The second era of my gaming disease began when i stepped in GIKI. From here the disease (i am calling it a disease because i have infected many others with this virus as well).
The First Idol (5 BG, 1st Semester-Year 2000):
Now you'll say whats with the BG? BG stands for Before Graduation. I have divided my life in BG and AG periods because they are totally different times in my life.
For the first 2-3 months in GIKI i had no computer, so i couldn't play anything but still i used to play Dave in PC-Lab..hahahaha. What a whacko!! =P. Anyways i got y first mean machine by the end of Oct, 2000. For that machine, i lied with my Mom like hell (I felt sorry for it because she spent a lot on it out of her budget) and i told her that i need all this stuff (512 mb, 1.6 celeron, 32 mb Nvidia card etc) for programming which had nothing to do with me in a 1000 miles. Khair i still bought the machine and returned home (GIKI, yes.. not the one in Gulbahar) with pomp and show.

The infestation begins:
In the time of 5 BG, whenever i used to roam around in my hostel i heard crazy voices coming from my seniors's rooms.
"My life for Aiur",
"Carrier has arrived",
"Huuuuuua, Huuaaaaa, Huaaaa"
"Carrier has arrived",
"Huuuuuua, Huuaaaaa, Huaaaa"
They were cussing each other, hitting their CPUs, constantly clicking on the screen here and there and i used to wonder what the fuck is wrong with them? What are they playing which is making them go insane?. I have to try this as well. This is the point where i started playing my first ever lan game....
STARCRAFT - Broodwar:Though i had no idea about RTS games and also it was my first time playing a game with a mouse and keyboard control but i learnt all that pretty fast. The first alias i ever kept on Starcraft or any LAN based game was "Mast-Khare" (which means a naughty citizen in Pushto). To be honest, i never was a very good player in Brood. I recall myself as an avg one but my team still managed to beat the hell out of the best team in the brood tourneys, twice (2001-2002). I still cherish those wins as it was really funny to see the embarrassment on the faces of those pros who got smacked by nOObs (they thought we were).
This game had only 3 races.. Tarrens, Zergs and Protoss. The aim was to build army, defend ur base and destroy enemy base and forces. Compared to new RTS games it had quite a few unit control options and unit diversity but it skill was fun to play.

Quake II:
This game remained with me for a longer time and i was good at it, much better than Brood. I am naturally more talented in FPS games rather than RTS games. But because of immense practise, i got better at some RTS games as well (In GIKI). Quake II was the first game with high adrenaline rush for me... infact every FPS game is. I love them all like hell. The feeling you get when u are overpowering everyone whos online at that time. You feel like the king of them, you mercilessly rail them again and again and again. Their bodies blown up in smithereens.. you rail their body parts again just to enjoy the victory! Mayeeeeeeeeeeen!!!.
According to most of the Quakers, Rail requires the most skill in Quake II...I was good at rail gun. But the batch 8 guys were waaaaaaaaaaaaay more awesome man. I was enjoying my wins over my batchmates and smacking their asses like hell. The only guy who gave me some competition was Sarfi... he used to be really good with rocket launcher.
Then the day came when i joined a game played by batch 8 guys... through all that session, i just spawned and got railed from nowhere by someone i didn't even see. Maaaaaaayeeen, they were really really goood.... Khair still it was a good time and i can never ever forget it.
The aim of the game was to kill any opponent you see and the one who kills the most is the winner. The only map we used to play was Edge. The different guns were, rocket launcher, rail gun, gattling gun, shotgun, grenade launcher etc.
Will write more about other games and later....
