So, I've been playing this game, Starcraft Brood War, for about a week, struggling against the AI about twice a day until rage-quitting. "Dude," you're probably thinking. " Why aren't you playing SC2?" Because I'm not sure if my computer can run it with just a single core 2.4 GHz AMD Athlon processor and on board GeForce 6150 LE graphics tech. Sadly, there's no demo for me to find out with. But whatever, today, spoiler alert, I finally broke through and was able to achieve my first ever victory in SC1
I chose the smallest map I could, 96x96, and chose to play as Protoss, my new favorite race. I decided, screw it, and built hella tons (hehe) of probes and pylons, then made five gateways. After having scouted the enemy base with a worker, my next move was to send in forty un-upgraded zealots. With this force, I was able to massacre a whole bunch of Zerg soldiers and structures, and built up some hope, something I had lacked while playing the game the last few days.
Anyway, I continued to building up small armies of zealots and sending them off to murder the Zerg until I began to run low on minerals to mine. At this point, I tried to move to a corner of the map where I knew I could find more of the precious resource, but was stricken down by a squad of zerglings defending the spot. After that failed attempt, I was down to just over 400 minerals, and desperately needed a new source of income. After that short scare, I came across some more minerals and set up camps, but was left with little production for a short time. After the new base was established, and mining was back on track, I continued to pump out zealots and run them across the small map to my new base. Every time i piled up 20 units, I'd ship them off to take out the new Zerg base south of my position. After that base was done with, I proceeded to demolish the enemy's main base, and was congratulated with a victory message.
"Cool story bro." Beat you. I'm still pretty pumped up about this, so don't bring me down, kthxbye.
Oh wait, if you've got a NA guest pass for SC2, and nothing to do with it, I'll be your doormat while you try to adjust to the new game. Just sayin'.

For people who didn't know, if you buy SC2 Collectors, you get SC1 and Brood Wars for free on the USB stick.
