Jeff Zero, noted fan of the science fiction genre, has never played Starcraft despite having had a copy in his possession for some time now. He has decided today (whether he realizes it or not) to play it. Updates will be in this topic. After he finishes Starcraft, he will naturally move on to Starcraft: Brood War. Then, once Brood War has been complete, Mr. Zero will play the Blizzard game with the Night Elves.
Your course has been set, Jeff Zero. Time to fulfill your destiny.
I hope this giddiness stays for a long time, because dammit you better not flake on this, and you better not stop playing randomly and never pick it up again.
Oh man now I look dumb. Sorry for correcting you, icon. Could've sworn it said November 18th, but my eyes must be failing me in my old age.
Hey man, hopefully the fact that I'm taking the time to update this instead of intentionally letting it purge or something will help ease the coming blow...
...I realized after like twenty minutes of digging through boxes that I let my friend borrow the discs like three months ago. It's OK though, because he's one of the closest friends I have and I see him pretty regularly, so I'll get them back shortly.
This topic wasn't going to purge under my watch, though, and it still won't. But I'm not going to force the issue too much. You just get those games back and I'll be eagerly awaiting your Starcraft playing.
OK, so I'm getting the discs back in a few days. It might be a while yet before I formally commence since this is the last couple of weeks of school here and I've gotta finish my screenplay, see a couple of plays (and write reports), see a performance by the Florida Orchestra (and write a report) and... well everything else is super-easy, so no real worries.
Anyway, what do I do in order to make the games run more smoothly on Windows 7?
Well, the beginning was charming at least. Then things went down and now I just finished that stuff that happened in the desert. I probably used charming because it's been forever since I've played a PS RPG. Those guys are so cute with their tiny little muscular arms and funny running animations.

I actually prefer this sort of stuff over the 'talking stagnant images' gig a lot of lower-budget modern JRPGs do. I know those Xenogears sprites aren't terribly much to look at but they're more emotive (to me) than a still image of some anime moe-looking silliness with a range of ten different forms of blushing!

Anyway, apparently I can run this in Windows XP compatibility mode and it will help things. I want to see if I can upres it too. There's bound to be a mod...
Good news man. (And anyone else who still has this topic tagged, although I can't imagine why they'd subject themselves to that!)
I will be starting either tomorrow or Saturday. I'll only have the chance to play for an hour or so though. For my film final I've taken it upon myself to do something really, really crazy-big in just a couple of days and I still have a play and an orchestra performance to attend and papers to write on them both. So yeah, that's a big chunk of why it's taken so ridiculously long and all.
But I am so going to boot the game up either tomorrow or Saturday. Scout's honor!
