TBH, right now she'd probably beat me. But I'm training in SC2 with iNc and I'm hoping to be somewhat reasonably good here soon. Problem was/is that I don't currently personally own a cpu that can run it, even though I just got a key. Till I fix that situation (hopefully soon) I have to play only on Geoff's, and, as we all know, that seat is usually occupied.
Lol, training? How exactly do you train?
PS: What was your major (in college)?
Haha, well, so far, training has consisted of a few sessions with iNc looking over my shoulder giving me directions against the cpu to get started, and then quite a few of 3v3 or 4v4 with some Team EG members, my brother, and Geoff...during most of which my function was mainly to be a meat shield. It was fun though, and I'm learning a lot. A couple times, I went over and set up my laptop right next to Geoff, and my brother was usually in the next room - but we still talked on Skype or Vent through headsets. It was the coolest, super-nerdiest few afternoons I think that house has ever seen. I can't wait to get better.
I had a double major: International Studies and Speech Communication with a minor in Spanish.

And as much as I'd like to lol at Incontrol, I haven't even been able to play Dead Space. The game's just too scary!
Well, the main reason for my nick was to imply that no, even Mr. Control cannot control Mrs. Control.
I've heard of a lot of people saying the game was too scary and they turned it off never to be touched again. Geoff eventually beat it, so he must be among the strongest of men. I just asked him what the end boss was and he said "It was a giant vagina. No joke."
...I guess that's why guys thought this game was so scary.

1)how can i introduce starcraft to a girl? :O
at least to watch proleague/msl/osl together in an aura of love :D
edit: 2)(optional) can i ask more than 1 question?
I feel like I've answered this question quite a few times, so be sure to look back over the thread and check out those more detailed answers. In short, women love to feel like they are valuable, and that special attention is paid to their wants, needs and feelings.
If you can tell her "Wow, it's so awesome to be around a girl who actually shows an interest in my hobbies" or "I love being around you so much, I want you to be involved in everything I do!" She might be more amenable to learning all about proleague, etc. Just be sure to start by explaining the exciting basics to her, and then affirming her when she understands/participates like "Wow, you catch on quick, it's so hot to hear a girl talk rpg!"
Then, you MUST balance it out by being interested in the things she does that might be hard for you to get into or understand. Never expect her to put in more effort if you are not willing to do the same!
The truth is, depending on the girl, she may just never really be into watching or playing SC. In that case, it's important to find things that you can do simultaneously. Maybe she likes playing another game while you watch proleague, maybe she likes ot read/watch movies. Whatever it is, set up an environment where she can do something she likes alongside you while you watch/play. For Geoff and I at first, for example, I would lay on his bed and play DS while he laddered. Eventually I got curoius and wanted to be a part of the community.
Women are all different, but in general, we all just want to feel like we are important and desirable. If Starcraft can be a part of that, then I'd say we are more likely to participate.
EDIT: and yes, of course you can ask more than one question!

Also, are there any movies you are looking forward to watching this summer?
Soccer is probably my favorite sport to watch, and I got even more into it when I was living in Spain, but I guess I'm not really rooting for anyone in particular in the World Cup atm, just enjoying watching when I can. I don't have TV/cable at my house so unfortunately it was hard to get too into it this year.
The vuvuzelas are fascinating. I have a lot of friends in South Africa, so it would be fun to get even more of their perspective, but I kinda like that everyone is freaking out about them. I like anything that is a unique cultural phenomena (read: International Studies Major) and I think deep down I feel like Africa is such the bullied kid that even the most annoying little poke back at the rest of the world brings me a certain degree of glee. As far as the players, I kinda look at it like showbiz: it doesn't matter if your sick, or there's an annoying audience, or there is a distracting sound, the show must go on! That's what makes you a real performer, and, in may ways, a real athlete.
In terms of movies, there are a few (Geoff and I love to go to the movies, midnight showings are kind of our "thing." But in the near future we are really pumped about 'Inception.' We're both enthralled by the power of ideas, and a movie based on the theft of ideas is something we both geek out about. Plus we both think Leonardo DiCaprio has become a freakin amazing actor.
also if u ever broke up with inc, and u answered yes to masamune's question of still visiting and posting on TL without it being too awkward, and u didnt say yes for the sake of it, and u were honest in ur answer, would u consider dating another TL user, perhaps one from Canada with a reaver icon and 1800+ posts?

I think it is a legitimate question that i actually want an answer to. Shaving in general. I didnt point to any particular body parts. the end remark was just me being to be a little funny cuz obviously no girl wants it to be a little hairy!
EPT
