Be nice... whatever works for him doesn't have to work for you. Crack cocaine is not the same thing as regular cigarettes.

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


yeah, i agree with chef´s post. You can play SC in your FREE time, but still be successful at school or job, go to the gym and ocassionally go out at night, etc. And i don´t see why getting drunk and dancing in a night club is better than playing a game... it´s all about preferences (and u can always do both, or alternate). And, i think that 90% of the times other environments are better for socializing, like u can get to know people better at school or at work if u wanna get serious friendships/relationships..

Sorry, but what exactly is 'free time'?
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.

woah, just how much did you play starcraft?


I played a fair bit. Mostly it was spending time chatting online and on vent and that bs but I did play a lot of games too.

That was really rude. You made a lot of assumptions. Firstly I don't drink. Never have and don't intend to, so "booze and dancing all night" doesn't describe me at all. I went clubbing once; I don't see what is wrong with that. I am not looking for a long-term relationship at a club obviously...it's just for fun -.- I will be even more honest, the main reason why I enjoy grinding/dancing w/e is because it's a safe way to have fun with a girl. I don't go to house parties and do stupid things so I see dancing with girls as a fun alternative.

Again, really unnecessary when I am being positive and telling you guys about my life.

And to all the people who can play sc competitively and have a social life and go to school/work etc. congrats seriously b/c I cannot do it. I get wayyy too into the game (I explained in my last blog).

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.


Well damn, lol. I dont plan to keep playing this game once i am married and get a kid, im only 19 I will probably keep posting on TL though.

Weak. PLAY THE GAME.
