Back in the day there was a demo of Diablo (1). It was 80mb. I had dialup and the connection automatically dropped after 12 hours. I remembered sweating bullets as the clock ticked down waiting for the demo.
Playing Warcraft I at my best friend's birthday party.
Seeing the, at the time, mindblowing Warcraft 2 cinematics.
Starcraft. Just... Starcraft. enough said.
I've also played WoW on and off since close to launch.
Blizzard was a golden company. The company that knew gamers and WAS gamers. The company that would push a game release back until it was ready, and it was worth it--every time. The company that would cancel a game after years in development because it wasn't fun (Lord of the Clans, Ghost, etc).
Man, I feel that.

Blizzard is pozzed and fucked, and it's so sad.
