    When your starcraft LAN matches keep lagging out on the default option IPX. You try the other option but it says not installed. So you have to figure out how to reconfigure your network adapter in windows 98 to use this new thing called TCP/IP. You’re in middle school and youtube doesn’t exist.

      … You go to the GameFAQ board to ask for help, rofl.

      EDIT:

      Blam, you timewarp 25 years into the future and realize… holy shit, Blizzard could have built Battle.net into Steam before Valve did, but they completely went all in with WoW instead.

      EDIT 2:

      You warp back to the late 90s, and are extremely confused as to why the ‘replay’ of your last Starcraft game diverges into a whole ass alternate reality after about the 3 minute mark of a 90ish minute match.
