>>719972617here's the actual autorun historically accurate
>>719972461School was just as bad if not worse. You were constantly being bullied and gangstalked by midwit students with no inner monologue for not conforming to their fake-ass social totem pole.
>>719972187uhh playing warcraft 3 i guess?
Playing and replaying Silent Hill 2, FFX, Half-Life (on PS2), maybe Max Payne...
>>719972187Lets see. I would have been in middle school around that time. My father had played warcraft 1 and 2. When I was much younger I recall trying to play warcraft 1.I think my brother and I had a computer we shared, and I think I remember watching him play part of the arthas campaign for a few missions before it was my turn. We played a bunch of tower defense, sheep tag, and other custom maps when I was in highschool. I was more of an A+Move player for the regular multiplayer with maybe a few control groups, and hated all this gay hero micro. I preferred brood war for the RTS part. A few years later we did some LAN between my dads PC and ours.Orcs or undead were my favorite race. I think I was also playing Natural Selection around this time.In 2003 we got freelancer and splinter cell. In 2005 we got guild wars. It was a great time for gaming.

>>719973090Actually not at all, school was mostly okay, once or twice some kid tried to bully me but quickly realized there was nothing there to really rouse or humiliate. Had I been born 20 years before then yes definitely what you said.
Playing a lot of Counterstrike
Playing better games.

>>719972187traveling with my highschool band for competitions, we were the #1 marching band in the region
not playing WC3, but doing so now after 20 or so years
>>719972187Graduating.
>>719972187watching and playing shitty flash movie/games from albinoblacksheep
>>719972187Playing War Craft 3. Online custom games are what introduced me to the tower defense genre.I thought it was such a unique and interesting concept at the time.
Playing red alert 2 and melee mostly. My friend showing me wc3 and zsnes was such a huge shift in my middle school days.
>>719972617For once, a frognigger is correct. OP probably wasn't alive in 2002.
>>719972187playing starcraft
>>719972187Still being at school and having a PC with Windows 98, a Pentium II processor and with Turok 2.
>>719972187Talking to my parents that I still should have some money from my Communion, and I want to spend it on this game.
>>719972187playing it, mostly custom games
>>719972187I watched my friend play it for 5 minutes, told him it looked boring, and then made him join the rest of us into larping as a bunch of megamans or alphamons by shoving our arm into pipes and also making up fake rules for yu gi oh
>>719972187Playing Warcraft 3.
>>719972187Playing Gothic 2.
>>719972187Probably playing The Specialists and Diablo 2.
Man, back then even installing was an experience
>>719972187Playing WarCraft 3I was 16
>>719972187playing green td and tower wars and these games where you have to hold 3 lines with champs from endless wavesand then I watched how they changed how tomes work (instead of item stack its an object in the world now) and how that broke 99% of all custom maps and modes
>>719972187UM ACTUALLY it's WarCraft III, not WarCraft 3. Anyways, I was probably playing it.
>>719972187Played FIFA 2000 a lot
I think Hastings had some kind of release event for it, so I was there.
>>719972187afaik, I was playing Morrowind. I've got a pirate copy of WC3 from my local game dealer only after playing it in a computer club and being impressed with first missions in human campaign.
>>719972187playing nfs hot pursuit 2
>>719975507
>>719972187I miss the days of wintermaul. I try to play dota2 arcade but it is not the same.
>>719972187Sucking from my mom's titties presumably.
>>719972187Playing WC3 or some half-life mod
>>719972187Road my bike to my friend's house and he gave me a burned CD with the game on it, which he'd downloaded with his fancy broadband internet. Sometimes I still ride past there and think about times gone by.
>>719972187I was 8 and playing pokemon. I got into WC3 in around 2007
>>719976732>at a family reunion>one of my great aunts goes "anon your beard has grey hairs in it!">my cousin goes "yeah he was born in the 1900s"
>>719972187Having sex.
>>719972187same as now: playing brood war instead
>>719972187I was probably playing diablo 2
>>719972187Playing Neopets
>>719972187Playing the demo and thinking the story was retarded as fuck. Then playing the full game and thinking the story was retarded as fuck and that it wasn't fun.
>>719972187>2002I was playing PC games on shitty Windows ME.Had 128Mb or 256Mb RAM, later upgraded to whopping 512Mb.
>>719975507I always thought I was much younger..
One of my biggest gaming regrets was not getting WC3 when I was young. Idk why I was so scared of buying PC games as a kid.
>>719972187Had a birthday and got gifted some pirated early release (beta?) a couple of days before the release date by a friend. Got C&C Renegade too but my videocard wasn't beefy enough for it.
>>719972187I unironically played this more than socialized. I was 7. Finished the campaigns, found out that undead banshees could possess workers of other races, then you could build their units. Basically would play out stories and headcanons in skirmish matches. We had dial up so online was out of the question, never got to socialize online due to my parents being pennypinchers. But this game was fuckin fantastic. One of the last bastions of "toxic masculinity" also known as Western culture so flanderized it becomes both nerdy and cool, no girls allowed. Arthas and Illidan were straight fire to a retarded kid and what Blizzard has done to the IP is deserving of having a pear of anguish expanded in each major hole, urethra first.
>>719979392>he wasn't sailing the high seas
playing ps2 games, diablo 2, sims, rollercoaster tycoon
>>719972187>skellies only lasted for a little while or could be AE dispelled to give enemy heroes instant xp packetsI remember thinking that scourge did not feel at all like a swarmy race despite being advertised that way
>>719979758OG wc3 was literally all about the bnet experience
>>719972187Playing ONLY custom games on Starcraft Brood War, obviously.
>>719972187Gestating
>>719972187Going to school and being envious of the guys whose computers wcould run it.Good times despite the fact that i grew up as a poorfag
shitting my diapers cause I was 1
>>719979758It was more for the custom games online.
>>719972187I remember buying it from Blockbuster alongside Alien Versus Predator 2. I was like 12 and didn't even know if my computer could run them. It was a Pentium 3 Compaq Presario. AVP2 lagged so much I'd get killed before I spawned on my screen in MP. Good times
I wish I at least played the demo back then. It was a big game back then so I wanted in
>>719974206never too late to enjoy a fun game, anon.hope you have a blast with it.
My first experience with WOW was the Litch King trailer on YouTube, and then getting the Mr T Nighthawk Mohawk grenade ads on TV.
>>719972187Playing Dune 2 on my Mega Drive.
>>719973438Reader rabbit and cluefinders were my shit
>>719979952I can't recall how long it too em after release, but there were pretty popular private servers.
>>719977280oh my god lmao
>>719974206Is it still possible to find the old version?
>>719983336Of course. There have been portable installations of it floating around the internet for over 20 years.
>>719973090And now all of those retards colonized dungeons and dragons and gaming and pretend like they were into it the whole time
>>719972187Playing WarCraft 3. That fucking Night elf campaign music is burned into my memory.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6_d1fhEXTY
>>719972187>Windows NT is not supported. And then you complain about W3 Reforged, that works under NT architecture?
>>719972187that's a big ass cursor
shitting my diapers or sucking on me moms tit, not much else I could do
>>719972187I was in my fathers balls, I was born a year later
>>719972187playing brood war and diablo 2. I had the warcraft 3 online demo and played that a bit but i didnt actually buy the game until much later.Its actually crazy to me to think that it released 5 years before i graduated and it has been more than 20 years since then. A lot happened between 2002 and 2007 for me.
>>719972187in highschool failing math.
>>719972617>frutiger aeroit was called aero you dumb frog; frutiger aero is a new term to refer to the "aesthetic" of flying fish, water drops and semi transparent blobs
>>719979392if you didn't have a dude selling pirated cds for less than a dollar you didn't beat the game
probably shitting in my diapers since I was 1 year old
>>719972187Watching my cousin play it on a computer than getting upset when I couldn’t play because I was a retarded toddler
Playing pirated THPS4s Trick Attack on the PsOne w my bros
>>71997218790% of /v/ wasnt born yet
>>719972187idk i was 5 years old. probably watched my brother play it while eating my baby spaghetti food or some shit
>>719975507my fucking god why are you still here where is your family you absolute loser
>>719972187hmm i was 10 at the timei think i was playing either FFX or GTA 3 at the time
>>719972187Playing Speedy Eggbert and saving for my own computer.
>>719972187Hating on it because it was an RTT as opposed to an RTS.Don't give a fuck about faggy hero units. No surprise that it led to MOBAsI stuck to WC2
I was at the midnight release getting the game.
>>719972187playing ps1 games kek
>>719972187playing WarCraft 3 all day every day
My dad bought me the collection with all the games together I didn't care for it and decided to play them in like 2008 and it was really good.
>>719973090But people were less suicidal back when bullying was popular
Playing it among a host of other games, banging my girlfriend, graduating high school, and heading off to university, working part time for a major MMO.
>>719985650Wrong you just never heard of it cause the Internet was less pervasive
>>719980857>Buying PC games>Blockbuster I can remember Blockbuster selling console titles after they were out of the rotation for rental, but never PC.
>>719972187your mom
>>719972187probably picking between those 1024x768 wallpapers
>>719972187I remember I was really pissed when they switched from bik to divx for the cinematics when TFT released. The compression was fucking awful, just to get the addon on a single CD.
Sure glad i'm long out of my teens and kicked nearly everyone out out my life to enjoy some more vidya undisturbed.
>>719973438Same, generally.
>>719972187Playing far better games.
>>719972187Trying to play it, but it kept randomly freezing on load screens. Maybe my PC was just shit.Recently found a copy of it with the expansion included on a flea market. It installed and played just fine on Windows 10.
>>719976656Based.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD500F1A9DB642608&si=MgKKM7Xldw6LtTFm

>>719986368Such as?
>>719972187Playing runescape
>>719972187playing superior gameStarCraft
I wasn't born
>>719973680>posted the kid, to the 22 year old website
>>719972187I waited for Frozen Throne and its custom maps
>>719972187I was playing mostly counterstrike at that point, but I did play dota as well.
>>719985356Believe it or not, your kids do not always require your attentionOr are you implying once you've have kids, you have to leave 4chan
>>719985731Has basically everyone throughout Earth's history who wasn't rich hated existence and God because everything everywhere to ever exist sucks so much ass?
everyone born under 1997 should get the fuck off the site and get to their family. i have zero interest in the opinions of complete losers at life that dont have any achievements at 30+
>>719973090While it was possible for some I'm sure, but the bullying , especially as depicted on TV shows and the like, was not massively common in that era. People would do stupid teenage shit like calling the other ones names or otherwise being a jerk, but you didn't have to live in fear of being shoved in a locker as though it was a "normal" occurrence that teachers just let happen; that was 80s/90s TV shit. Maybe it happened in some really shitty areas or other parts of the country, but where I was there was nothing close to it- a very occasional fight would break out but that was mostly over stupid interpersonal shit, not simply because someone was a nerd. There was a good amount of mixing between social groups and even if you weren't interested, you could hang out with whatever social groups you wished and people did their own thing >>719985650>>719985731The bigger issue and what I really lament for the zoomers is that, even though some of the geeky tech inclined among us (and lets face it, wealthiest. If you had your own gaming grade computer around Y2K you were probably at least upper-middle class ) had the Internet and even mobile phones (this was less likely than a PC or the Internet given how expensive they were plus teachers literally thought you were a drug dealer if you had a phone or pager, so you had to hide it all the time) it was a separate place you went. There was no "social media'. You got to make your mistakes and stay stupid cringe shit and the only people who would see it would be those who were there at the time, and then they'd forget unless you did something really horrendous. It wouldn't be video and shared ad nauseam, nobody would see you doing something edgy or dumb and try to get you canceled or lose your scholarship. Nobody was dealing with any of the post-social media problems and that was what made things much better.
>>719986856Work on your bait.
>>719986841>Or are you implying once you've have kids, you have to leave 4chanim implying that you should leave, yes. you have way better things to be doing, even besides your kids.
>>719973438
>>719986928big words coming from a loser on 4chan
>>719986368You weren't even alive yet.
>>719972187Still playing SC, losing to ppl online because I liked building huge armies and then blobbing the enemy. And I played all sorts of strategy shit back then, so it wasn't like I didn't know what shit like good vs bad matchups were, I just liked smashing armies into armies.Then DoW hit in 2003 and kicked ass.Also, really enjoyed WC3. Too bad it lead to WoW existing....still.
I was playing N64 games, ddr, Xbox games ps2 games mainly like halo, GTA and smash games
>>719972187High schoolI dont remember where I bought the original WC3 from but I definitely remember buying Frozen Throne at Walmart in the.....summer I think?
>>719972187Playing Warcraft 3, what else would I have been doing? I'd even played the leaked beta or alpha or whatever it was
>>719987006im 23, man. i have plenty of time to fix my life. im spending my time in uni and shitposting on here on the little freetime i have. barely even any time to go out so me hanging on 4chan is excusable.
>>719986876My mother used it for yahoo and AOL chat when I was like 5 in 1998 and I'd use it rarely for YouTube later on in 02. We had the stuff but didn't care about it. Now it's everywhere and you have to have it because of these fucking new phones
Am I the only one that hated WCIII? It looked so cartoony compared to 2
Playing casual slop like Dynomite, Rebound and Super Collapse
>>719987384>shitposting on here on the little freetime i havelike everyone else? you realise you don't need an excuse to use the internet right?lmaosee you tomorrow (also in 10 years)
>>719974356Same. I was always a bit disappointed that the "chop chop" style games never made it over from WC2
>>719977280Kek gottem
Playing LoTR custom maps. Not the helms defence shit. Maps like Ring Wars and other similar custom maps in this genre
>>719979537I would play on dialup until my grandma wanted to make a phone call She would pick up the phone in the other room and I could hear the alien mothership sounds blaring out of the handheld phone

>>719982012White males irl>play White male paladinBlack male irl>anything elseKekHey wait, is this why concord had so many odd lookong characters? I remember the overwhelming majority of plder games always focused on humans as the protagonistNow that DEI people are a large portion of game devs, I've noticed we have a lot more "alien" protagonists
>>719988000Maps where Legolas was represented as high elf Sylvanas model were peak
>>719972187Playing the fuck out of it. I got it at the midnight launch.
>>719983862>be me>start playing wc3 right before puberty>hit puberty while playing >realize that the elves are kinda hot>ffw 23 years>still sexually attracted to elf womenAnother thing I learned is that you could peak up the skirt on the human mage woman in the game editor. There was a slit there, and no it wasn't a geometry seam kek
>>719985356Well im currently taking a shit and shit posting, so no i dont need them in here with me right now
>>719988650you didn't need the editor, they go full spread eagle upon death, they just need to be facing the right angle. then you zoom in and rotate the camera
>>719986679Just realized I've been here for 15 years
>>719988296Unfortunately for your retarded theory the picrel generican bg3 tav was a fighter. Better luck next try
>>719987384Too old ngmi, im 18, so I really have time to fix my life. You dont, youre already almost 30 kek fucking loser you shouldn't still be in school now you boomer man child
>>719988929how do you expect me to become an MD at age 23?
>>719988929>the cucked inability to understand time of a retarded child Impressive
>>719988650>sexually attracted to normal human women but with long earswow very unique bro
>>719988851Sorry that youre a retard and you based everything solely off one picture. That Pic was to convey the visual characteristics of the most played character, here is the class. So like I said, White male paladin.
>>719988847Newfag
>>719972187It was the summer between 6th and 7th grade so I was probably at a soccer tournament or I was playing GTA: Vice City on my Playstation 2. I didn't get WC3 until late autumn of 2002.
>>719989082Skin color of those paladin toons? Lel logic and ability to interpret data are not your strong suits young troonlet don’t shit up the thread again
>>719988981You'll be replaced by ai while I comfy post using neetbux>>719989003Ngmi with ESL sentence structure like that
Playing neopets or runescape i think
>>719989167>he thinks neetbux will exist in the AI futurethey will always need doctors, anon. believing otherwise is a ridiculous cope. im also not in the muttmerican states of kikemerica as im in a country that cares about its workers
>>719989163I posted that in the first pic, White. The most common character is a White male, the most common class is a paladin. The most common origin character is a White male.Im sorry you lack the ability to think abstractly and can not understand secondary effects
my pc was too slow to play it :(
>>719972187Too busy being a fat weeb 12 year old to play western PC games.
>>719989302Kek like thats gonna matter. Im fucking with you btw>>719989087No
>>719989167Yes yes….consoom your neetbux and be a docile little sheep while i rule. You wouldn’t want to your comfy bux to be taken away because you got uppity would you?
>>719989409I dont need the neetbux, they are just a bonus. I get enough off of commissions that I could squeeze by
>>719973090You're poorly coping with being a stupid loser. Using stupid loser terminology like "midwit" doesn't help you get the perspective that you need - which is not that everyone else is the problem.
>>719989038I've never seen a purple skinned woman. Can you please point me toward that country?
>>719973090>t.
>>719972187pirating it
>>719989323Lemme break it down for ya since you are too retarded to follow your own “logic” you claimed anyone that plays anything other than a white male paladin was black male. But you posted evidence that the most rolled character was a white human male fighter. By your own claim all of those people must be black irl. You then posted an imagine showing paladin is the most played class but offered no evidence those paladins were played by white people. When exposed you shilled that because the white human male fighter was the most played those paladins must also be white but you already admitted any non paladin must be black. Ergo you are retard.
How did we miss the WC4 timeline?Where did we go wrong?
>>719972187>2002I was 1 year into my lifelong routine of fapping to Lulu from FFX which released in 2001.
>>719987460I loved going on AOL as an edgy 10 year old in the early 90s and for several years thereafter. All of those chat rooms, search engines etc were a completely different world. YouTube in the early 2000s was like a wacky, free, uncensored version of America's Funniest Home Videos >Hey here's my best friend john getting hit in the nuts by a football! >Check out this radical skateboarding/rollerblading move.... Oh no no no FACEPLANT >I'm going to voice dub over recordings of vidya characters while playing the game, which is how we got Red vs Blue and similar machininma etcThen there was the weird stuff, but it was so much less polished than today. And no, Tiktok is not like the good ol days of YouTube, its the complete opposite - trends upon trends upon trends, short form bullshit, and algorithmic chasing. Here's a classic from a little bit later, around 2005 I think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRgNOyCnbqg>>719988000These were great. The amount of detail in the Ring Wars (I think) Where each player got "book level" characters on different teams was amazing. I remember that Gondor was red and Rohan was blue, they had large armies and all the named characters you'd expect, Nature was yellow which had Tom Bombadil, Goldberry, Radagast, the Eagles, Treebeard etc , Galadrial and Celeborn were part of Lorien which had a fuckload of elves; I forget who had Mirkwood elves. etc. I remember Cirdan the Shipwright was teal not sure who else. Purple was the Fellowship no armies, but all hero characters! On the opposing side there was an Easterlings, Corsairs faction, Pink was Moria which was the Balrog, a bunch of Goblins, and Gollum, Saruman had his own faction with the Palantir and tons of orcs, Minas Morgul was the Nazgul + Witch King (Arthas DK model) and a bunch of troops, and Mordor itself was brown and had a ton of troops. All kinds of shit could happen depending on how you played!
>>719983462They're not pretending anything. You need to believe they are pretending to be something they aren't so that you can be better than them in your head. There's no class of people that are trying to be you or trying to belong to some culture that you have exclusive rights to by virtue of being a loser. They are playing those games because they are fun for them. The sooner you accept that you're not a special boy being drug down by dregs in society, the sooner you can become a man.
>>719976732This pretty much correlates with my feeling of everything happening after 2002 being in my "new stuff" mind category. Some thingsaround that time are fuzzy though. WC3 is still in my "old" category, while the GameCube still is "new" to me.
>>719972187Playing kiddy games with friends, chilling with family, watching TV and movies, if playing anything probably Harry Potter 1 for the PC, shovelware, and Flash/Shockwave stuff from Cartoon Network, Miniclip or elsewhere. Probably also phone games whenever someone let me.
>>719973090You know the old bullshit advice of "on your first day in prison pick a fight so people avoid fucking with you"? Yeah I did that on accident and was left alone through all of myself school days. Almost got expelled in first grade going full tard rage twice within a month
>>719972352fpbp
>>719989631Activision merged with Vivendi to get to Blizzard, and that was the beginning of the end.. Well, that and the closure of Blizzard North, but the had nothing to do with WarCraft.
>>719989631When Blizzard decided to make WoW. So before WC3 was even released.
>>719989615That sounds good, but none of that is true, nor is that anything remotely close to what I claimed. Ill try and break it down so you can understand. >make a joke about White people playing White characters. >make a joke that the African guy isnt playing an African character. >make a loose comparison to less human characters as protagonists as more DEI people enter the industry. Then I go on to post an image to demonstrate that the most common "character" is a White male. I said paladin while the article said something else. The reason I said paladin is because that is the most common class. Then I combined the visual character style with the most played class. I combined the most common gender (male) with the most common skin color (White) and added the most common class (paladin)I am making the argument that the most common character+class combo will he a White male paladin based on reasoning between the two data sets that i provided. Does that help you understand a bit better?
>>719989778>These were great. The amount of detail in the Ring Wars (I think) Where each player got "book level" characters on different teams was amazing.

On the opposing side there was an Easterlings, Corsairs faction, Pink was Moria which was the Balrog, a bunch of Goblins, and Gollum, Saruman had his own faction with the Palantir and tons of orcs, Minas Morgul was the Nazgul + Witch King (Arthas DK model) and a bunch of troops, and Mordor itself was brown and had a ton of troops. All kinds of shit could happen depending on how you played!Yeah, that's it. Southrons were grey, and Mirkwood was yellow with the ents.

>>719990198>WC3RIP. Not satisfied with just releasing forgettable pap, they reached out and ruined their old games, too.
>>719990227>noooo I was just making loose comparisons and may have fudged the data a bit you can’t take me literally or demand my statements make logical sense. Im still smart though.Woman moment. Furiously trying to retcon your retardation makes it no less retarded
>>719972187Playing warcraft 3
Besides Ring Wars, Wintermaul TD, and many others, one of the best WC3 (really FT,) custom map tower defenses was pic related, Skibi TD / Skibi's Castle TD It was an excellent co-op TD with little minigames between each round, different armies and more. Fun fact, both its developer and its artist (pic related) got hired by Blizz, which is why it became an "official" map version in later variants. Both of them, a couple (maybe married later?), working at Blizz had items named after them in WoW. I THINK that this may be one of the earliest versions of the staff she's holding here that was a WoW Priest/caster dungeon model, so this may be where they got the idea for its design! Also >Khoo's Pointthe Rogue dagger, was named after the artist who painted pic related . I forget the item named after the programmer of the map.
>>7199721872002? Still had a ps1 and a gbc. Home computer was a 95 machine, so the best I could play was shareware doom and other shareware games. Gbc I had Pokemon, Mario, wario, harvest moon. Ps1 I had Spyro, crash, sheep, and demo discs. May have sold them to make rent by that point, can't quite remember. My grandmother had a laptop capable of running SimCity 3, played that a lot. And whatever flash games I could get from albino black sheep or from searching dog pile.
>>719990445So a single sentence in a single joke isnt loose to you? I think the issue here is that you just didnt understand from the start, which you still dont. My claim has, and will be that the White male paladin is the most common character+class. I dont see how you fail to understand that, I don't think i can dumb that down any further. No data has been fudged you retard, I didnt provide anything to back up that claim, that we have less human characters as more dei people enter the workforce. Seeing that you can not into different levels of abstraction, I feel like you may be a dei individual

Probably playing Cossacks and commandos 2
>>719972187I was 4 so I probably played something on my Gameboy or GamCube
I believe at that point I had just discovered runescape and was going hard on that
>>719972187I was 13 working in a car shop as a mechanic in some hole in a wall place in Egypt .Started playing it around 2005 when I saw it on a monitor at a nearby internet cafe, rented a PC for 2 hrs and the owner made me my account and helped me get my bearings.Played on that same account till 2021 .Ngl I miss it but we're all old now with families and kids.I mostly play on my eck platformers or hades before bed or shit post here.

>>719993597Idk, I was taking a shit and didnt have anything better to do. I assumed that it would "click" for him at some point, but im not sure that it did. It may have, and maybe that is why he didnt respond, but ill never know
>>719973090having been bullied at school i can recognize that actually it was because i was a fucking retard with no social skillsnot that im any better now, but at least i can recognize that people bully fuckups because they are fuckups, not because they have no inner monologue

>>719972187I was looking forward to it since I played 1+2 on DOS and then I played itIt was a good time when gaming magazines went completely nuts and gave us tons of gameplay footage, mods, printed guides included with the magazine, that's enthusiasm

>>719994303Can be both, I was an accomplice to bullying of a few guys who were easy targets but as a whole not remotely as much of a social fuck-up as me. Honestly the only reasons I never got bullied were probably having a few good normalfaggy friends and just always having had some sort of zen aura that didn't make it worth it. In a way I was so far removed from social bullshit I actually thrived better than more social people.Either way fuckup or not don't rationalise cunt kids bullying you.

>>719995092i can, ruining everything they ever made is what companies that get big do
>>719986876> the bullying , especially as depicted on TV shows and the like, was not massively commonThe shit on TV was very obvious angry nerds lashing out what they wish they could have done to their bullies back at school. Bullies have always been about manipulating so the bullied is the one who gets in trouble trying to lash back. If the nerd throws the first punch it's ok to hit back after all you're just defending yourself.
>>719973090My bullying situation was pretty different but it was actually a valuable life lesson. Got bullied mercilessly in the taxi to and from school by a kid twice my size and no one would do anything about it; not the drivers, not the school, not even my parents. I learned you cannot and should not rely on authority to help you, you can only help yourself, which turned out is absolutely true.

>>719972187I remember when no matter whose apartment I went to someone was playing Starcraft
>>719972187Playing WarCraft 3I think its almost the first game i ever played out of my own volition alongside orange box
>>719972187I was playing it. I still remember the menu ambient sound of Reign of Chaos. Infernals falling down like comets from the sky, exploding off screen, shaking the land. The battlefield smoking and covered by fog. Blizzzard knew how to do things right those days. Not anymore.
annoyed 24/7 because some retard keeps putting up cheese pizza or zoo shit in limewire and naming the folder starcraft while i just want to downlod the actual gamewhoever that gold guy was i hope he killed himself

>>719972187I was in jail
>>719972187I was in a white trash/ghetto Middle school, the only nigger we had was a short kid and he got expelled for trying to stab another one in the head with a knife. Anyways I was all over return to castle wolfenstein and quake 3 instagib (with railgun shots being able to "rocket launch" you, bf1942 as well and i would brag that I was the best fuggin stuka and air fortress pilot. Halo as well since I got an xbox that year. I also played some counterstrike vs bots with my brother. I think i played warcraft 3 and the frozen throne for the first time together so maybe a year later. I'm pretty sure i built my own pc then. Aside from the shitty school I had a decent childhood compared to most people these days, though it would be called being a normal white christian family then. Anyways arthas did nothing wrong. He had more mercy for taking them out before it was too late. I would do the same. Jaina and the others are pathetic and the writing had some bullshit then.
>>719997715yeah no shit, and how many of those are variations of Wintermaul TD?again, I'd ask that anon what type of game they were having trouble remembering

>>719972187INSTALLING WARCRAFT 3.
Playing Warcraft 3 at a LAN party at Ballarat uni
Have they apologized for Reforged yet?
>>720000389 based take at the time, honestly. StarCraft had the tighter mechanics and better balance, especially for multiplayer. WarCraft 3 felt like a downgrade to anyone who didn't give a shit about heroes or RPG-lite mechanics. Still, I’ll admit the custom maps scene in WC3 carried it hard-none of that DOTA, Footies, or Azeroth Wars madness in StarCraft. But if you were a diehard ladder guy? Yeah, StarCraft was king.
>>719972187Kindergarten i think.
>>720001474>all of these shirtless dudes at a lan partykinda gay ngl
>>719972187At that point I had been taken out of high school for fighting and was being homeschooled so probably sitting in my room posting on GameFAQs forums (LUE, RP&FF, etc) and downloading shit off of Napster or KaZaa or whatever fileshare was relevant that year. I would have still had a TV and a PS2 at that time but I don't remember what I was playing in 2002. Probably RPGs (good ones, not western gritty mudhole bullshit)
>>719972187Smash Bros on emulator, other random emulated shit for good backlog catchup time (of games my parents couldn't get us when we were younger), some Ultima Online when my mom would give me the time, might've been Ragnarok Online too, can't remember if that was a bit later.

The game fucking sucks. The only good thing about it was battlenet and some various other things like the UI. As an RTS it is very poor. I went back recently and played many of the RTS games I was playing before WC3 and WC3 is literally less than half as good as any of them. They never dealt very well with all the maphackers either. All around deadweight on RTS in general.
>>719998109Yup pretty much. There's a lot that younger people aren't told but should be, if kindness and intelligence are instilled while having some prep time to know that the world is against you, they'd do a little better, I think.

Rebecca, Emma, Leanne and Hayley. They used to sit behind me and kick my chair or throw paper at me. Call my names and say I have a small dick and other stuff. They used to push me as well. But they never did anything sexual to me. I kinda wish they did now.I hated it at the time. But I ended up getting a femdom fetish and it must have been them that gave it to me.

>>719996668Violence was genuinely that bad in the boomer generation apparently. Kids used to have actual wars where kids got crippled. But if you weren't a part of it, you typically got left alone. People underestimate how much TVs pacified people and made kids do other things. They used to be out smashing letterboxes and committing petty crimes. What's worse these days for kids is that smartphones give a bit of permanency to victimization. A kid in the 1960s could've been bullied severely, but as an adult that became forgotten rumors. Now kids have their victimization put on camera and shared online. I think a large part of zoomer introversion is due to the threat of that.

>>720012197It's even worse, american schools in the movies don't show you how many criminally inclined black and hispanic kids are in these school. I didn't even go to a "bad" school or live in a poor area, I grew up middle class. These kids were just bussed in. The only good thing I can say about school back then is that wiggers were treated like mentally ill retarded people instead of cool and that the world hadn't really been negrified yet.
>>719972187I was still a goalkeeper in soccer, hadn't realized my true calling was to play left mid and not touch the ball all game but get lots of cardio instead.Gaming wise, I would have had an Xbox, GBA, and Gamecube, plus the family PC and some older consoles(SNES and N64).I think the games I was into then were Amped and Project Gotham Racing for Xbox, Super Smash Bros Melee for GameCube, and definitely Pokemon Sapphire. I was also definitely active on Neopets, and played quite a bit of Age of Empires 1 and Tiberian Sun on the PC.

>>719986876Columbine was actually the catalyst for a lot of the change regarding bullying, it changed the school landscape from tormenting that weird kid into making him an absolute social pariah in fear of him shooting up the place. In some ways it was actually worse though because unlike before where you could interact with people at least sometimes, now it became a matter of everyone treating you with caution and never saying anything to upset you so nothing felt genuine.I used to hang out with a few other losers in school and almost everyone avoided us. By high school though I was mostly fine with it, we stuck together and played video games and MTG while despising everyone else.

>>719972187>2002In my town, everyone was still playing UT99, Total Annihilation and Age of Empires 1/2. A couple of years later everyone switched to Blackhawk Down and C&C Generals for a few years until MMOs and Fallout 3 started taking up everyone's time.
>>719973090>You were constantly being bullied and gangstalked by midwit students with no inner monologue for not conforming to their fake-ass social totem pole.This is always how all of society worked, its not just a high school thing. Only difference is when you're an adult you can just avoid nutsacks like that and online social groups makes it easier to find like-minded people.
>>720019175Eve Online player here. We get this shit in Rookie Help Chat every day now. Faggot zoomers that unironically say the weird buzzwords you guys made up and saying "this game came out before I was born? cuhrayyyzeee..."
>starcraft battle chest>diablo 2 battle chest>warcraft 3 battle chestI want to go back oh wait I can do it whenever I want>starcraft 2 battle chestthis game was a mistake but having starcraft 1 on the usb was cool
>>720002320>The game fucking sucks.>As an RTS it is very poor.Been saying this since it came out and everyone looks at me like I have 2 heads. Its a fantastic multiplayer custom lobby simulator. Fucking terrible RTS game though.
i was busy being -4 years old
>>719972187i was born in 2007 so idknothing i guess
>>719972187I was in 10th grade, and one of my SC buddies from a nearby university said they downloaded WC3, so I went there, burned a CD-R, and then went straight to my regular computer club, where my other neighbor buddy worked as an administrator. We installed the game on all 12 PCs and played for hours—good times. (pic unrelated)
>>719973090bullying hadn't been created by the media yet so no
>>719973086I feel like modern gaming is so shit and the reason why is that theres always a forced grind with collection, currency and in game meta progression systems. I mean you want to play SM2 well you better grind your character on end to get all your weapons leveled up and all your prestige levels too and thats just for one character. It seems almost every game is like this now.WC3 is like you hop into game, levels carry over mission to mission along with items. Play online jump into any custom game you want. The fun itself justifies any progression system while online games today its the progression system driving the fucking game as a hook to keep you addicted rather than good gameplay
>>719972187That was my first year of school. I was still a few years away from playing my first point and click and flash games.
>>719972187I don't know, playing Age of Empires 2 or GTA 2 or something
>>719972187Probably an apple or some kinda food before being turned into sperm.
>>719988929You're a loser now and will be even a bigger loser at 40
>>719972187Playing Quake 1 or 2 probably on my first PC. Strangely enough I never really got to play Warcraft 3 despite it being really popular where I'm from. I did play quite a bit of Diablo 2 however.
>>719972187NOT using Windows 7, I can tell you that much.I was still on Windows 2000, it was in december of 02 when switched to XP, after upgrading my PC.

>>720002459I don't remember my old 2004 PC getting ANYWHERE NEAR as hot as my PC now
>>719973872Based. nu-runescape is shit.
Sophomore year of high school, those were the daysI was just stupid enough to think I would be able to avoid the grind after high school, among several other things I wish I could slap myself forIn the meantime I straight up ignored Warcraft 3 because I thought the hero units you needed to level up were a dumb idea that wasn't going to go anywhere (I was half right, DotA didn't come along for a while)I made some friends and played Halo and MechAssault at school
>>720002459>>720025104CRTs got fucking hot as well
>>719972187Playing it, we went to Fry's to buy it the day it was released
>>719973090Same. I was expelled from school just a few months before WC3 came out, for defending myself against a bully.
>>719977280I haven't seen extended family in several years, but in that timeframe I've gone from Norwood 1.5 to Norwood 3. I know I'm going to get shit for it.
>>719972187>july 2002Being completely fucking oblivious to how good things were. To think I used to be depressed and suicidal back then, holy shit. As for vidya, probably some shit on Gamecube.
>>719972187isn't the answer to this question obviously playing wc3? idgi really
>>720025104Liquid coolers weren't a thing back then, they are now and thermal paste has better formulations, so your cooling options are better, but the CPU runs a lot hotter as well, they've started overclocking those out of the box. Software efficiency could also be better, in the gaming sphere, programming competence is dropping like a rock because their biggest concern is getting tasks to complete within an acceptable threshold rather than optimisng to the Nth degree.
funny how quick wow came out after wc3. in my memories it feels like such a large gap. but it was like 1-2 years. I even remember there being an early wow cinematic on the TFT cd that got me so hyped for what could an mmo be.
I was replaying Max Payne 1, MDK, and some other stuff on the Windows PC I had. In fact I was replaying just FFVII and Castlevania: SOTN because those were the only games I had at the time. PC was just too expensive to get into at the time for me. I wanted (because it was only worth it then) was an Apple G3 or G4 tower to do Final Cut Pro video editing for school.
>>719972187I was playing Mario Sunshine and Jedi Outcast
>>719972187I was 9 years old, probably on Tennis training, and was just about to be introduced to porn and RuneScape by a Tennis classmate.
>>719973090only one kid bullied me and I usually got him back because he wasn't any weaker than me. If anything I had to deal with cunt teachers.In high school I was chill with virtually all the cliques.
>>720027393>the WoW trailer saying 10 YEARS OF WARCRAFTTo think, whole ten years had passed since Warcraft 1
>>720027393The whole founding of Orgrimmar campaign was basically an RPG just with the top-down perspective of a RTS. World of Warcraft picks up where that leaves off (horde side).
>>720030436The Rexxar stuff? Yeah, I remember than being fun, but it wasn't finished when I tried it.
>>719994303I realized that too. I was super sheltered as a kid. Only middle school was bad for me though. Still, I don't want anything to do with those people. Like the old bully who met me as an adult and acted like we were old buddies. I didn't go to the reunion, and refused any friend invitations when facebook was a thing.

>>719997152Wintermaul Wars was my main, though I didn't play nearly as much WC3 as BW
>>719997152No DOTA-likes? I remember Tides of Blood being my fave in the earlier days of those maps on WC3
>>719972187playing the Mafia 1 demo
>>719972187playing warcraft 3
what are some hidden gem maps?>>720031057>Tides of Bloodsame
Did anyone ever find a way backport the upgrades the BNet updates added to W3, back to pre-BNet client?
>>719972187working with my dad in a car repair shophated every minute of itfuck cars
I wonder how good WoW was when it first released
>>719972187Getting caught looking at porn on the family pc because I made it through like 30 other pop up porn ads, but one of the last few ads wouldn't close and I the internet locked up so my grandma came back in the house and saw it.Had no computer games outside of windows games.
>>719988929i'd be careful if i were you. felt like just yesterday when i was 18 as well, shitposting on /v/ with a sparkle in my eyes, thinking i have all the time in the world to fix myself. but then I blinked and guess what? now I'm a loser alcoholic deadbeat with no job or future. it might be lolzy to troll oldfags epic style, but you're gonna feel like a tard when in a short few years, you'll be in the exact same shoes.
>>719972187Went to high school. Played a lot of Neverwinter Nights, Morrowind, and Battlefield 1942
>>719996993>most people think you're a caveman lol
>>719972187>Windows NT is not supportedWhat? Why?
>>720030872truth is that neither you nor i ever mattered enough to them that they would remember you or i, they were just acting out their nature, they should matter as much to you now as you did to them back then, that is to say, zilch, zero, nada
>>719997152i miss canned bread man
Playing Mafia 1
>>720033314Noob Technology
>>719972187>what were you doing when WarCraft 3 was released back in 2002?reading video game magazines.
>>719972187reading the manual in the back of my dads car on the way home, he was a BIG warcraft fan, as was I, but he died a year later from cancer, so we never really got to play much of it together. >>720032514dude, it was the SICKEST thing ever.me and my mates had played runescape, and maplestory, so we knew what an MMO was, but wow was a whole step up.we would talk about nothing at school but cool shit in wow, the different areas were were levelling up in, what dungeons we discovered the entrances to from quests, what cool thing we saw a high level player doing.we would also get in arguments with the horde kid, who insisted that horde was the better side to play, while spending LITERALLY months in the barrens, while me and my mates got to see the best leveling zones, like westfall, darkshire, theramore, wetlands and the start of southshore, all in the same level gap.crafting gear for eachother, doing dungeons, hunting down secrets and rare drop quests, fuck it was good.and it'll never happen again.not knowing anything made the game so much cooler to explore and discover, and the game trusted us to work for answers.going back to it as it was now would probably suck, i already know all the story beats the game carefully leads you to discover, my mates would get frustrated by trying to find mankirks fucking wife, probably just google it instead
>>720034246GO TO THE BATHROOM
>>719972187Playing it. I liked making custom games.>still have 2 copies of the CDs and Frozen Throne because I use to play on a shitty laptop in a LAN with friends playing Naruto version of DOTA and Battle Royale.More games need to just give you the tools to make your own fun, something like RPG maker but in a less restrictive format.
>>719999275At least it's not dolphin porn
>>720032514>I wonder how good WoW was when it first released
I installed Reforged a few days ago (free on cuckpass) thinking that people were exaggerating and they were just whining because some korean fags didn't like MP balancing (as if I cared about MP in warcraft) but the game is actual, unoptimized shit that stutters every 3 secondsPic unrelated
>>719972187Playing warcraft 3.
I was 4 years old and trying to figure out how the very concept of video games worked on my mom's n64.
Started playing WC3 Tft during HS back in 2005.Followed the pro scene for a decade.The final version before Reforged was perfectt.39 year old wiz NEET.
WC3 was very bad when it launched. Remember this was 2002. 2001 was one of the best years in gaming history. I wasn't going to play some outdated looking strategy game in 2002 when I had things like Metal Gear Solid 2, Silent Hill 2, ICO, Jak & Daxter and Resident Evil Remake to play

Was playing Operation Flashpoint at the time. Groundbreaking military game.
>>720038194Elden Ring did it again for me minus the social part. But I was never social in games so cares.ER was peak gaming in 2022.I am not sure I will ever experience the magical feeling it gave ever again.
>>719989568This isn't accurate, at least two or three of those have no thought bubbles.
