attempted such as PUBG, DBD, GTA, and Tabletop. However, only CSGO would really stand the test of time. During this era, a years-long Dungeons & Dragons campaign would begin.

2019-2020: Platinum Era

The Platinum Era, as it sounds, was a great era of gam. Left 4 Dead 2 was unretired in glorious fashion, while on top of that the group still regularly attempted other new games and rotated through them. Fall Guys, Among Us, Minecraft, Battlefront; no game was not an option. Dungeons & Dragons concluded its nearly 3 year long 90-session campaign magnificently. Large games of Minecraft and Among Us became commonplace. Even Chewy began making semi-regular appearances.

2020-present: Neobeecher Era

The Platinum Era ended abruptly in October 2020. As for the events of that month, I will not be writing about them (you couldn't pay me to). But in part because of the reduced roster size (and general busyness and obligations), gams now average one a week, but otherwise the status quo remains the same. CSGO and Fall Guys remain the mainstays that they always have been, and new games are regularly attempted, such as No Man's Sky, Sea of Thieves, Don't Starve Together, and even chess, each with varying degrees of success. The Neobeecher era continues to unfold before our very eyes, as we see what new gams are added to the table.
