Never really had that problem, since I get a bit tired after 2-3 games, since most games are over so quickly, its the whole build order part over and over again, which kinda bores me..allthough I fear sc2 will fuck me up :D

Anyway, grats to you for improving, gl further.

roflroflrofl...

i think its just a time managment problem... i mean, i have wasted 5 hrs a day playing pokemon rofl.

especially if your in college, the freetime you have is ridiculous. i have 15 credits of class, 10+hrs of work a week, and i'm an assistant at 2 different labs, i have a gf, and i still find time to play SC.

i love how people think its all or nothing on stuff. it is possible to balance work/leisure without being completely irresponsible of it. if it wasn't SC, you'd have wasted your time / gotten addicted to something else.

But still TL >> SC

I've came back in playing FPS games which I can say I'm really good at but my heart will now be forever TL..
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

I still play, but I wouldn't consider myself a nerd. I ladder with some clanmates every couple days or so, so it's not a lifestyle thing for me. It was last year that was a little worse for me I think. I think I've got a pretty decent balance now. It's your choice though, good luck with the ladies reso!

Fighting games are fun. Games of SC take long time to play and you can't just play one. Getting old is sad in a way I guess~

Just balance your free time and continue to play. I only find time to play certain days of the week.

Heh I can kinda relate to this, there was a period of time where I played a ridiculous amount of BW, though I still had time to go to school and do things with friends etc. it was mainly my sleep that suffered in retrospect, often staying up to 4 or 4:30 AM when having to get up around 7:30 to go to school lol, good times.

But Mani tells the truth lol, it's perfectly possible to play BW and maintain an ordinary life.



Yeah it is, i work full-time and go to class after and still manage to keep good grades, go to sleep normaly (about 12 am which is normal for me even before SC) and do waht i need to at work, GJ and GL Res.

It gets exponentially harder once you have a child. Something's got to give unfortunately.

I think all the stories of progamers playing 18 hours a day gives people some ideal that even to play it casually you need to sacrifice you life for the game

yeah.. STARCRAFT is the reason for all your problems... Give me a break. If you let SC get in the way of your life, you'll need to be careful about clubbing getting in the way of your life too. Booze and dancing all night is not exactly the key to success in school or work. You're also not going to get a long-term relationship out of some girl who likes grinding up against strangers lol.

In the end, the only thing that's changed is the game you're playing. You haven't improved at all.

wow dude, i guess we have some things in common. I'm totally playing SSBM right now, and hardly any SC (although I never really played that much to begin with). I'm not so off with the whole socializing thing I guess, I just went to this amazing hypnotist show on campus with a couple girls that I just met the same day ^^ My sleep schedule was effed up because I was watching proleague, but now that it's the offseason i can go to bed at a reasonable hour. I'm also going to start working out more, i feel so weak D= Anyway, have fun irl! Don't forget to micro yourself properly XD

edit: lol at you calling stuff like eye contact, conversations and whatnot "bs." That's so true >_<
