what happened to the other 99 jonos?

Why do you like Starcraft so much?

It goes back to when I was a wee lad at the age of 4 watching my older brother play it on our old Windows 98. I don't really know why I grew to love it so much, maybe it had to do with the way it played, how it sounds, or the graphics at the time. It was just eye opening for me at that age and it's all I wanted to play and talk about because there was no other game we had that was like Starcraft. The cinematics would always freak me out as a kid and I would skip them because they felt so real for its time. Like this one for example.

My brother would let me play after he'd put in all the cheat codes for me because I didn't know how to type all that well or read lol. I would spend hours just toying around with the AI in custom matches, like having control of all 3 races at once or sending a bunch of Ghosts to drop nukes all across the map. Starcraft was the game that basically taught me how to use a mouse and keyboard at such a young age. I remember using computers at school in kindergarten through 2nd grade and kids would have trouble doing things while I had no trouble at all and the teachers were impressed by it. They'd ask me how I knew so much and I told them that I played this game called Starcraft and how I learned from it.

Starcraft was also the very first game I played online with other people and it blew my fucking 8 year old mind when I figured out how to play online multiplayer. It just made me love the game even more even though I would always get my ass kicked. That's why I stuck with the simple games like Cannon Defense, Cat and Mouse, Nuke the Whales, etc dumb stuff like that.

Hard to believe it'll be 20 years next year since Starcraft came out. Feels like yesterday when I would bug my brother to get on the computer to play it.

Good story. Closest I have (aside from Halo on the original xbox) is playing Battlefield 1942 and Wolfenstein: ET at some sports + video games summer camp. I loved and was mesmerized by it. Second week of the camp I was asked to change computers because the older kids accused me of cheating. Those were the days.

So do you still play? You must be quite good at this point.

I still play Brood War every now and then for old times sake. Still got our original case for the game too. I still hop on Starcraft 2 occasionally to play the coop missions.

I don't consider myself all that great at the game, especially now since I haven't played ranked in years because I'd get ladder anxiety and losing in Starcraft after a 40-50 minute match is just one of the most depressing feelings ever.

One of my favorite memories was in Brood War during a 5v3. It was me and 2 other guys vs 5 super difficult AIs and they had cheats to make them better. It lasted around 5 hours before we finally won and I had killed over 2000 units. It was probably the most fun and most intense match I have ever played in any game ever, even if it was versus AIs.

Can you ? /10 yourself please?

10/10 obviously.

What's it like knowing you had to cheat to beat me in blops?

I didn't cheat lol CoD is just too easy to play.

what happened to the other 99 jonos?

It was the default gamertag that Xbox Live game me and I've kept it ever since lol.

I can't see myself with another name.

why does everybody else get named like "gayassbitchassniggaasslilbitchmufuckinpineapple02 7"

1. They're probably black
2. They want to be funny
3. They want it make it hard for people to send them messages and friend requests.

At least that's what my thoughts are about that.

I meant the auto names
