Coming from an azn family, I was deprived of games when my parents realized that they were taking too much of my time. (Till now, I only have a PS1). Fortunately, my parents was renting out the basement to a REALLY nice girl... we knew each other well and she gave me the SC Battlechest for Christmas! ! ! ! !
It was fantastic, I remember the first time playing the campaign, I was so hyped about the options that you can do (namely, build these buildings almost anywhere u want!!) I remember I nearly died on the third terran mission, the one where you have to survive for 30 minutes. (I had a burning CC running away lol)...
My friend brought me to B.net, and owned me with carriers on the first match...
I then stumbled upon UMS maps, and never meleed again.
I think the first map(s) i played were Cat n Mouse and some type of defense....
Then my creativity genes caught on to me, and discovered Staredit, and started looking into map making.
The first map i made was Reaver Defense, with 6 heroes to buy, and I used carefully placed civilians to stop reavers from walling (LMAO)
It was going downhill but then, I took Pylon Defense, and made it Pylon D Alpha Land, and EVERYONE PLAYED IT!! I was (a bit) famous, and ppl'd say "HEY! It's YOU! U made Pylon D!" .. (i took full credit only because the first ver of pylon d didn't even have winning triggers ... lol)
After that I was hooked....
Stumbled upon O)farty and O)matt AT THE SAME GAME, where farty hacked and was the computer for AI lurker Defense... he stopped all the enemies so we could win, but killed matt in the end..
we joined his clan, and yes... it was cool...
Clan O was very well populated at times, but very deserted at other times, but the thing that kept me hooked till now is that New maps continually comes out and impresses me.
yay for long post.
None.
