So I'm sitting in programming class bored out of my mind, making endless loops inside other loops that just spam the screen with (>^_^)> kinda of depressed that I still don't have a beta key and wishing I was at home playing BW or just watching some streams when an amazing idea hits me "download starcraft from iccup and play here!" so with my new jolly idea I head on over to iccup.com to download SC and cheese the computer for a bit which takes like 30 minutes because of my high school's internet. Fast forward to 100% i open SC up and try to log into b.net "port 6112 is blocked T_T" so I depressingly go into single player and go ZvT on destination "ye ye 4pool them dumd computer terrs" so while im playing microing it up and getting my 300 apm the kids near me start looking to see what im doing and one goes "hey thats starcraft" so my head turns around to see this 4'2 black kid with an affro looking at my screen with wild eyes of wonder and exceitment. im like ya man you play?
so after 3 days of battling this kid on lan in my programming class, he's terran im zerg and its pretty much i pwn him 4-1 but he's learning fast and we have a blast. once our teacher saw us playing and he kinda just laughed at us playing on lan and walked away so thats pretty cool. so anyway back to 3 days, we go into SC and i go to create the room only to see that there is already another room made...except it had a different map...and username...and he didn't make it O_o so i jump and theirs this guy called shad0wskillet and our convo goes something like
Skillet: yo sup
Me: WTF BBQ??>!?QQ?!
Skillet: wtf? why did you change your username
Me: who are you? (I turn around and tell my buddy to join)
Skillet: lol Tom?
Me: no I'm Zack from programming who the hell is this? (buddy joins)
Joker: yo
Skillet: yo
Me: YO
Skillet: so both of you play sc?
Me: no shit who are you? (other guy called icccup.com comes in)
Me: WTF?? who are you guys!
Skillet: lol were in audio tech
Iccup.com: hi
Joker: cool were in programming room 212
Skillet: 202 :O
Me: lolololol i don't belive this go 2v2 :D
so ever since that day, yesterday, everyday during 2nd period we lan sc with the guys in audio tech, turns out they both play sc on iccup and are as big a nerds as i am.
anyway so thats the end of it, the games were taking up to much space on C: and our teacher deleted it T_T but we chill everyday and play on iccup... waiting for one of us to get a god damn beta key...
thats why im writing this blog instead of playing with them now :S
anyone else have any sc school stories? or just playing sc where others might now expect :O like a massive school library lan party :D

I play in the computer labs to make other people jealous.
|
I learned how to play SC in my high school's computer lab XD
|
I rigged my dormitory with Broodwar. It all started with me and my Chinese dormmate since only two of us play regularly. We had hardcore SC matches every class break. Then everyone else in the dorm was like :O. Apparently, my other dormmates never appreciated the mechanical/strategical value of SC before until they witnessed multiple back and forth battles of Dragoon/Zealot/Arbiter/HT and Vulture/Tank/Vessel/Goliath. They would leave their studies just to watch us play. It didn't end there. My Chinese dormmate knew two Koreans in one of his classes that knows how to play decent SC.
|
Ha that's pretty funny. I never tried to install anything on the school computers but I had one class where we just messed around and it would have been fun if I had 
|
Back in my high school days we hosted SC and Halo tournaments. We got to skip class for them and everything. The school let all the kids with good grades pretty much do whatever they wanted.
I won all the SC tournaments back then because all the kids in my school played SC at a disgraceful level, fastest. So they were no match for me.

Yeah I played Dota for a day in APUSH last year... teacher just kind of looked at the two of us that were playing.
Afterward I just went back to Tetris, since that sounds more like typing.
|
I play both sc and sc2 at my school =P. Sadly no one has noticed/played with me and I just play online cause my schools to dumb to block those ports on the intra network.
|
I am at school right now in typing class. I really do wanna download SC and play it, not sure if I should. And my school has crappy macs..
|
Back in high school, I infected my entire school's library computer lab with Brood War installations.
It was hilarious.
Oh and later I found out they couldn't figure out how to get rid of it so they had to reformat all the computers.
/win

I think im more of a closet nerd. I don't like people knowing i play this old ass game. I would have a really hard time playing it in a public place other than an actual LAN, where its the norm there

Back in school in 2002 or so, we had a very weak religion teacher. We'd always just watch movies or chill out in the computer room. Knowing this, I brought Unreal Tournament with me once and copied it onto the school computer. It quickly spread onto the other computers via network, and wouldn't you know it, we had our weekly Unreal Tournament deathmatches with the whole class, including noobs and girls!
Sadly, after a few months we were told to delete it. Apparently the admin was too nooby or lazy to do it himself. Of course we didn't remove it completely, but kept one copy in some hidden file. I wonder if aga.zip still exists...

Finding a random open SC game on the college LAN? That's pretty awesome

My friends and I took over a small computer lab back in high school. We installed BW on the computers and played whenever we could.
|
last year my mate brought in UT and by the end of that month we had every1 in every IT lesson playing not just nerds every1, lunch times the computer rooms would be full with kids playing UT. funny funny ass times till it got blocked.

There are so many people who play SC in Winnipeg. It's actually ridiculous.
I'm in business and some of my friends are in engineering at the University of Manitoba. I was carpooling with one of them so I would meet up with him at the engineering comp lab. First day, I looked around and there were 9 Asians playing SC. They were in groups of 3, not a part of some huge engineering Asian SC club. I sit down near one group and say something like "Whoa, sweet, StarCraft. Can I join the next game?" Obviously, they're all ~D and play hunters against eachother or comp stomp, but it's still fun.
Other days, I waited (browsed TL) until someone's game ends and then join the lobby of the next game. Everyone plays on UDP so you can even find games from across campus; however, it's harder to predict when they start or end because you can't watch.
Other times, I've been walking around campus and see some guys playing on their laptops. I start up conversation, as mentioned before, and play with them.
The inverse has also happened to me. I've been in channel winnipeg on bnet and meet some guys that join. Then, I'll meet up with them in real life. I've played hockey with a bunch of them, hang out with others, sold computer parts to others, etc. StarCraft is fantastic.

Wow, thats nice.
Nokia Starcraft, connecting people.
|
our school (LM) has starcraft on its general drive and we just chill during frees and just play
we have like 5 fobs who play with me. we take up the same table all the time and just play.
all of them are so good 
|
Yea I installed SC in my physics class like on 6 computers and we just LAN everyday =) =)

I could set up a LAN in my classroom and get zero opponents ._.

Back in high school sc was huge in my school, which is how I picked it up in the first place. We'd have big tournaments with money prizes and you could find games on lan pretty much at any time of the day. Often we'd just stay in one of the computer rooms late at evenings without anyone knowing. I remember thinking it was really awesome playing 8 player ffa on some huge map back then.
It was also a constant war between the nerds that knew a lot about computers (I didn't) and the admin, where he'd remove starcraft and lock down the harddrives, but they'd always find some way around it. Some kid even hid a keylogger in his personal computer.
|
at my middle school my best friend and I found a way to hook up every single cpu we came in contact with(were able to use) with SC but there were soooo many empty folders that hid it that seemed to be important (copies of read me's in some while empty in other folders) so they were never deleted. My best friend and I can only hook up to lan but its still all good. Everytime one of us wanna try a new build or cheese on the other we play(like every 2-3 days for us because we are both really creative players). He plays terran with protoss as his off-race and I play protoss with zerg as my off-race so we can have some really interesting games. I mean, have you ever seen a 3hatch-no pool pawn a DT rush?!?

Thats pretty awesome, findind a random starcraft game of you college LAN; I hope that happens to me sometime, especially since I want to play CSL.
Also, how on earth do your teachers not notice you play starcraft?! Maybe I just click loud, but between the mouse clicking and hotkeys, seems like it would be pretty obvious, and I could defintely see some people complaning about it as well.

At the University of Waterloo's Math&Computer building, one of the Windows labs has been taken over by fobby Chinese people playing DotA, with the occasional Koreans playing SC. Pretty sure some of the others have gotten very annoyed by the copious Mandarin swearing.

For me they notice, they just can't figure out what we are doing unless they play it too and then those teachers ask if they can play the winner of a 1vs1 happening in the next game and then we are all like "wait, YOU PLAY SC?!?" Those teachers actually help us keep from getting in trouble because technically, he/she is an accomplice. It was really weird when my italian teacher was visiting my computers class and saw me playing SC and said " you're good at SC(not full name, just "sc" to keep our teacher from knowing exactly what we were doing)! Do you know about TL.net?" Its sooooo awesome having teachers that play SC and will help you stay out of trouble. Who knew that SC has the power to stop teachers from punishing kids?

In grade 12, after AP exams were over we were bumming around with some math program "project" in our Calc AP classes (nothing to do since exam was done with). A friend and I decided to LAN SC but the wireless had a password so we set up an ad-hoc network. He made the network and as I was browsing the list of networks to join I see another network called "zomg sc lawl" XD. Turns out in the other Calc AP class across from us (school was shaped like an L sorta, they were like a hypotenuse away from us) was doing the same thing and also playing SC, yay
