    No. The cure to male loneliness is PC LAN parties where everyone hauls their giant-ass desktop towers to the school computer lab/similar space for Day of Defeat and Counter-Strike.

        So good. I think we also did Warcraft or Warcraft 2. I would personally add Unreal Tournament to the list.

          I’m in for wc2 but only after fiddling for 45minutes with a single lan cable to direct connect our 2 (heavy!) pc’s without a lan nor internet! (if i hear the word wifi i will turn my head sideways in confusion).

            Did you need a crossover cable for that back then? I think later on the NICs could figure that out themselves.

            Fiddling with network settings to get it to work is literally why I remember Warcraft.

        Yes, the “this sucks, we’ll never get it working” period made the, “Holy shit, it’s working, we’re all on the same map!” period that much sweeter.
