Ah, fond memories of tying up the house phone line all weekend for a 48 hour non-stop Starcraft marathon over AOL, getting pings on battle.net that were embarrassing then but are probably considered warcrimes today.
I remember my friends and I would all be in a waiting room to load a command and conquer map when we played online.
While waiting for everything to lead there was a progress bar so you could see how far along you and your friends loading bars were.
One friends dad as in IT and got high speed internet before the rest of us.
It blew my mind to see his loading bars zoom to complete almost instantly.
