So many hours at that screen. I actually used to be really good.. ranked I think #12 overall. Beat the #1 dude Grrrr… or whatever that French guy’s battle tag was

Hell yeah dude! What a small world.

I used to be called DarkLegacy back on SC B.Net, I made a map called Chaos War with StarEditPlus - UMS -- the basis of the MoBA genre (the core gameplay loop of attack move trigger spawning units was later copied into countless maps, including Hero Arena, and subsequently, Defense of the Ancients!)

Make it so.

I have no doubt I would have played that. Loved the custom map scene and have been addicted to TDs since then. Sounds like you made a much bigger contribution than I did lol.

Without the players, there is no game, everyone's got a part to play ;))

Anybody reading this thinking "me too:"

It's time to ask your doctor about scheduling a colonoscopy.

Absolutely the same. I needed an account for Red Alert or something like that (Total Annihilation?) and it's still my gamer tag and screen name.
