 i owe a lot of my early computer skills to halo1 modding and creating fake windows .bat viruses in primary school, minecraft modding was a later accelerant

 In grade 4 I learned that I could name my halo CE trial servers:

!100% N0 L4G!

To attract dozens of people from some unknown espanol speaking countries; connecting to my family's shitty compaq on the other side of the world in australia - oh man did they lag. Hours spent spawn raping defenseless 500ms+ plebs on bloodgulch with the shotgun.
Later started making mods using a gui tool "HMT". I'd add in a tank or exploding sniper bullets. They'd join my server without having the modded files, and they'd get hit by the invisible tank or lit up by a fully automatic sniper which they could never figure out.

 Proxies for accessing runescape and a locally hosted unreal server at school was all I got into.

 I can't remember if adding or removing the S on HTTP would unblock facebook for us. I think it was adding, which sounds so insane to say today
