My first experiences with SC2 were toward the end of my elementary school, around 1995, before my family moved to another part of the country. I was like 13. Super Melee mode fun to play and the first thing that captured my interest, but soon after I decided to take a crack at the actual game. Almost instantly the Super Melee mode became irrelevant (I play it rarely nowadays), and in summers of 1996, 1997 and 1998 SC2 became THE game of my life, which it remains to this day. I really had problems finding my place in the new surrounding back then, and SC2 was a wonderful comfort...or maybe a distraction.

Like someone also said earlier, it was the first game and perhaps remains the only that caused such honest excitement. Truly brilliant and unmatched writing in computer games creates a live, important and almost tangible world. I love it!

Lena was discovered through the talent show Unser Star für Oslo (Our Star for Oslo), a national final co-produced by public broadcasters and entertainer Stefan Raab.

The single was certified 3x Gold in Germany and Platinum in several other European territories. 4. Historical Context 2010_lena_satellite

Performance Report: "Satellite" by Lena (2010) The subject "2010_lena_satellite" refers to the song "Satellite," performed by German singer Lena Meyer-Landrut , which won the 55th Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo, Norway. It marked Germany's second win in the competition's history and their first as a reunified nation. 1. Core Identity & Achievement Artist: Lena Meyer-Landrut (professionally known as Lena). Song Title: "Satellite." Event: Eurovision Song Contest 2010. Result: 1st Place (Winner) with 246 points. Lena was discovered through the talent show Unser

The win revitalized German interest in Eurovision, leading to Germany hosting the 2011 contest in Düsseldorf, where Lena returned to represent the country a second time with the song "Taken by a Stranger." Eurovision Archives - The Real Chrisparkle Germany 1st in 2010 – Lena – Satellite. The Real Chrisparkle - Lena's performance was minimalist

Unlike many high-production Eurovision acts, Lena's performance was minimalist, focusing on her black cocktail dress and simple choreography, emphasizing the song's infectious melody. 3. Commercial Impact


Yes! I actually missed that copy protection when I saw it wasn't there in UQM Tongue
It was sort of a small challenge and a fun start for the game...

Very few games could give me such a strong sense of nostalgia and fondness... SC2 and Thief: the Dark Project were the ones where this was most pronounced (not incidentally, these two are the best games of all time in my opinion Cheesy)
