For ages I played StarCraft Brood War and StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty. I was awful and I just played for fun really. But one of my childhood friends had played at a high level during high school in Brood War and played semi-pro for Complexity in WoL. But in college I found myself with a lot of free time, a ridiculously good internet connection, and a decent computer for the first time in my life. And Wings of Liberty just came out. I went really hard. I started playing like 2-3 hours on the weekdays when my schedule allowed and 4-6 on the weekends. I wanted to get decent. I ended up making it into Platinum league. Nothing special but I was happy with my progress after about a year of play.
I was still playing with my buddy introduced me to TeamLiquid. I'd bug my buddy all the time for help and advice. Sometimes I'd spectate his matches and he flirted with Grand Master league a few times. But it was TL which really boosted my game. So I started reading a ton and playing as much as I could. I always had this nagging feeling that I wanted to prove to myself that all the hours I put in was worth it so I started looking at playing in a tournament. I eventually found a little tournament for Gold and Platinum players. It was really a way for me to get some practice partners but I took the tournament seriously anyways. I remember being nervous as ****. Leading up to the tourney I was playing but my nerves would make me do silly things. I couldn't help it. When I played, my palms sweat like crazy, my heart raced like I just sniffed an 8ball. I couldn't sit still so I was fidgeting and my leg was bouncing like crazy.
Game day rolled around and I remember how surprised I made it through the 32 man bracket fairly easily. Sure it helped someone didn't show up but I was so thrilled that my split drops and pressure plays that I had spent weeks practicing were paying off. Unfortunately, I didn't practice my macro games enough and that would lead me to my downfall. I was in the final four. That match I didn't drop well enough so I didn't do the damage I had practiced. So now I was in this awkward "what happens next" phase. I tried to turtle up against another turtle Terran. And it turns out that my nerves and lack of scouting would sink me. We got into a base race and I didn't scout well enough so when I hit his last base, I thought he turtled up real hard. I couldn't break his tank lines so I GG'd out....without realizing he only had like 2 tanks left. I was so bummed. A silly mistake cost me a 50 minute game and the chance to play in the finals.
Now looking back though? Placing third and winning money is an amazing feeling. StarCraft taught me goals can be accomplished if I work hard enough at it. It taught me that we're all ****ty at something when we first start and the only way to get up is to practice. I felt that it wasn't the amount of money that was important, but the fact that money was on the line and justified my time and effort. I think that was my favorite video game moment. Even though I really wanted to continue training (http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/313347-my-first-tournament), real life got in the way and I no longer had time in school at that point to continue playing "seriously". So I never did get to play in Playhems or an MLG. But I still have very fond memories.
So, I spent a good 15 minutes or so roughly brainstorming about my past 20 years or so of gaming experiences in my life and so many things flashed through my mind~This is absolutely a TLDR situation. The effort alone deserves some kind of prize! Just not mine OK?

1998 was a HUGE year for gaming for me. I got my first gaming console, the original Playstation, for Christmas when I was 12 (yes... I actually never owned my own gaming console until I was 12... even though I did have the PC). Many of you know that feeling of receiving a gaming console for Christmas as a child... it is an easily forgotten moment, but if you reflect on it... it was probably still one of the greatest joys you've ever felt in your life.

Confession of a PS fanboy of past:MoreI admit... I had the occasional affair with Zelda Ocarina of Time at K-Mart...Show Image(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a1/OcarinaOfTimeBattle.JPG)
I feel blessed to have been born early enough to have been around to experience these historical games in their prime. They filled my childhood with great memories of happiness and joy. The memories of sitting in my living room with my younger brother playing these action and RPG games, experiencing the story, the music, and atmosphere are truly unforgettable. Even all the trouble, fights, and ass-whoopings we got for playing too much are great memories for me. However, even with all these great childhood gaming experiences... I didn't have the most "MEMORABLE" video gaming experience until 2006... I believe for most people, their most memorable gaming experiences may be of the enjoyable kind... However, for me, it was of the unpleasant type.
Being the older sibling between me and my brother, I had much of the playtime on the gaming consoles, and my brother was usually left with less time playing, and was for the most part, a spectator. This wasn't really forced, and he was a willing spectator because of his young age and unwillingness to experience difficult challenges in some of the more intense and scary games like Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Parasite Eve, etc. However, his love for RPG games was unparalleled. Having grown up watching me play so many RPG titles from his toddler age to his early teens, he only chose to play RPG games when it was his turn to play. Because I was the one who spent majority of the time playing, it makes so much sense that he would cherish his playtime so much... the pains and woes of the younger sibling...
In retrospect... even if he didn't feel that way... I feel like...Show Image(https://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m50wg7WfOr1qkwym7.png)
Anyhow, after I graduated from high school in 2005 (YES I'M OLD. LEAVE ME ALONE), I moved away from home, and also left behind my gaming consoles and PC to my brother. I can only imagine the freedom he felt was similar to that of how I felt moving out of the house. LOL!Show Image(http://media1.giphy.com/media/m12GiqBQywgbS/giphy.gif)
Fast forward about nearly a year, and he has become an intense high school student in an IB program in a very competitive school where all his peers are at each other's throats for the highest scores...The majority of his classmates, with him included, had the highest GPA's and test scores in the state... freaking Asians, I tell you... Anyhow, I digress. It doesn't help that he had Hyperthyroidism at this time and was always anxious because of his fast heart rate and voracious metabolism. Being the super stressed out student that he was, his only release for stress and enjoyment was from the RPG games he played, and was still in the honeymoon stages with the Playstation 2, after I had given him 100% reign over it since I left. He was the king on his throne, and he was allowed to do whatever he willed...
Today, I choose to play Final Fantasy XII, and no one can stop me. Not even my older brother...Show Image(http://unaffiliatedcritic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/King-****face-the-First-Jack-Gleeson.jpg)
Come around March/April, Final Fantasy XII had just come out for the PS2, and it's the biggest RPG game of the year. You can bet your ass my brother was on that booty. He would constantly instant message me about the new things that were happening in the game, and how much he was in love with this new game with the new battle system. He was putting in mad hours into this game every weekend and whenever he found time to play after his studies. I could tell how much he was enjoying this game because of the intense storyline filled with political intrigue and MMO-esque battle system. I decided to tell my best friend, who had come to the same college as me, about the game because he also had a PS2. So he goes and buys it and starts playing... he's also addicted.
About 3 weeks go by and I'm going home (Tampa) for the weekend, and my best friend is giving me a ride home because I didn't have a car then and he also lives in Tampa. We get to my house, and my friend comes in to greet my parents and brother. Guess what happens... yeah... my brother and my friend are nerding out about FFXII.Show Image(http://img.pandawhale.com/86736-ogre-NEEERDS-gif-revenge-of-th-KSuQ.gif)
My friend throws in his memory card into slot 2 and loads up his game so he can show my brother where he's at, and they're all spazzing out in excitement... it was pretty cringeworthy even for a fellow nerd like me... Anyhow, they're playing my friend's loaded game for a good 30 minutes while oo-ing and ah-ing at every little thing before my friend has to leave to go home. So naturally, my friend saves his game real fast but then... IT HAPPENS... So, if any of you have played RPG games on the Playstation 1 or 2... when you save a game... you need this thing called a memory card... these memory cards go into these things called a memory slot... and when one saves their game onto their memory cards, the console by default will access the first memory slot to save to it. It will then ask the player if they want to ...( I SWEAR TO GOD, my hands are shaking right now as I type this... ).. . overwrite their previous save file with the current one, which a person will naturally press "YES". If you have played before, you know you just spam the crap out of "X" on your controller to get this tedious process over with as fast as possible... except... my friend's memory card was in slot 2... and my brother's memory card was in slot 1... so my friend overwrote his save file on my brother's save file...Show Image(https://media1.giphy.com/media/rod1LnilW2rDO/200_s.gif)
Murphy's law states that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong... and unfortunately, in this case, it was true because my brother only had one save file of the game on his memory card... his 70 something hour save file on a story driven RPG game where every character is fully customized with unique skill trees and item sets...Show Image(http://mrwgifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Bloody-Teary-Tom-Cruise-No-Reaction-GIf.gif)
There is this deafening silence for a good 10 seconds, followed by the frantic actions of my brother taking over the controller and rechecking the memory cards, restarting of game, booting up the save screen, booting up the memory card slot to check the saves... only to realize... it's actually gone. He tried to act cool about it. He was such a champ about it... but even he couldn't hide his sadness and hurt from the situation and eventually just got up and walked to his room... he didn't cry... but we could tell he wanted to... my friend's face on the other hand... you could see how sorry he was but was helpless to do anything... the whole situation was so wrong... so painful... because no one was really at fault, there was no ill-intent in the whole situation... so my brother couldn't get angry at him, and my friend was just so sorry...Show Image(http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view4/1940520/crying-asian-man-o.gif)
Eventually, my friend left... with his memory card, and I tried to get my brother's mind off the whole thing for the rest of the night, while trying to look up a different game for him... time went by, and my brother got over it, and he even attempted to play it again on two difference occasions. The second time he tried playing it, it was like half a year later and he played one sitting but stopped. The third time, he got about half way through, but then stopped again... a champion, I tell you.
What have I learned from this experience? Too much. Too much, I tell you. Ever since then, I've become a game save hoarder and a data/media hoarder. I. BACK. UP. EVERYTHING. Ever since that moment, I have gotten into a habit of saving and backing up every possible game save file, and I also back up too much media files on my PC also on multiple hard drives... because I fear that pain. The pain of losing the memories and joys. It has benefitted me~ I saved my PS3 game save files on a thumb drive (at least the ones that allow it), and my PS3 died on me twice, so it gave me relief... I saved my PS2 RPG games on multiple memory cards, and even found a way to save them on my PC... I even went and backed up my Playstation 1 RPG save files on my PC... how? It's complicated but I found a way... Most of the time, these actions are useless and wasted time... but if I remember back to that day... the pain... the indescribable heartbreak on my brother's face... I just do it... to be safe... to be able to sleep peacefully at night.
SORRY~ I DIDN'T PROOF READ :( HAD NO TIME!!!

The Diablo 1 part I found particularly nostalgic. Me and by brother would tie up the phone line with dial up for hours and argue so much over who's turn it was that my parents scheduled hour long sessions for each of us. Those were the days.
TIL that me and Vesper are about the same age.
Also this **** has gotten me to finally start writing up my story and feelings about racing a 'srs' online racing league that I joined and spent the best part of a year competing in...
I saw Prince of Persia! In colour! When I played PoP, it was just green screen. I'm old!!!
****ing hell VesperSAINT. Why'd you have to go and remind me of all those miserable moments when you watch people accidentally nuke their games.
Like the time my friend accidentally stole a knife in front one of the main story NPCs in Morrowind and forgot to save. So each time he reloaded from the built in check point, all we saw was the NPC charging him and killing him with one strike. He lost like 30 hours of gameplay and character building.
Or the time my friend forgot to save in Splinter Cell after playing for like 8 hours. He tried to hack a computer but it was a decoy and blew up.
BRO, I TOTALLY GET YOU. Having Asian parents, my brother and I always had assigned time slots, but I always ended up playing more because my bro would end up screwing up, and he'd let me take over. But yeah... I remember playing on Brood War on dial-up, and my mom would complain about the phone calls not coming in, so we'd end up only being able to play at night :P
Diablo 1 was such an atmospheric game... music of Tristram, the dungeon music, the monster sounds... even the obnoxious attack contact sound... screw it~ Youtubing Tristram Village song right now!!! LOL!!!

Quake. I used to be obsessed with that game...
But when it came to multiplayer~ Brood War and Counter-Strike was where it was at :P
I recently replayed Doom 1 and 2. Still great even to this day.

Quake 2 for me, but mp didn't get real for me until CS:S... played that on dialup b/c HELL YEAH BOIS and was awesome, could only play after 7 tho because thats when the internet was free
For me the 2 FPS games that really turned me on to the genre were Tom Clancys Ghost Recon Advanced war Fighter 2 and of course counter strike. My gaming today is more varied though I LOVE Sandbox games Elder Scrolls from Morrowind to Skyrim, Fallout, Grand theft Auto (just bought GTA V for PC ), Borderlands, Was really into WoW from Vanilla to Cataclysm and have been kind of feeling the urge to start playing again. I returned my Gigabyte G1 970 due to some problems and have about $400 in Newegg credit but I have been waiting for AMD to drop there new cards for what seems like forever now. I have all these new games and things I need to finish on my main PC so I'm tempted to just say screw it and get another 970 8( I have waited this long I must resist the urge. I just went over some of my favorites and these stories bring back so many memories lol Seeing 8-16bit games now makes me giggle as I remember thinking the SNES had the sickest graphics.

Thought at first RPG was my thing but after Golden Eye I knew I was a FPS junky. Liked Quake a lot, liked Unreal Tournament as well but they felt too random. After I got into counter-strike a lifelong borderline obsession with FPS has consumed me
Grew up on a farm so internet wasn't an option. So I took every chance to pack my stuff up and move to friends places and lan parties. Won my first offline tournament when I was like 13 and got my first sponsor at 17, but real life kicked in around when I finished school and the team split up due to.. real... life :,(
Where is the winner list?

I forgot about STALKER. I've heard you really need to mod it to make it less clunky though.
This thread is making me feel old and really young at the same time. I'm remembering all the stuff I played years ago. At the same time I'm reading about all these games I've never heard of that came out before I was born.
Awesome, we can comment on these great stories now! I am going to have to go back and read my favourites again. Good luck everyone!
Joey Quinn: Loved your story reminds me quite a bit of my early childhood, I also didn't get a console until quite a bit later and even when I did games were very limited/expensive (SEGA master system with alex the kid built in - damn that was a tough game :) ). So I also spent a lot of time persuading my parents to allow me to stay with friends so I could play games.
I really need to pick up the STALKER games and the mod and get one of those overhaul mods and immerse my self in those games...I forgot about STALKER. I've heard you really need to mod it to make it less clunky though.
It depends on the game. All 3 can be greatly improved with mods, but doesn't mean the vanilla games are bad (at least not 1 and 3). Skyrim is a great game but better with mods :)
Shadows of Chernobyl is pretty damn good stock, and I think it's still the best one in the series, even if it's lacking many of the newer features in the later games. The atmosphere and mood of this one is truly a classic.
Clear Sky was the true failure of the series. Not only was it insanely buggy, but the entire game was just disappointing in almost every regard compared to the previous game.
Call of Pripyat was great! It did have some bugs in it, but overall it was definitely a huge improvement over the second game, and had newer features than the first. I'd say it's almost tied with the first game.This thread is making me feel old and really young at the same time. I'm remembering all the stuff I played years ago.

Baby D, yo. You missed out :P The 90's and early 2000's were the golden times for games, IMO :P
But if I think about it, memories of gaming as a child and young adult life is always probably going to be the best.

ok how did I miss this game vesper. Ahhhh I've been holding off ordering a new graphics card after returning my 970 because I want the r9 380x or if its a rebadge then ill get the r9 390 but now I really want to pick this game up and have at it...

YOU TOTALLY SHOULD. The overhaul mods make the game absolutely beautiful. I really can't think of too many other games that can rival the atmosphere in this series.
This game with a VR headset would be pretty crazy... bloodsuckers and the end game monster would be terrifying with it on...
My only criticism of this game would be the RNG shooting mechanics but it's more than bearable. Kind of makes it realistic.
I've been actually meaning to pick up the games for a while, I was waiting for a sale discount, but it seems the games rarely, if ever get discounts. :(I really need to pick up the STALKER games and the mod and get one of those overhaul mods and immerse my self in those games...I forgot about STALKER.

Unreal Tournament was one that I played quite a bit of too! Except it wasn't as addicting as Counter-Strike. I think I preferred Quake Arena over it too. Whenever I think Unreal Tournament, I mainly think Unreal Engine and Deus Ex.
NICE, DOOD!!! Getting sponsored to play! You must have been really good!!! Do you play CS:GO? You should train me :P HUE. I'm the most undisciplined player. Hahaha ~

The game is rather old now, so don't expect some crazy shooter.

I tried so many times to get into Stalker but very could. The combination of no voice-over and almost zero tutorials just made it a confusing nightmare that didn't ever run great lol
The furthest I ever got was after the first mission, going to some bar and then having to get something from a marooned boat, only the thing I had to get was hella radiated and would just kill me before I could get it, or the other blokes guarding it would, I forget...

What really bugs me is that bandits just appear from nowhere. You clear an area, go around the block, and a minute later there's another dozen of them there.

The reason I liked Unreal Tournament so much was because I got a CD with a PC gamer magazine that had a bug, an unlimited trail version of the game that I managed to get into the schools computer network. So we used to play it at school computers. It was an endless struggle. They found out we played, they removed it, I got **** for it, I put it back, they caught me again and so on and so on.
Sadly I quit playing seriously after 1.6. When CS:GO came out I compared it way too closely to 1.6 and since its a totally different, not better or worse just different, game than 1.6 I hated it. It took over a year for me to even take a second look, got to first Eagle rank and now its mostly fighting games. Dont have a team, dont have time to play hours and hours so I right now its just casuals :)
Got some nice stuff tho, stattrack AK and M4-s with +2000 kills :)

So funny - where the Wish Granter is saying things like "Иди ко мне. Ты обретёшь то, что заслуживаешь" in that deep echoey voice. I work with a bunch of Ukrainians, and one of them is female with a high pitched voice. It was so funny hearing her repeat exactly what the Wish Granter said, except in her voice :))

Yeah that caught me out a few times too... idk I always wanted to like the STALKER games, and tried with a couple of them, but just non of them did anything for me...

I don't remember that part, but I haven't played the first game in 2 years or so, but I wouldn't be surprised. Glad to hear you finished the first one though. I'm going to assume you liked it enough to finish it though. The game is pretty long if you explore the area.
Thoseee 2 orange Buckling spring... The V2.. The bronin.. The end game caps for the space saving keyboard.. I cant handle the pressure! ahhh! :-*neither can I :eek: I challenge you to a Bro-down lol good luck Dustin(I hope you score one of the BS caps ) and everyone and Vesper you suck ( j/k) just messin with ya because your story is awesome and has cool images and stuff :p

I really did vesper for a rush job it was well written! I wish I hadn't decided to write mine on the phone on a bus lol but its ok it came out alright there was a bunch of stuff I forgot to add but I figured it wouldn't be fair to go back and add to it so I just left it how it was. I rather enjoyed quite a few of the stories people wrote! So regardless how it turns out it was fun and I love stuff like this. Thank you everybody for the peek behind the curtains of your lives it really brought back some memories for me and even elicited a few chuckles ! <3That is one of the few titles I might actually buy at release date.

Teehee~~<333 I just hope you enjoyed it... it was so rushed on my end... I wish I had been able to provide you guys with a more refined story and conclusion... but then it would've ended up being even longer than it already is... LOL!
