    Unrelated to the benchmark...

    I love StarCraft. I started playing it right from the beginning, most of my friends right now are from that era. I literally met people that have spread to almost every continent when I was in my early teens. We played at internet cafes and did not have access to the internet, that was priced differently...

    I miss those days so much.

    Everybody was from a different background back then, and nobody was anything other than a guy that plays StaCraft at the cybercafe... And now, we are in our 40's and I know Math teachers, history teachers, oil rig operators, software programmers, professional gamers, lawyers and more... hahah So crazy to think about it... and I know them, we talk, what a world.

      That's Red Alert 2 and Age of Empires 2 for me, and I really long for those times I could gather with friends in an internet cafe and be able to steal their hamburger in the real world when they made me mad in game.
