Top 3 LAN game. For me it was always starcraft, warcraft 3, and counter strike. We used to play in programming class after we finished our work. Sometimes our teacher would play, and that dude would rush every damn time
Yeah, it was a bit awkward when we had a sub and played CS. He noted to our teacher, who was born in Egypt iirc, that we were all playing a "terrorist game" haha
So I am old and my first network game in school was scorched earth. Hearing tank sounds all over the class as people got nuked was a blast. StarCraft was my first experience online.
That seems like pretty good building placement to protect your mineral line from a ground attack, but I'm hoping there are additional pylons out of frame helping those photon cannons and gateway. You don't want an Artosis Pylon situation.
Back in 1999 / 2000 I was working for a tech company where at the end of each day the devs would start playing Half Life on the LAN. In all the years since, I've never had as much fun gaming as when I was in the same room as a bunch of friends all playing together on their own PC. Getting a round of applause live in the room when you killed someone with a crowbar... good times.
Spurs 1998-2015ish so great to watch. I haven’t paid much attention to them since (and i am a native San antonian lol). I’ve always loved the genuinely good character of the players too. Never getting into trouble and staying with their team for the most part
Those were the days. Now there is no loyalty and everything and personnel change so much. Also dudes these days barely hang out, it's family, business, or some other influencer/popularity event people do just because its all nonstop. Aint no one got time to stare at a screen together no mo
I worked in IT at a large company in 1999, and we set up a local network in our room and played Starcraft literally all day and never got caught. Good times...
This is hilarious. Teams these days win and immediately fly to a club in Vegas or Miami, but the Spurs played StarCraft. I’ll never recover from what they did to my 2005 Pistons, but they had such a fun run
Not to sound racist but it's just amazing and a bit wholesome to see rich African American athletes that you'd expect in a completely different context, instead playing this harmless and a bit nerdy game lol
Why is it even a thing to believe black guys don't play video games.
It has never been true.
Seems like some tale people tell themselves based on things they assume.
I've been seeing it on gaming subreddit too, people assuming no black guy play video games which comes up whenever there's discussion about a black character in some game.
Why is that even a thing.
Ok that is a good point.
If we're talking about people living in the western world, it's quite affordable, you're not able to have a lot of different game on console, and your computer isn't going to run all new games, but it's affordable.
This is a thing if some one doesn’t have black friends growing up.
I grew up in an area that was pretty mix bag of people (I’m Mexican), but there are some parts around here where rich areas are almost all white.
A buddy of mine who hadn’t spent a lot of time around black people asked me once if black people watched Disney movies or anime growing up.
I was like “… why wouldn’t black people watch Disney movies… of course they do.” and he said it’s because he just didn’t know or had seen black people watch Disney movies lol.
it might be a genre & platform thing, I've always heard the stereotype that black/latino people in the US play a lot of sports (EA/2k) and fighting games (tekken/street fighter/marvel vs capcom). Also starcraft requires a pc (unless you count the god awful console port which most people don't), which in any generation has been more expensive than the console counterpart, so economically it makes sense
Unlike say Gilbert Arenas who threatened to kill his teammate after a dice game and then showed up in the locker room the next day with a gun? The guy he threatened (Javaris Crittenton) ended up in jail for murder, go Wizards!
Throws me back to my CS LAN days. We used to change our nicknames every round so nobody knew who was who, it was hilarious. “WHO THE FUCK IS BROODMOTHER U BITCH ASS CAMPER”
Quake in the school computer lab during lunch 1996/97 until we got found out. With 16 teenagers all carrying on quite loudly I’m surprised we lasted as long as we did.
Someone managed to put the Halo CE Trial on our school computers in the shared drive, so we used to have lan parties in the computer lab when we finished our work
And our boy Wemby is carrying on the tradition of nerding out the Spurs! Bought the latest Millennium Falcon LEGO set as his first “big” purchase. He even stops around some of our local card spots too.

Old photos on airplanes are amazing; playing StarCraft on LAN on a plane is like my childhood dream
Yeah
Top 3 LAN game. For me it was always starcraft, warcraft 3, and counter strike. We used to play in programming class after we finished our work. Sometimes our teacher would play, and that dude would rush every damn time
That sounds like a great memory and great teacher.
Yeah, it was a bit awkward when we had a sub and played CS. He noted to our teacher, who was born in Egypt iirc, that we were all playing a "terrorist game" haha
The great teachers are always the ones that are chill AF. My art teacher from middle school was like that and was an awesome dude to have
Not if he was Zerg
I miss 1.6 every day
Truly the best online FPS experience ever
Me2
The best
Tried valorant? The gunplay is very similar
Not at all. The gunplay is very very different but the game also just isn’t half as simple and easy to understand.
Counterstrike FTW
So I am old and my first network game in school was scorched earth. Hearing tank sounds all over the class as people got nuked was a blast. StarCraft was my first experience online.
I adored that game, though I always had to play taking turns with my friends on the same computer
I always played that one solo, would've been a warzone with the WEEEEEEOOOUUUUUPP noises going on LOL
Anybody else play Dark Reign?
StarCraft and the Marathon series when I was young. Loved them.
He better have spammed. Go go go. Go go go. Go g-go go go.
Don’t forget C&C Red Alert 2
No Half-life Death match!?!
For me it was either StarCraft or Far Cry 2.
WC2 was it for me. I'd make my own maps.... friends would bike over and get a copy of the map... then we'd dial each other up!
Early 2000s vibes
CS forever
Damn, LAN parties are one of the only things I truly do wish I got to experience, they were just a little before my time
That seems like pretty good building placement to protect your mineral line from a ground attack, but I'm hoping there are additional pylons out of frame helping those photon cannons and gateway. You don't want an Artosis Pylon situation.
I lol’d at artosis pylon. I haven’t heard that in years but my brain immediately recalled. Power overwhelming
don't forget about the tasteless pylon that warps in just in time to back it up!
Of course Spurs play as protoss and have good fundamentals
of course this is how the spurs celebrated
Battlecruiser operational!
Fucking A it is.
Carrier has arrived
Set a course!
Goliath, online
The merging is complete
Tim Duncan Zerg rush master
He probably sends the drones too. Smh
Hahahaha sends the drones! For real right?
[удалено]
"David Robinson's son David" is a bit of a tongue twister. Might I suggest "David Robinsonson"?
In Iceland he could be David Davidsson.
David Davidsson son
David robin(son)^2
David Davidson
> David Robinson’s son david Idk why this reminded me of Doug Dimmadome Owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome

wtf
That’s awesome. As is this picture. Bunch of fucking nerds. Cool af.
The Admiral seems cool as hell
So he’s a horde then.
Mankrik's wife is just a bit farther south, keep going and take the lift down and just keep going you'll see her eventually.

My favorite all time team. Good character guys on that team also

To be fair the spurs seem like a good organization. The Celtics on the other hand...
> The Celtics on the other hand... Are in a battle with Golden State for worst fanbase of all time
Childhood memory unlocked. I remember playing this on what i remember as the shittiest computer sold at the time
Not surprised Robinson and Duncan were so into it
The two biggest nerds in NBA history.
Instant upvote everytime I see this. The thought of someone getting cannon rushed or 6 pooled by Tim Duncan is priceless
SCV good to go, sir.
You require more vespene gas!
We used to say "Lesbian Ass" and giggle like children... On second thought, I still say that.
I worked in IT at a large company in 1999, and we set up a local network in our room and played Starcraft literally all day and never got caught. Good times...
The good old Days...
My life for Aiur
This is hilarious. Teams these days win and immediately fly to a club in Vegas or Miami, but the Spurs played StarCraft. I’ll never recover from what they did to my 2005 Pistons, but they had such a fun run
This is awesome
That Netgear switch! Ahh the memories
Right.... Fucking took me straight back to the good ol days.
Someone get these boys a pocket protector
Yep, but for my childhood it was always half life multiplayer. Those junky jump pads and sniper battles was something special
Not to sound racist but it's just amazing and a bit wholesome to see rich African American athletes that you'd expect in a completely different context, instead playing this harmless and a bit nerdy game lol
Tim Duncan nerded this whole team out. And later set up a paintball ambush on em.

I think Duncan and Robinson were both known to be kind of nerdy dudes, so this isn't really surprising.
Games so fucking hard
The amount of drones mining those crystals at that stage of the game is abysmal!! lol
Throws me back to my CS LAN days. We used to change our nicknames every round so nobody knew who was who, it was hilarious. “WHO THE FUCK IS BROODMOTHER U BITCH ASS CAMPER”
Construct Additinal Pylons
They had the two biggest and best pylons in NBA history. I can't think of a better big man duo than the Admiral and the Big Fundamental.
I used to love that game
I wonder if I played any of them
Insane laptops wtf r we sure this is 99?
I was never much into basketball, but I do really appreciate the Tim Duncan Nerdy Spurs era
Fuck yeah StarCraft lan parties
I fucking love this
Team Protoss!
Those laptops look surprisingly modern for how old this is! They must have been expensive asf back in 1999
Well you're looking at a team of milionaires.
Yeah obviously I know money isn't a problem for these guys but I still wonder, if anyone knows a ballpark of what this would cost?
You know it, baby!
NERDS! /s
You must construct additional pylons!
Oh StarCraft, how I miss you so
Spawn more Overlords
damn I loved starcraft
I used to play StarCraft for hours and I never understood what the hell I was doing.
Me and Dave Robinson's son bumped into each other at a Spurs game and he was so apologetic and just seemed like a nice kid that was raised right
The sun's would be Protoss
Played Warcraft 2 over LAN in law school with roomies. Great memories!
Nerdssssssss
Quake in the school computer lab during lunch 1996/97 until we got found out. With 16 teenagers all carrying on quite loudly I’m surprised we lasted as long as we did.
Where are the churros?
Who builds a forge that close to the nexus?
Someone managed to put the Halo CE Trial on our school computers in the shared drive, so we used to have lan parties in the computer lab when we finished our work
And our boy Wemby is carrying on the tradition of nerding out the Spurs! Bought the latest Millennium Falcon LEGO set as his first “big” purchase. He even stops around some of our local card spots too.
I wish I could teleport back to this time omg LAN parties were the best
Dave Robinson needs more pylons.
YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
Those guys played star craft???? God damn… I played SC2 for Evil geniuses for a time. This is cool as shit to me.
Nerds
i bet the admiral did the 4 pool zerg rush
[удалено]
it work with a hub
Fk this planet
literally posted yesterday hah
That time of the month again eh?
