If you think sports casters calling 30 old don't tune into eSports where they call 25 old.

I know, it's rough. I remember watching StarCraft 2 back in the day, and one of my favorites was "WhiteRa", and they always made comments about him being ancient at 32...

Good ol' "Special Tactics" WhiteRa. It's funny, because most of the top SC1 players are now that age.

I'm old enough to have played OG Star Craft, ~~v1.0.3~~ v1.05 on CD ROM on an AMD K6-2 with 64MB of RAM...where'd my ibuprofen go?

Same here. SC1 and Civ II were the first computer games that I owned.

I didn't play Civ II, I was into Starcraft, Incoming (1998 Rage Software), the Motocross Madness demo, Space Cadet, and RCT.

Yes! Special tactics... I also remember twitch chat (I think it might have still been justin.tv then) would laugh about how many tea breaks he took per day.

It feels like ages ago.
