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!)
O/
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.

It's time to ask your doctor about scheduling a colonoscopy.
My doctor is actually a really pretty woman, she's not a proctologist but I wouldn't mind if she was...
Funny, the things you learn you like later in life...
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.
Hotmail, now there is a name I haven't heard in a while. we used to troll a handsome guy at work. After people left his desk he'd come over " Guys can you stop telling staff my e-mail is HotMale@hotmail.com"
Thousands of dollars in games hinging on support for an almost dead domain. Brave.
"We sent you a recovery email, good fucking luck."
My steam login is a Hotmail account but the email on file is my Gmail account. The Hotmail address is more like a username for steam.
The email itself has likely been updated, I too have a steam login username with an email included. Cool bit of legacy flair though
When I was graduating college 15 years ago, I wanted to create a professional firstname.lastname email. Outlook.com was starting to get traction and Hotmail was getting phased out, but I was advised to create my professional email under Hotmail.com because it would seem 'more professional'.
My main email is still the 007 related gmail I created first.
I jumped in on Outlook when it was starting up and got fristname.lastname@outlook.com. I still have a Hotmail account though
I’m almost 50 and have the same email address made up almost 30 years ago. It was so dark & edgy back then.
I’ve aged better than it has. Luckily I have a separate address for work.
That would put you at about the mid-90s. Peak millennial/gen-x goth/grunge/nu metal era. Makes sense.
In honor of Akira Toriyama and millennials / x everywhere.

My first email, almost 30 years ago too, was with an ISP that no longer exists.. My second email was on another domain that no longer exists. I do still have my Gmail account I got when it was invite only, but that one is just my name @ gmail (and you'd think it's cool to manage to grab that one, but I get emails for at least 6 other different people who think that's their address).
"Yes, that's hax0r-noob-slayer@yahoo.com. With a zero in hax0r. And I should have the test results back to you by end of business."
Nope, it's in 13 leaks (haveibeenpwned) and full of spam. Though the provider can use it to train their spam filters.
Good news — no pwnage found!
Interesting.
I made that email address when I was 8.
Though I've been always allergic to putting my main e-mail anywhere. Currently I have 14 active e-mail addresses due to that.
Well I got incredibly lucky so I have a firstname@lastname.de address. Why would I ever give that up? 🥰
Honestly it's so nice. I ended up buying lastname.tld so now I will always have firstname@lastname.tld even if I change provider because I can just point the domain to whatever provider I like.
Back in the day, I grabbed the three letter acronym dot com for my company. We weren't internet connected, just uucp but I knew that it wouldn't be available for ever and it seemed like this internet thing might take off.
Mine is the default password for the first router I got when I moved out. It's just 8 random letters, but they're MY 8 random letters.
I change the password to it whenever we move supplier, along with the SSID, and all my IOT devices just jump back in
Reminder that your google account has a name which is not just your email address. If you don't use google's other services besides gmail and youtube, you probably don't remember what it is. And you probably put in something stupid if not completely offensive. If you suddenly have to use google docs or something, people will see it.
Kinda bummed no one here is representing EarthLink gang. One of my professors used that email and it was clearly made in like ‘92
Not to be that guy, but ackshually EarthLink was founded in 1994 and, for all I know, may or may not have offered email yet at that point.
Also, AOL gang here, we can't be friends.
Guys, this is just a bot. It wants you to share your email addresses so it can sign you up for spam newsletters...
/s
I also have a Yahoo address. Yahoo is such a pain in the ass at this point, but what am I going to do, go back and change the email address on every single online account I've made since I was 11?
I still use ghostinator@hotmail.com for newsletters. I registered it for a beta demo in 1999.
Umm, have a classy username for your official e-mail, and use the teenage one for everything else.
8 year old me who chose surname+name.
I actually switched away from that. Now I do name+purpose+random 3 digit number (optional).
I lost my AOL email long ago, that was the first one I remember, but I have lost many more from the decades since. Still got Yahoo! though.
