I thought what I’d do was pretend I was one of those deaf mutes, or something...
The first time I tried to get it to work we didn't even have internet and I plugged the phone into the computer to try to LAN match my neighbor in Warcraft 2.

The first thing I played actually online was prob some bullcrap free Korean game (something Moon? you could shoot dudes with a gun it was rad). Also I was big into custom star craft maps and played dota by accident but I usually was kinda lovely at it, the starship troopers maps were my favorite.

Also I remember using Netzero for my dialup when my family paid for earthlink because the ping was lower, lol
